• › Shopping Adventure #2 — I Said I Was Just Looking…

    Shopping adventure today as well! Not as much damage as the other day, but still a lot of damage 😅 At least the bank account doesn’t cry today.

    Natural candy (almonds, cashew nuts etc.) ● five empty spray bottles (they came in one pack) ● sodas ● phone charging cable (3m!) ● blister bandages (again. I forgot mine at home, so I had to buy another pack) ● permanent markers (so I can label the bottles with what they contain) ● a new hairbrush ● ice cream (review later) ● reusable makeup remover pads ● a travel-size hand sanitizer and probably more — I am so exhausted. Sleep deprivation plus people. Woho.

    The original plan was to go into town to meet up with my son’s friend’s mom and give her something they requested for E, then go to the store to buy the candy (nuts), travel-size bottles and look for a new phone charging cable — JUST LOOK. Not buy one.

    Oops.



    Well… that decision changed quickly when Elin and I discovered they only had one black cable left, so I grabbed it. No doubt.


    No, I don’t have a picture of everything I bought. It has been 250 mph all day, but I managed to take a picture of the box with the cable (I opened it so I could charge my phone while I’m taking a bath — yes, I have my phone with me when I take a bath).



    I think I have everything now for my trip (except some food I can eat while waiting for the plane, but I’ll buy that on Saturday or Sunday. I leave Sunday night).



  • › Chaotic Thoughts, Expensive Medicine & Pepsi Max Addiction

    Not every day is productive — some days are just survival mode.

    The struggle is real today.

    Another day has come to an end and I have actually been struggling a lot with my head. So many chaotic thoughts, mental struggle and all that shebang.

    Today hasn’t been much other than I went to the drugstore and got my new medicine. Ridiculously expensive! 3907 SEK! That is 353€ and/or $402. This will be the price for me MONTHLY 💀  I almost passed out (not literally)  when I saw the amount.

    Holy h*ll!



    I also went to the supermarket. I was only going there to buy French fries but I left the store with 8 bottles of Pepsi Max and the French fries.

    I know – Emma… you just bought a lot of Pepsi Max..yes, yes I did but .. a girl can never have enough. Plus it was on sale/campaign so .. why not? 😅💀 I think i need to enter a rehab for Pepsi Max addiction.  Like no joke (joking at the same time).

    Oops.


    Bulgaria trip; I have started to pack. I know,  3 weeks-ish till the bon voyage but me, ADHD and chaotic memory need to do this. But today I only fixed the travel bottles with essentials I need. I haven’t brought the suitcase up from the storage room yet but if I know myself, it will come up to my beloved bedroom within a few days. Oops! 😇

    My mental struggle today has been that I haven’t had energy. Also talking with the doctor about my meds made me exhausted. So much information I had in a 3-minuteo call. Crazy. So I have a  migraine right now – not only because of the phone call but the stress around everything.
