I finally got a job! I was there yesterday and was shown what I am supposed to do; clean offices above a mall. Not very glamorous, but very well paid :o) Today I'm going to work all by myself, just me and my music... And I only work after 6 at night, when everyone's gone home, so I still have all day to do nothing!

So we finally named Thess' goldfishes. I said thay reminded me of people with that exaggerated tan you see everywhere this time of year. The only difference was that these fishes keeps the tan allthrough the year.

Thess nodded and said: "Just like Barbie". And so our fishes were named Barbie and Ken.

They're still not finished with the bathroom, but I moved back anyways. Thess and Martin are here and I can always use the shower at my parents house.

After living here for one year we finnally bought lamps for our livingroom and a trashcan for our kitchen. It was really different to sit in the livingroom for the first time after installing the lamps. It was light, and the wallpaper actually didn't look awful. Amazing!

This morning Thess and I went for a morningdipp. It was still really cold despite the unusually hot summer, which was good 'cause it really woke us up. I can't say the water is clean, but I feel clean and now I won't have to go to my parents house to take a shower today.

I am still amazed that I get to live here. In the middle of Stockholm and so close to the water with this beautiful view. I can only dream about ever living like this again. And I think I've fallen in love with our apartment with all it's faults. I simply don't want to leave. Well, let's not think about that now, that day will come, but not now..

One more thing!

Back in business!

So I've been away. I wish it was on vacation! First I spent two weeks in a kitchen on a camp in the middle of nowhere and when I came back I found my apartment in a mess and without a bathroom. They're changing pipes in my entire building, but not all at once just one or two apartments a year. I guess it was just our turn... The good news is we have a toilet, the bad news is there's dust everywhere after the drilling and wrecking. Conclusion: I'm staying with my parents.

Now it isn't all bad staying with the folks. They pay for food, I won't have to book my laundry-time one week in advance and I get to see my friend Elise a lot more since she's dating my brother (who's also staying at my parents, but that's his story). It's just, they have these cats, two really cute, palyful, black cats who I am really, really allergic to. So basiclly I'm walking around being grateful for food and roof over my head while I can't at all breathe through my nose. And oh, I still have to pay rent for my apartment.

I know, I shouldn't complain. I'm lucky to have parents I can live with when theres nowhere else to go and I really do love my parents. They just drive me crazy sometimes. And it's in my nature to complain, it doesn't mean I'm not really grateful for everything I have.

Okay, so now I feel like I'm starting to repeat things. Maybe it's just time to quit. Yeah, I think it is.
