Laugh

I’ve had a wonderful week. Not. I’m cutting down on an anti depressant medicine because I will stop take it. I will try another one but you have to stop taking the one you’re on before you can do it. I’ve stopped taking other medicines before but this is the worst one. This week I’ve had every disease there is because of this cutting down process! I’ve had everything from a cold to a fever and haven’t been able to do anything.

Other than that I’ve had a cold for two months. I am tired! I think my forever cold is because my thyroid isn’t working. I used to take medicines because of a my “broken” thyroid but I stopped taking them. Big mistake! You usually have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of your life.

Yesterday I “dropped in”to a doctors office because of my cold. You can drop in if you have a lighter disease you want help with. My cold was too light for them and I booked an appoinment with a doctor later. They will do not only a “cold exam” but also a thyroid exam. Hilarious times at the moment.

The positive side to this is that my candy obsession is gone.

Candy ban

I haven’t eaten candy in almost a week! I want to say it’s because I have a strong will but it’s not. I’m changing anti depressant medicine and when you do that you have to stop the one you’re taking. I’m cutting down on the one I’ve been taking for many years. This is the hardest medicine I’ve ever stopped taking. I have flu symtoms and no appetite. That’s the reason I haven’t eaten candy. Good times you think but not for me. I have trouble keeping my weight and loose a lot if I don’t eat.

I have to eat even though I’m not hungry now. I have a good appetite usually but not now. I know many of you don’t think I should complain. “I want to loose weight and would be excited if I wasn’t hungry.”

I’ve always fought to keep my weight and to be too thin is hard. When I meet doctors for the first time they ask if I eat. It feels rude to me. I eat more than I should but can’t put weight on! Now I have no appetite and I’m probably loosing weight right now. The candy I don’t want but food I need. Well.

Potatoe omelette

I love omelettes. The dinner idea of the day is potatoe omelette.

I often think a plain omelette doesn’t fill you up. Put lots of things in it and it will. This omelette has potatoes, peppers, broccoli and bacon in it. Broccoli is a healthy vegetable and I try to make something with it often. It is good in omelettes and with the salty bacon it’s delicious!

I cut the potatoe in thin slices. I fry it for a while before I put the rest of the filling ingredients in. When it has been cooked for a while I put the eggs in.

Dirty

I love staying in hotels. It’s the best vacation to not have to do anything but just be. Although……….

I watched an english show where a comedian told how dirty hotel rooms were. She took her own pillow and duvet with her because she didn’t want to sleep in the things the hotels had. I know what she means. It’s disgusting to think about what goes on in hotel beds! I try not to think about it but when you find a dark curly hair in the bed it’s hard not to. I would never buy a used bed and a hotel beds are used to say the least.

She also said the remote control is the dirtiest thing in hotels. Yuck! Haha I won’t say what she said about it but it had to do with men staying alone and what they did while they were there. Disgusting!

I used to clean hotel rooms for a while when I was a university student. You never knew what you would find when you opened the door to the room you were cleaning. The beds were often full of things that shouldn’t be there. I remember one time another cleaner found a room full of blood. I don’t know what had happened but it couldn’t be enjoyable to clean it.

Laziest

-Kajsa tell all how lazy mom is.

-Mom cut half my fur and said she would cut the rest later. She hasn’t.

Crying

Sweden is a country in tears at the moment. If you have missed it, a lorry drove on a busy street aiming to kill people. It both killed and injured many.

There’s all this meaningless violence everywhere and it’s hard. I think the swedish king said something good though. “There are more good than evil people out there”.

Take care of each other! You never know what will happen.

We have watched the news all the time the last couple of days. A bit funny things in all the madness, all that candy on the table.

 

Dinner party

I don`t think having dinner parties is enjoyable. The party I love but not the dinner part. I`m not confident in my cooking and think no one will like what I serve. I know I can cook reasonably well but when it comes to feeding others I`m very uncertain as to how it will taste. When I go to friends for dinner I`ve never been disappointed at what they serve. The food is only a small part of the evening and even if it isn`t that good I don`t care. I know the friends that come to my dinners think the same but it doesn`t help.

Speaking of dinner parties, when I was younger one of my mom`s friends use to come over for dinner and I normally made the desserts. She is hilarious and I remember those dinners to be full of laughter. Anyway there are two of those dinners that stand out from the rest.

The most important when it comes to dinners is that there is enough food for everyone. I remember one time my mom was making lasagna. She was supposed to do one lasagna for the three of us. The oven tin she was using would serve maybe four large servings. I said that I thought one lasagna wasn`t enough. We talked back and forth about it and my mom ended up making two. They say mom`s are always right and oh boy how right she was. We ate half a lasagna! We had to eat the rest for days!

The other dinner party involved me doing more than I should. My mom`s friend loves desserts and I went all in that evening. I decided to make a cake with many layers and soft caramel on top. The thing was I had never made that many layers in a cake or (!) caramel before. I almost cried! When I tried to cut the cake into all these layers it fell apart and I ended up with bread crumbs instead of slices. The caramel………. It was far from soft. It became chewy toffee which I tried to put on top of the crumbs. I ended up making short bread! Not jam filled short bread with whipped cream that would resemble a dessert , only dry short bread.

I love cooking at dinner parties! Not.
