  • We got Winter

    The snow that fell is going to stick around for the next week & half. Yay! Something we didn’t expect. It’s cold outside hovering around the zero C mark. It feels like we have 4 seasons back. Last year all we had was hail for 5 months.

    Winter is here along with the sun extending the days. It’s beautiful & slippery out. Just as it’s supposed to be. I am really happy about having Winter again. I have use for heavy downy & sometimes wearing socks to bed. As a real Norwegian my bedroom window is always open, no matter how cold it is.

    I am excited that we have a real season, takes my mind off the collapse of democracy & the big question that remains of what will happen next. Till next time, wear your wool socks & sweaters.

  • Shock

    It’s hard to find the words after what happened in D.C. A place I once knew as safe & democracy crumbled in a matter of hours. Watching it on the TV was gut wrenching & sad.

    I am glad my family & friends are safe but the question remains of what will happen in the future. That’s the scary question? I just feel that the government as a whole let people down.

    When they allowed him to become president in the first place. That’s why we left as we saw the writing on the wall. I wasn’t surprised by what happened, just sad that it went as far as it did.

    Now, we have to sit back & wait. Scary as that is insurrection is frightening. A democracy crumbled on live television around the world.

    Till next time, be grateful that you’re safe.

  • Another lockdown

    I was really excited for the new year, then boom another national lockdown. It’s only for 2 weeks though which is okay. Hopefully the government won’t extend it?

    My resolutions are pretty simple this year, spend my time with people who value my time & my friendship. Toxic people & flakes are out. I realized this before Christmas when I realized I had lost 6 hours in 2 years Waiting.

    I will also find a profession that suits my writing & finally finish my second book. Something I have been working on for six months already.

    I met a kind neighbor this morning & that has restored my faith in the hood we live in. Something I will thank him for next time I see him.

    I feel grateful for my marriage & my best friend who tells it like it is. I am sure the lockdown will end soon. I only hope the COVID will stay somewhere in the 20 people per day. If it spikes to 60-80 people again I will not be happy.

    Fingers crossed. Till next time. Stay warm.
