• Our sweet four legged creature got the all clear from the vet this week, so that drama is behind us. He just needed to go down a pound & that’s what he did. Something we’re very relieved about. For a month we where dragging him out several days a week for long walks to get him to lose weight. He’s off of the junkfood though, those days are behind him.

    During the lockdown I had very vivid dreams, stress dreams that where bordering on nightmares & I don’t think I was alone in that. I would wake up everyday & realize that COVID 19 was still here. It is still here but the cases are getting rarer & rarer in my part of Norway. I still rarely go into town & when I do, I have to have a purpose.

    That is something the lockdown taught me, to have a goal, Everyday. No matter how small or big. I did do some stress baking, that is okay but you can only do so much of that until you get bored with it. You realize whenever your pheat is over that there’s still a pandemic. It was like ripping off a band aid for a little while only to realize that the wound hadn’t healed.

    I realized to my great to surprise that I can handle stress rather well & that I am alright under pressure. I don’t think of the worst but when we where in the middle of the lockdown just took everything a day at time. One day, from morning to night. Then I would repeat the next day. I can recall the first time I took the bus under the lockdown to get groceries & I was terrified that I shed a tear on the bus.

    Needlessly to say I didn’t catch COVID 19 on the bus, but I used hand santizer religioulsy. I still do. & probably will for a long time to come. Till we have a vaccine or it gets eradicated.

    To all those still in a lockdown, breathe in & out. It will pass.
    Till next time, stay safe.

  • He got an all good from the vet today, he doesn’t need to lose anymore weight. They’re going to inform the mattilsynet about that.

    I am so happy!! Yay! Like I said it’s not my karma.

    Till next time, see ya on the flipside.

  • gradual reopening

    I am so excited that society is on it’s way to be back open again! Staying 2 months at home has been fun, but really!? This weekend we’re finally hiking with a friend of mine, of course a meter apart. It’ll be great to see people move about more freely again.

    As for the dog, he’s down nearly 2lbs & is looking skinny. We’ve found some great places to hike & is no longer walking around Bergen’s version of Greenlake. Which was really beginning to Bore me, I don’t understand people that walk around & around & around. It’s really not that thrilling.

    I have a bum knee, so that’s something new I am dealing with, but it hasn’t stopped me from hiking (with the dog,) of course up Bergen’s second highest mountain from the steep side, not the ever so over popular main trail.

    Enough with the rant, let’s get back to the good stuff, next week I can go back to my writing spot & the Universities are opening again!! Yay. That should get rid of the assumptive brats on the mountains for a while. Oh & I ran an errand today in record time. I call that karma. Something I have lots of, the good kind.
