Driving license – part 3.

November 2021, I started with the theory part of the driving license. Studdy roles and law’s for how to drive, trafic signs and what to not do as a driver. A bit more motivated this time and doing it all in Norway (never again in Sweden!). I was studdy for four months before I booked a date for the Theory test which you have to past before you can book a date for the driving test, but you also have to past 4 different levels of driving before you can book the driving test – insane if you ask me!!

I have until now (2022) taken, according to myself, to many driving lessons… Slowly I am getting closer, step by step to actually take the driving license.. But I have also past the 3 first levels I have to past so I am happy for that!!

*In Norway you need to past a the theory exam and the driving school has manny moments that are mandatory to take and past before you can do the license test. It’s expencive and much more complicated than manny other countries.

I’ve been taking driving lessons since February 22, a gap of 3 weeks in July becauce of the Summer holiday here. Had one driving lesson in the end of July. Non in August becauce I were working long day’s. September 22 came and I found a new driving school closer to home. And a co-worker told me that *passing the theory exam in Norway means that you have 3 years(!) untìl the time runs out to clear the driving test. That helps a lot for me, not that my goal got further away. It just helps becauce I can’t stress or be pushed (stress symptoms brain) and becauce of my work scheduel.

October came and I finally had my first private peactical run with one of my work leaders. But I did the compulsory first aid course and passed 🤩🤩. November 23rd had I the mandatory dark driving and past. 🤩🤩.

December 6th, I had my first normal driving lesson with the new driving teacher to check my status of “how far have I got and how much do I have left?” The nxt mandatory part is the legendary slippery course including theory of how we drive on slippery roads and winter roads. I past that too 😅.

Project December 22.

I finally found the old doors I have dreamed about for years, this December.

Hoe the old doors look like when I bought them.
Sanded, first layer of colour on one side.
Golden door with one layer of black.
Table legs, 2nd hand, perfect.
2 of the legs screwed into the door, temporary solution with reused plastic bags from coffee as a temporary cover until I bought the plexiglas I need to protect the paint.

I can now finally sew. 😍😍🧵📍✂️

Updating the layout for 2022.

If you visiting my blog today – 28th of December – you’ll see that the post’s getting in under menu’s, which is how I want it. Sadly I haven’t figured it out how to do it while I am posting it, therfor I’ll do after a while which happend today.

Hope you understand and find what you are looking for.

Christmas Day -22.

Remember to enjoy this day no matter if you are with friends, family or alone at home or away! It’s a day for us all no matter where we are in life! Jesus was born for you.

I am home alone, almost, my cat is with with me…

Listening to the sound from the TV service..

I am watching the early morning Christmas Day service, which in Sweden is called ‘julotta’ and in Norway called ‘julemesse’. This was something I gladly did every year as an aduldt with my mom, and now 2 years after ahe died I do it with thoughts of her ❤Mom❤.

With one of my favorite songs during Christmas “Holly night” 💜. I need to hear it at least once on Christmas Day.

Christmas is often said “to spend time with family & friends” probably becauce it’s a long tradition and what most people are used to do. But my question is; why can’t you or me be alone in this time and celebert Christmas? I like being alone at home and just be, doing nothing or being creative. No stress, no must’s, just me 😊. I don’t say I don’t like being with friends during Christmas. I like the mix of both. Yet, I think it’s interesting how most people thinks ” you must/should not be alone during Christmas “. Why?

I am curious about what you think, please write your thoghts if you like this post.

I have to say I have been like this since I were a child, so those thought are not new. I don’t say I don’t miss having “my own family and spend time with them” even during Christmas or any other Holiday. I guess I am saying I like my Quality time to do what I like 😉. Anyway, I am never alone cauce the Lord is always with me no matter where I am or what I do 😊✝️.

Maybe you work this weekend, then you are with co-workers, not alone all the time yet you will have time to be alone and / or a chose to be with your loved once. Maybe you don’t have a family and spend most of your days alone and need to spend time with friends this weekend, then do! As long as you enjoy it ❤. We all have different life and we all have different needs in life and it’s okay 😉.

So back to the first line of this post remember to enjoy this time of Christmas alone or with friends or family. Do it your way and Enjoy it.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas eve, 24th of December 22.

A resume of today to you all.

I woke up with headache 🤪 07:30am, but that is now almost over 10am. I’ve just been dribking my coffee and watching “the Christmas story for kids” on the television, which they send from 1st of December to the 24th every year. A new story every year, it’s more like a drama play. And often some kind of action in the story.

I am going to fulfill the Christmas decoration of the Christmas tree 🎄 with lights and go for a walk with Silver before I heading out.

🎄💝☃️10am 😍💝🎄
Dinner with a co-worker and her family. 7pm.
Decoration at dinner.
Merry Christmas.
Christmas tree, as it should be. 🤩.

And at home I just had to watch Home alone the original.

Maybe you say “yes what about it” or “wow”. Whatever you think. It’s rare with snow here so I am like a child today. Happiness. Snow 😍😍😍. I can only enjoy it even if the bus was 20 min late just becauce of the snow 😆😆.

Happiness.

Winterland 22.

❄❄❄❄2022, Ganddal, Bore etc.

It started to snow Tuesday 6th to Wednesday 7th night here in Sandnes municipality and neighboring municipalities. Which it hasn’t in years and is so Unusual that when it happends you just have to enjoy it.

Kleppekrossen walk between “my” busses.

I managed to slide right outside my work, and landed on all four which means pain for me in my sad knee and sad wrist. Which led to one cruch to work Thursday and Friday… But hey, one or two cruches for me doesn’t mean I can’t work. I am to used to use them when I work that it’s just everyone elses question I have to answer.

Thursday morning.
Icy schoolyard vs snowy road, Friday 9th, waiting on the bus to get home. 🌡-3°C but it felt like -10°.
Saturday 10th.
The first walk in the snow this December for Silver, he showed clearly it was cold and scarry so he wasn’t out more then max 5 minutes. My brave indoor cat 😍🐈😍.

The snow is still here, Monday 12th, and it has even come more snow this weekend 😍😍 and today. If 🤞 we are lucky. We’ll have snow for Christmas 😍😍🤞🤞🤞 and not just the cold temperature.

I enjoy every moment of this winter. And counting down (in my head) to the 21st when I go on Christmas holiday 🤩 .

12th of December, -22.

Words from the Lord.

Today I have been thinking of the word grace. How we use it and how we use it. Mostly “we can recieve grace from the Lord “, but how can we use it in our daily life as christians? Well, I think that by being thankful for what the Lord is doing in us every day we recieve grace and by grace we can reach our co-workers in a higher level then they understand. So, what is my piont? Well, I say pray for your co-workers every day and the Lord can do miracles.

1st of December 2022

Words from the Lord in December.

Grace to the World, in the middest of all challenges you have. Stay in touch with me – your lord all the times and I will guide you.

online dating (annoying or not) part 4.

The 2nd date was nice too. I wont give you details becauce that’s private. But I can tell you, we watched a movie he liked and was too predictable action for me… We thought we liked the same kind of movies, now I’m not so sure anymore 🤣🤣.

Here and now the day after the date evening, I’m not so sure we gonna go on a 3rd date. I don’t have a good feeling that we actually have so much in commen… but hey! Two dates with the same man is more then I have had in a year 😊😊. And I am actually quite okay with that! 😊

I’ll trust the Lord and my inner voice that telling me “maybe not more dates with him, we might not look for the same things in life”. And that is fine for me!

I have had two fun dates and I’m very okay with that. 😊.

To know when enough is enough with the one you date. And focus on other fun things. Now it’s time to focus on Advent 😊🤩 . Maybe I go on other dates maybe not until after New Year. Who knows?!? I don’t and I am fibd with that! 😉.

What I have learn so far, is that, if I talk to the Lord of my wishes then I have to listen to him to talk to me. And I need to have patince for the Lord to do his work. To think that, “I’ll find my hubby will be easy when the Lord is with me” isn’t really right thinking. It takes time. So don’t put your focus on when but on the lord. Let him guide you. Go on dates to figure out what you don’t want is also important. Have your focus on other things in life and go on one date here and there is okay. It doesn’t always need to be for you, it can actually be generous enough to just let the other person figure out what he/she is looking for especially if he/she has been in a long relationship not long ago. 😉. Be the Christian you maybe want to be, the one that hear the other person, or just go on a date to get out there. You need to start somewhere.

And go back in time, ask the Lord to remind you on what you have asked for years back in what you want in your partner. See if it’s the same now or have you change? What do you really looking for in a partner? What’s what you really want in life? And trust the Lord! He has a plan for you and your future. And please, don’t let other Christian people, friends or family tell you what you need. You know you and the Lord knows you. 💜. You can ask for guidence from friends and family or ask them to pray with you. But trust the lord for “a train” to jump up on and see where it takes you. It might not “be the one” but you will learn so much about yourself and what you are looking for to just try to ride “the train” 😉. Who says love is easy or just fun? Give it a try, you will learn a lot and bring your knowledge with you to the next relationship. Stand on your terms for what fits you and your faith. 💜.

I don’t know if I have found love, but I am willing to try and see where it leads me, and that’s why I am on this dating app. A Scandinavian dating app.

The challenges as a woman in perimenopause – not many talks about. Part one.

Daily challenges in my daily life. To let the Lord be apart of everything no matter what and maybe even more when life changes. To trust and have patience.

The challenges to be a young lady with perimenopause and those challenges. No one of my girl friends has been where I am cause they have had a kid or kids. Mom is gone so I can’t ask her about how it was for her or when it started for her… To understand the “new life” being a young woman with perimenopause.

How a womans life change… with pain, Hotflush, Night sweats, Irregular periods, Vaginal dryness, Chills, Sleep problems (have I had since 2003 cause stress), Mood changes (no change here yet), Weight gain and slowed metabolism (I have rearly notice this), Thinning hair (nothing yet) and dry skin (not more than normal 🤪), Loss of breast fullness (I would think this is more comman for woman who have been pregnet).

The hotflushes … they comes as sudden as everything else in the perimenopause… How I sudden need to lay down in the couch cause I shake and freeze as much as my skin feels like it was burning (the start of a hotflush) in the same moment as I don’t have any energy 🤪😔.

The nauseousness comes approxy 10-15 min after the hotflush and I can be nauseous up to one hour or more. Which leads to I can’t eat breakfast – the really base for me. I don’t get bad every time, which I am really thankful for. Yet, the whole thing is to try to cope with this.

I think I got into the perimenopause becauce of a mix of things in life. One cause I haven’t had kids, an other cause of my eating disorders and the third is probably genetic… I don’t get hotflush or nauseousand every month, just wgen I do it’s changes how l8ng I am… Yet, it’s never fun when it hits you!

Things you have to figure out by yourself and talk to your doctor…is why is the periode late? How long does it “need” to be gone before recieving the facts that ” you got there without warnings”? And how early it actually can start!?! Why isn’t anyone talk about this with us ladies about this? Shouldn’t the suciety take more responsibility? Teach in the schools? Inform us through magazines mm.

Not even the churches talks about it 😔. Why is even the churches quiet about this? Why is this something that is so private?

I have co-workers who got it and they are surprise I already got it. I think that says quite much about “what women knowledge or not knowledge” is about this stadge in life. And that is sad! Therefor will I share! It should be as easy to talk about this any other ‘awkward’ thing. No fuss! This is as important as the knowledge about safe sex, when to have sex, rape etc. It can all happend to us, maybe especially us woman

Just the challenge to have enough energy after work for life isn’t the same anymore past 40. I am 🤞 (crossing my fingers) for more energy today, tmrw and for the future than I have had so far. Because I need my energy every day.

Yet, I am thankful for life, work, the challenges life comes with. And I am burning for facts tha most other don’t talk about.
