April – mia-simone. svenberg

Peaceful and good harmony, Thankful are my words for my new home. The door God, Heavenly Father open up for me in my stressed life situation in March-26.

Once again, when I ask the Lord to take control and do things his way he gives me peace and open up the right door for a new place.

Last Saturday I went on three viewings. And the last viewing wasn’t a normal viewing. It became like an invitation for a long chat. The talk had a feeling of harmony with worship in the background. A prayer answer. A Christian woman my age wanted a room mate 😊, just like I wanted to rent from a woman.

My new neighbourhood is so much relaxing for me and my brain. The mountains I can see through my windows, the daylight I have, the peace and harmony that is in this home and house 😊🙌✝️.

Thank you Lord to answer my prayers! For showing me you Lord had something better for me! 🙌✝️. Thst I can be me here. Not worry about unnecessary things like if I “will get enough sleep?” or “when will I fall asleep tonight?”. No here I can really relax 😊.

I have been protected from all things around me 🙌🙌. I’ve received ” Don’t fear I’m in control ” several times this past month. So thankful for that! To trust has been what I have had do 100%.

I have, for a long time, today [April 3rd 2026] used my water colours. Helpful to clear my brain from bad stuff! ‘Writing’ verses from the Bible to encouraging myself. This has been a bigger part of my life back in the day’s.

Encouring words which I fill up my wall with 😊😊. And will continue with.

I have a little bigger room here and I have almost every thing I own here 😊😊. A wall of boxes that I think I need to cover 😅 so I don’t need to see it 😅 when the door is closed 😅.

I have the good energy back in both my body and mind here. So so thankful!

God, Heavenly Father I pray that you will continue to bless this home. Continue to protect us. Continue to provide for us and our lifes. Father,I pray you help us find a good routine after the Easter holiday. Thank you Lord for everything you do! 🙌🙌

All the glory to God.

The Lord is blessing my life in so many ways right now!

Six weeks has past since I let Silver-boy fall asleep and never wake up again here on earth. And it is a bit hard to understand it has past 6 weeks! Yet that’s the facts. I am thankful for work and that I have got more hours as a substitute teacher. And actually got the responsibility for more classes in Art&craft, planning and contact with the teachers for those classes and the fact I’ve been throwing in to the goal and grade targets and criteria for the three grades. Somethings I love more and more.

It’s interesting how the Lord has guided me into this subject and this school! I’ve been working in the school for 6 years now and it isn’t until this year I have understand what the Lord have been trying to tell me 🤣🤣. Yet I am thankful for most of my experience to know where or where not I want to work or with what!

Teaching the 5th graders to make an apron. Planing, writing and drawing a pedagogic pattern for them to understand.

Those last two days (April 13th) have I also been able to sew 😊 first time since the 25th of March without backpain. And that is happiness.

Here is the results of 2 pair of jogging pants became 1 pair. I’ve used the backside of both pair.

I continue to take one Day at the time, I still talking to Silver like he was here, but not as often now as in the start, which I think is a good process. Because of more work hours I am glad Silver is in heaven and that the Lord watching over him when I am at work and that I don’t do have a bad conscience if Silver was home alone (as I have written about before). I am thankful for life and what the Lord has in plan for me and my future!

This is also a blessing in the way that it is just about me and that Silver-boy is in heaven. If Silver-boy had been here and sick on treatment I wouldn’t been able to both finish the driving license and pay for Silver’s treatment. I see more and more positive things being single without a pet. It might sound harsh but for me ut is a blessing.

In memory of Silver, the cat that learned tricks 💙, this picture is from 2019-21.

💙🐈💙 One of my first driving when I past the practical driving test will be “with Silver’s cat-cage” on the car and just drive somewhere because I promised him that 😊💙🐈💙.

Those last weeks has also learn me how the silence is good to communicate with the Lord. To think out loud. To reflect on all good things that has happened in life with Silver and how I managed to live without a pet before I got Silver. Where and when and how I have enjoyed my life with and without Silver. And this helps me to grab around the facts of how I want to live forward 😊.

The first day I felt propper happiness again was April 4th working withthe7th graders doing really good work (12 day’s without Silver). I can’t say I have smiled every day after the 4th but I have felt more and more positive thoughts and being creative at work or at home helps a lot and is one kind of happiness for me.

I have since I layed down Silver, been sewing so much more 😍😍. The latest was the wool coat – separat post. But it didn’t last long 😆😆 yesterday – April 30st – I started on yet a new dress.

Last weeks buds, green leaves and flowers.

And

April 28th. The tree straight ahead just sprang out during this night! The one to the right yesterday. It’s getting more and more green leaves outside my window 😊

Cat on trial… for about 3 days.’

As you know, I have been checking around to see if I could find an other cat to mine. And since Thursday April 20th we have a catboy on trial. I have been hoping since he came that they will accept each other. In total of the small steps they show signs on it. But in between they fight 😦 And my right hand is sore…

We are now on Day 2,5 And silver got his walk around 09:30am and Pusur (Garfield) was locked in at the bathroom, just because he wants to go out because he is used to be able…and if he stays he will become a indoor cat and later learning to walk in leash. Which also means I need to take measure on him to sew a harness in colors that suit him…maybe I go for a dark color because he is orange.

Here are som pictures of them…

Purus in Norwegian = Garfield in English.
Picture taken 17:24(pm)

A playful catboy (the Orange) In Norwegian he is called Purus which is Garfield.

Outdoor day in the sun with the 2nd graders and teachers, ended not good.

april 19th. Was yesterday. Outdoor day in the sun with the 2nd graders and teachers, We startes to walk from the school yard around 09:40am with a temperature on +10 degrees celsius. A 45-60min walk in the sun…, cause some walks fast and some walks slow… And I walked with the D-class (they are A-B-C-D with approxy 20 students in each class). Everyone exept me was pleased for the warm day a head of us. I did what I could to prepar for a sunny day before I left home, but I also knew the consecvenses that would apear.

Heatstroke at work… it was a fact around 11am with a temperature on +14 degrees in the shadow! getting warmer each hour. **The forest-park-walley we went to doesn’t have much of wind so it gett hot/hotter then outside the walley. The first symptoms are that I’m boiling, then dizzy, then feel feverish and feel a little cold. Because I walked with one of the students with a diagnose, when everyone were heading back home or back to the after-school-program after 4 hours, we (me and the one student) were lucky to go by car half of the way back to the School, in the car it was an other 2nd grade student with the same symptoms as me, which is sad. I always feel sad for kids because I have been there myself. It’s always harder for kids who wants to play around but gets sick of the sun.

Then a little goes by and I mostly just feel discomfort in my body for a few hours. I left work around 2pm, (temperature up on +16 degrees celsius in the shadow) and I normally work until 4:30pm on Wednesday’s. Bought an Ice-cream while waiting on the 2nd bus. Tryed to cool down a bit. On the bus home the nausea came back. Got home around 3pm. *Does not sweat like a normal person when it gets hot from the sun.

Pictures from the warm Day at Kleppeloen.

Then the real frost comes a few hours later, around 3:50pm to 5:10pm under 2 wool blankets in the couch… freeeeeeziiiiing despite the fact that my body is boiling and I would probably really have sweated if it wasn’t I don’t do that… (according to the weather app, it was +17 degrees Celsius in the shadow at 6pm.)

Managed to take a warm shower around 9pm, but instead of feel warm after as I normally do I kept freezing with a hot-boiling body. Went to bed at 11pm.

Woke up hot and nauseous 07:14am today, April 20th. Home’n’sick from work 😦 .

Took something for the nausea 8 o’clock but is still nauseas…08:40am while I started to write this… to nauseas too eat or drink my coffee 😦 The weather app says it’s already +10 degrees Celsius 9am today…. I were home and didn’t do much. But managed to go to work on Friday.

Different week, different tasks in the after-school-program.

This week has been different! I’ve been moved from working with the students in the after-school-program to do practical things just because two of my co-workers can’t handle how I do my job with the one student with Autism… They have complained and think I am afraid of conflict which I’m not but that is how they see it… My body isn’t fit to stand and walk a lot without a rest on a chair after the blod cloth I had ten years back, and my back isn’t pleased either with the tasks. But I stand in it just because I know I will not continue work here after this Summer. That’s the only thing that keeps me going right now. Sad. Yes.

An other sad part in this situation, while the boy who needs predictability because his autism, he just has to come to terms with the fact that suddenly someone else is with him… 😦

But what can I do? My leader in after-school-program think I have the qualities and are the right person because I am creative, to sort the storage and make a structure that will be easy to continue. Which is nice to hear. But just the fact that I have to do other things when my co-workers can’t deal with how I work… well I can only say I think that is the wrong way to do it.

So I have talked out loud to the Lord about this and next time I meet my House Church I’ll ask for prayers.

I’ve felt an empthiness inside me for a while and now it’s even bigger. I haven’t been liking what I do in the School since October and now this… I only go to work because I can’t afford to stop. I don’t feel joy for work anymore. The only Joy I have now, when I have enough energy, is at home when I sew…. Which is sad!

Last year, when I worked with the yought I felt “done” already in February but this year has been worse!! To not feel joy at work at all is the worsed part of all things for me! To feel empthiness every day you go to work makes it hard to smile to those you work with! It makes it hard to force yourself to go to work.

My motivation is to look for a new job and apply when I find something I know I have experience from and know I can handle. But it is always the question, will I get to an interveiw? And when I got the job, how will it be with the co-workers?

Right now, my head is “groggy” after medication from migraine few hours back. So I only write to “vent” my brain. To get rid of all my thoughts. Empty my brain. But I just want to sleep or relax cause of the side-effects from the medication… which I will do after.

To be a Christian, to believe in this situation is rough. But I know my Lord wants the best for me so I stay in my path. I also know He will open up the right door or window for the next job. He always do. That is my comfort. My believe is on the rocks and I know and have to believe that He will help me.

Silver gives me comfort in all the ways he can <3. I don’t know what I would have done without him. Therefor is he in the featured image for this blog.

Spring time, April – May 22

I start with this collage of pictures from yesterday May 1st 22. From my walk 8.15 pm, for 45 minutes 😊. A walk I needed more than normal, becauce I had a big need of air. Fresh air.

Lots of things has happend since last post 🤪, so I will do my best to remember as much as possible.

After a long not planned break with my House Church, did we finally have a House Church evening 😊. Those pictures are from the Island #bjørnøy , the sunset and the daffodils 😊. (*not planned break becauce most of covid-19.)

The last piece of my Cheesecake, pre-birthday cake.

April 27th was a sunny day with some wind and not to warm.

The day’s between April 13th and April 23rd,did we have a temperature between +13°C & +20°C. Something that doesn’t fit me… I did try my best to enjoy the 🌡 & ☀️.

Cat sitter, Easter Break , and more 22🤩

I have been & am still until tmrw “sitting” a cat from Thursday this Easter. It’s mainly letting the cat in or out of his home, make sure he has enough food and water.

Yesterday, Easter Saturday, I came to let him in and this was the first time he showed me how playful he was. We cuddle and played. 💙🐈💙.

I spend 20 minutes with him instead of 10, like the day before. 💙.

It has for sure been an interesting Easter in many ways! Not just becauce of Simba. No, I have been walking more and you would say walking is good for a sad back, not mine 🤐. My back got worse from the walking 😔🤨, yet I have explored more of the island I live on 🙂. And got massive time with the Lord on my walks.

It’s been an Easter Break where I have started a new sewing project but not have had the back I needed to finish it 😔 Yet I have had good day’s listening to preaching and the bible app 🙂. We have had mostly good Weather 🙂.

And I have to say that, even if the Easter isn’t over yet I have been enjoying this Easter! It has been a blessing so far. Just do whetever I managed to do and not stress 🙂🙂. I have been able to do my back exercise almost every day 🙂🤩🙂. And today has all been about relaxing & some regular cleaning of my home.

April 14th, Easter Break, Easter Thursday-22

What did I do? Let me think… I woke up late, around 10 am, did some exercise for my back and yes arms😊💪, had coffee & breakfast as my start of any day.

Sat in the couch (cause sad back). Wanted to sew so I did.

Carry my sewing machine from where it stand when I don’t use it to the couch table. Got all things I needed for sewing. Started by fixing the pockets in one of my 3 newest par of Jeans. Love the Jeans but isn’t a fan of tiny pockets 😡. Why have pockets at all if you can’t use them? Front pocket!

Continuing with a blouse, “red with white dots”, tryed to upcycling it. Can’t say I am totally pleased yet…

Last I picked up my pitchwork from small fabric pices that I have been sewing together to a pitchwork and my goal is to use it on th inside of my home made smaller backpacker for work. Which also was my goal to finish this Easter… That will not happend cause of my sad back 😔😔.

In the evening I went out cause I am a ” cat sitter ” meaning letting a cat in or out and make sur the cat have enough food and water.

But b4 I could do that I needed to get there, finding the house (I had been there two day’s b4 during day light) in evening light. Started by running to the bus (which only comes every 30 minutes during Holidays), catched it, got off to soon 🤪🤪🤪, walked for 7 minutes, found the house and cat. Let the 🐈 in fed it, gave it new water and I headed out.

And realizing that nxt bus would “show up” 20 min later… So instead of waiting in the chilly wind I walked back home. A 30 min walk and approxy 2,5 km. A nice walk! Picture above shows it all and the lovely sunset!

April 7th, 22, ❄🌨🌧☁️☀️…😂

My week before Easter Break is here and this is some of the things I’ve done so far. I am sew embroidery on my favorite sweater on top of stains I’ve tryed to get rid of for many tears without luck. So some upcycling and updating was needed here. Becauce I love this sweater.

I bought me my first ice cream for this year becauce of ☀️ after a morning of ❄🤪.

I sprained🤬🤬🤬 my ankel at work and walk on it with so much pain 😔😔😔. Had a good night with no pain 🙂 but after I woke up and had to walk on it the pain came back 🤬🤬🤬 so I’ve used crutches today and will do it tmrw too. Resting in the couch now. Walking as little as possible today.

….If it is slow internet or a bug here at wp today I don’t know, but slow is it….

My Easter break starts this Saturday, April 9th. And my plan is still to catch some busses and train and explore more of Rogaland county. See places I wanted to explore last time but never took the time to do.

I’m broke until Tuesday, which means I have to wait to buy something for Easter decoration & flowers outdoors next week. Which probably is smart with my sprained ankel.

…for me I never know where the Lord wants me

I have also started my job-hunt onece again…

I am looking & applying for a new job, wish to work “in the next level” from high school. The Scandinavian School system; it’s called High school when we translet it, it’s the age of 16-19 y.o. students.

What you call it I don’t know I guess it depence on where in the world you live it has different names names.

Quite the same life Easter or not. 😉

Easter is here again. What’s different? Not much. Still Corona, same weather today as it was the same date last year. ☁️⛅ windy7m/s, 🌡+11°C .

I’ve just been out for a very short walk with Silver 🐈 who didn’t like the wind either.

It’s Good Friday today and I guess most Christian go to Church normally and in this Corona pandemic you maybe go for a walk with the preaching in your ears or if you live where you can get together in a home do that. 🙂😉.

This Wednesday me and a girl friend went on a day trip to a place called Horten, it’s approxy 1,5 hour drive South from Høvik, Bærum. Coast town. Pretty small-town in Norway!

We were not lucky with the weather. It started to rain on out way in to the town but it didn’t matter us. We just wanted to do something 😉 . So we did.

Yesterday April 1st, I had a day in. Started on my mom’s Summer dress. Redesign. Mom was as highest 5″10 and I am 6″2, so you migth understand that the clothes I got after my mom they become too short or wrong proportions on me… 😆😆.

From uncut to the style I want and fits my long legs and shape.

How would you say you did Easter before the Corona pandemic?

I have to say that I don’t have had to change much. I am still singel, with friends who are married and don’t have the same time to spend with me. Before and in the pandemic. Sad yes. Biologic family still most of them in Sweden, Norwegian family still in Norway, but as I wrote, most of them with less time. Why? Well that’s life.

I live my life quite the same as before the Corona pandemic. And it’s fine!😉

Being creative when I have the body & energy 😊.

I have to say life is good even in this pandemic!! 😊😊😊 I have what I need. I am blessed with much.

I wish you all have and will have A Great Easter wherever you are in the World.

💛🐣✝️Happy Easter ✝️🐣💛

Rather to much then to less.

I have been planing to write a new blog for at least the last two or three weeks now…but I can’t decide what to tell. One week I started like this; “As we now have the Spring here most places in Norway or at least from Oslo and futher south, south-east and south-west most people wants sun and warmer day’s all the time but life and nature isn‘t like that. ”

The next thing I wanted to share was about my mom’s quote.

“Rather

to much then to less”

and it could be about clothing or food or actually whatever in life. Right now it’s about how many layers shall I have on from day to day. Just because it’s Spring doesn’t mean it’s warm all the time no, we had one week with +14-17°C and the next with +4-9°C… and next weeks forcast says it might be even-2°C 😣

Anyway…

Here is some spring picture for all of you who read this blog

Here is my catgirl on adventure in our garden.

This is from 15th of March-17.
