Summer break 2025. Adventure. Part 5 of 7 days

Thursday July 24th.

You know the feeling when you really want to sleep in long and just can’t. That’s how this holiday in Gothenburg has been so far 😆😆. Normally I can sleep longer but then I also managed to be up late 😆. But when you have activities almost all day long you actually get tired early.

It’s the fourth day with my best friend Annica in Gothenburg. New things to explore. Today we went to Mölndals Kvarnby  – the mill village of Mölndal.

I was about to melt away when we walked up the slopes to Mölndals Kvarnby. Farthest up the hill was a secondhand shop. My friend Annica wanted to go in so I joined her. Oh, luck it was 😊, because inside I found a blouse that was perfectly thin for this heat!

The blouse from 2ndhand

Here I have it on, on the way towards Oslo 😉


While we were waiting on the tram into Gothenburg center again we changed our plans from Church Safari to just go to one store and head back to the hotel. One of the reasons was my sad back and thirty minutes later the sudden rain 😆😆.

The good thing with the rain was at least one thing. I got to use my rain jacket when the sky suddenly opened up.

Some thunderstorm today too. But still warm enough to not get cold.

After a cup of coffee when we got back to the hotel (around4 pm), and a power-nap for both me and my friend Annica we had late dinner. And went for a walk in the neighbourhood to the hotel. Here are those photos 😉.

We have had a wonderful holiday here in Gothenburg! We have taken the day’s as they came with exploring in the hot weather 🥵. Done the most out of it as it fit us. We are pleased and tomorrow is departing day.

Hope you enjoy reading about what we have done and that you will get some tips on what to do if you choose to go to Gothenburg!

Lay back straight down into the ground 🥴, January 17th. Part 2 of 2.

I slept good/okay on my stomache most the time. Some painkiller b4 bedtime, normal painkillers. Woke up around 7.30am. Managed both get out of my bed and go to the bathroom with not so much pain 🙂. I also managed to find a position in the couch that wasn’t to painful.

I woke up to even more snow today.

1.25pm was my GP apointment in Stavanger. But long b4 that I had my coffee and breakfast, played jigsaw on my laptop and just tryed to relax as much as possible. I txted my friend who hlpd me the day b4. “I would appreciate if you could drive me to my apointment in Stavanger.” Which she did 💜😊.

So, my apointment was 1:25pm, we were there early because of the weather. And it was lots of people a head of me in the que-system. I finally got in to my GP 1:55pm. My GP, checked my spine, lower back and gave me some strong painkillers I could pick up later at the pharmacy and a urgent referral to an X-ray at SUS (Stavanger University Hospital).

My friend, also drove me to the Stavanger University Hospital (SUS).

Hungry. Bought something.

I were to hungry to drop that and b4 I checked the referral, so I found some fastfood to buy & eat while I walked the corridor towards the X-ray. I read the referral and figured I had an urgent referral from my GP 😊😊 so it only took my approxy ten – fifteen minutes from arriving to taking the x-ray pictures 😊.

But then I had to wait in the verdict. And because of my pain I gave myself some time in a couch b4 I asked the girl in the X-ray reception. So around 4pm I got the news, “nothing is broken” 🙏✝️. Thank you Lord for embrasing me & my body!

Snowy weather, traffic chaos, slippery roads, delayed busses, big risk to end up in the ditch for people driving to fast or is taking bigger risks.

I wanted to try and catch a bus, from the hospital, even if I knew it would be a “painful and bumpy ride” for my back. I left the hospital 4:11pm, the bus arrived late but 4:24pm got to Sandnes 4:52pm. Had enough time to drop by a grocery store b4 nxt bus & heading home. And the opportunity to walk a bit 😊😊 and losen up the back. It was more slippety then I had expected yet walked a bit around at the bushub 🙂.

Home 5:30pm.

And the rest of the evening I spent in the couch 🙂.

What make you smile?

What or whom make you smile so much you just can’t stop?

BiRthDaY? Love? Work? Baking? The guy/girl? Cake? Spring? Skiing? Beach? Childhood? Summer? Friendship? Books? Drive? Drums? Songs? Worships? Flowers? Pets? Family? The sky? Being creative?

I am curious on what makes you Smile! Please tell me.

For me it can be a nice message in social media ora phonecall from a friend I haven’t talked to for a while. It can be to be creative or the buds in the trees. It can be at work, my cat, a seson. I smiles quite often just becauce I have things that makes me HaPPy.

I am so Thankful for my life. What the Lord is giving me no matter if it’s a challenge or just a regular day.

I really want to know what makes you Smile!!!

Happy Easter to all of You!!!

To understand who I am and what I want.

I am surpriced over the fact that some of you who are following my blog, works in the tourism. I can’t help thinking “why my blog?” But than I think well, I can only hope you get inspired from whatever I share.

Torggata, Oslo, Norway.

My Summer Break, is probably quite “normal” anyone elses who can’t travel outside their own country.

I spend my day’s around my home mostly becauce I have a cat and no licence or a car. And it’s okay. I am lucky to have friends who also is home during the Summer.

Late breakfast mostly just on Saturday’s.

Saturday’s task is to do my janitor job. Wash the floor in a chapell on about 120 ish squaremeters and offcourse clean the toilets.

Janitor job.

When I am done I need to go and shop some necessary washing accessories such as green soap for washing floors and disposable folders.

And than, I can do whatever I want to do at home. If the rain stops, my sweet cute indoorcat can go for a walk. The Daily walk for him.

Silver. A indoorcat who loves to go for a walk.

I might read. Continuing to finish the book I started on in…May (!) I will probably be on snapchat, msg and watch streamed TV. If the rain stops I might go for a walk or just stay indoors.

I need to remember to eat. A struggling I have had since I was 11 years old. Yes, as many other girls I have had some type of anirexia. Something few people and friends has not seen. I have had it under control since 2002, but I still struggling. It’s a daily reminding to eat. To eat propper. To eat regulary.

With my body most people tell me “if I was as thin as you I would be lucky “. Yea maybe. But it has been coming with a price I don’t want for anyone!

A price through bullying and self-hunger issues. No one shall or should go through this path!!

My strenght has the last 18 years been my own motivation to stop the shit. To workout and keep me fit in a good way. This combination has also a price. A price of “never” falling inlove, to “find the one man” for me.

Something my biological family doesn’t understand. “Why haven’t you been able to get married yet?”, “you are old enough to been able to have your own family by now”.

Well it is a combination of love or dislike yourself.

And why??? Is it so, that just becauce I am a Christian women, I automatic want my own family, my own kids? Why??

We do live in 2020! Not every girl or women want their own kids. I don’t. I am happy for you who do, and wish the best of luck. But don’t forse me to have something I don’t want.

I had to use some years on my self. To understand who I am and what I want in life. One of those things has been, I don’t want my own kids. An other thing has been to find the right type of job. A third and forth thing is good eating habbits & to afford the gym. To get healthy and love life again. And maybe be able to fall inlove with a man that has something of what I want in life.

Time with a friend.

To share life with a friend once in a while. To grab a coffee or a cup of tea. Take time – make time.

My challenge this year is to be more social with friends after work. I have not had that kind of energy before and I am doing my best to force myself to more social after work. How can I do that?

Today Tuesday I woke up one hour earlier than normal and I’ve been tired all day and I said to myself that “it’s better to go and grab a coffee with my friend and stay at home and fall a sleep in the 🛋”

I went, and I am happy I did!

To share time, life, thoughts and things we Christians experince is both encourging and good to do. To listen to the other person. To just be in the situation.

To talk with the Lord and ask for what I wish for in life after the meeting was also something we talked about over the ☕. And I reminded myself to do that. And asked to be reminded about it every day. Becauce it doesn’t matter where we talk or when as long as we do it! ✝️

To take time is to care for the other person.

Good News 🤩🤩🤩

God has given me lots of patience over the last 8 years!

In 2011 I had to stop working because of a accident where I was working (kindergarten). I had a bad felt backwards with my back to the ground, the “forest floor”. I hurt my back badly.
I could not work for about 2 years. 😢
In 2013, February had I mine knee surgery. I had to learn to walk from scrach. Had rehab for 11month!
In September 2014, I started a coures to further educate me within Office and administration. I had a desire to use the knowledge I carried with me in this profession. Despite having two years of practice i this profession, I never got into a job…☹️
In August 2016, was the year I started to have internship/work-experience. The first lasted a year and led to another internship in a Hotel(in back office) which didn’t lead anywhere but it led to an other internship (also office). Forth time of internship, which is the one I have had until today the 28th of February.
And tomorrow 1 of March I start working, first time in 8 years!!

Woop woop. 🤩🤩🤩

I have worked hard and tried to find a Job I thought was in the right field but God showed me what He wanted for me last May (2018).
Most people and friends I know, don’t understand how I could live in this situation/ have this life. I only trusted my heavenly Father to lead my steps.
I have asked myself “what do I want to work with?” Many times in life and the answer has always ended in “I want to work with youth”.
Now I will. 💖
From internship at the School (college) to job 😊 at the same School.

To be there for a friend.

Yesterday was a sad day for one of my girl friends.

She lost a family member… She called me right after she got he sad news and I just said, come over to me. You should not be alone. She came and we just were. We talked a bit, watch the television and she slept over. I just couldn’t let her be alone the first night. And I feel so sorry for her lost. I am sad in my heart for her and her family’s lost. And however she feels when she is back in Oslo, I will be there for her. She will need the support and friendship just more to get through the heavy part and be going, do the daily things feel the meaning and be loved.

The lost.

Emptiness.

How important it is to stay close with friends when you live in an other country then your family has been more and more important for me. And especially when a family member dies and you can’t be there when it happens. That just so much more important.

To be there for each other.

Support.

Make sure that your friend feel safety. Let whatever feelings to be okay. Take them in even if you don’t feel you have enough food, space or however you feel.

The friend needs you.

And i realized that I am so thankful for closest the friends I have here in Oslo that has become my family. That whenever my mom will not be a part of this world anymore, I know I have friends that will be there for me as I were there just now.

Family is not just the biologic ones. Family is those you have around you. The friends that support you whenever you need it. Family can be your Church, your closest friends, bonus siblings etc. Take care of them!
