Tag: Fun to learn something new

Easter 2023, not how I thought it would be.

I got cold at work Wednesday the 29th of March and I had sore throat and fever Friday 31st of March. Gaaa. Fever at work is never fun! But I did work. That Friday evening didn’t I have any energy in my body. I was laying flat in the couch the whole weekend. On Monday 3rd of April I had one appointment in Sandnes – to pick up my new spectacles (glasses), so I took paracetamol and headed in to Sandnes and did that only thing, headed home an hour later and that were what I “had” energy to.

The red par is my normal glasses and then I got a par of glasses for computer or sewing as I use them for.

With new glasses at home and the trip outdoors, the day after I had more fever…Gaaa. Not what I wanted but just reality. I have been in the couch all day’s since Monday. Only had some extra energy the last two evenings where I have trying to understand a dress-pattern.

And when I thought I understood it, I went on next step – drawing up.

Got company of Silver, who doesn’t understand that I am doing other things on the floor then gonna be with him <3. I have got so far that my next step is to sew it all together, but not yet. To less energy and to much pain in the body :-((((

This dress, if that’s what it actually ends up as, is my very first try to sew a dress after a pattern! And if I manage I will use this pattern to many more and get good on this before I try an other pattern. My goal is to concer this task. I do want to be able to just buy fabric I like and then sew a dress that fits my body. And if you wonder, I am between sizes S and M in most exept the length. Everything in Small is to short on the length but fits good or perfect in my waist. My hips are “to wide” for a Medium and yes too short in the legs.

This is my length on this dress, look at the bottom of this dresslength – the last 10cm is my addition.

An other thing I had energy to do yesterday (Friday 7th of April) was to give my seeds new soil and divide the little flowers I sowed as seeds two weeks ago.

My only goal today (8th of April) is to force myself to the grocery store (the only day here i Norway the stores are open during Easter) and buy paracetamol for my headache before 4pm. Which I managed – Happy and free from pain after 6pm. And from that (no pain) I got energy to put into my dress-project.

It actually looks like a dress.

Tomorrow I will try it on and see how tight I will sew it and where to put a zipper, which I haven’t figured out yet…

Blazer, pretty look and high heels.

New season. New job. New clothing. New colleges.   I have started my new trainee-job at Radisson Nydalen in north Oslo. So far have I had “one week” it was actually only two half day’s with information. This last week was the proper week with learning some of my tasks for the rest of my time here. Except for the part that this week is the first week I needed new clothing. For me that meant a new wardrobe well at least one part of only office clothes. I can wear dark blue or black Jeans or nice pants, the blazer shall also be blue or black and I need high heels when I walk in and out from back-office. If you’d asked me ten years ago that wasn’t me. Luckily both I and my work has changed.

I enjoy this work so far. It’s not just a job for me. It is in the environment I like. I hope this can lead to a proper job.

Since I started the course in office and administration two years ago, my dream was to work in Radisson Hotel. Which apartment I did not know and which hotel did not matter either back than. Now, after a year in the reception I know that is not me or where I can do my best. It was okay for what it was but to use my knowledge and learn even more in an office is where I get satisfied.

This feels right.
