I have just put a child to sleep. My child. She is so beautiful, lying there in the light from the lava lamp. The light goes up and it goes down as the wax gathers at the bottom of the bottle covering the lamp. She turns this way, she turns that way, she checks if I am there and then finally, she is really asleep and I can leave. Do I really have to leave? Can’t I just sleep there, right next to the princess? Well, I have another princess to take care of to night. Good night!
Giving bloods makes me feel good, but I did feel fatigued and aggravated during the cycle home. I recruited Johanna today and got an extra 50:- as a thanks. T was running around the place between me leaving blood and J in the testing room for the newcomers. Nobody seemed to mind my little critter running around and being cute.
Me and T had planned to visit the icebreaker Frej today (after a great tip from Jalle) but unfortunately the two last yours were sold out so we were only allowed to view the 4 icebreakers from the outside. Instead T and I hid from the rain down in the harbour and did some creative drawing, on the ground and other creative places 🙂 Tovah even found out that she could draw and stones and in places where I couldn’t reach.
After that Tovah got a small burger and an ice cream and we headed for the blood central, then Kvantum and then here I am.
I must admit that I feel good.
By the way, T woke me up at 5.30 this morning and after tossing for 30 minutes I got up and showered. Then J came and pulled me back into bed and we slept until 0900. I am really glad she did!! When I awake that early, it seems like all problems get ten times bigger and I get queasy feelings in my stomach and my chest and I cannot sleep. Later when I get up at an reasonable time the problems are all gone, well they are still there, I just don’t care anymore 🙂

Personal Problem&Solution for my own notes only.
Today my PC audio on Blipp got distorted and mic-in vanished. Many BSODs and much testing showed turned out that the driver for the USB pccard reader is not very correct. Uninstalling the driver and drive solved the problem. It was the violet LexarMedia reader with dual drives. The drive itself worked with the driver.

I haven’t been blogging much the last two days and the reason is that I have been working, working and working. I woke up full of energy today and got to work immediately. After a great lunch of chili marinated grilled chicken and curry rice I got a bit tired and headed out for a 10KM cycle ride. This was my first training ride since the accident and it just felt great. When I got home I felt pumped up (though physically tired). By the way, Tovah joined me, at least half the way as she fell asleep. She usually does when riding the bike cart in the afternoon.
During the morning I created an exam for SMD151 so students, now you can begin to crack into my account and read all the questions.
I get to do what I want to do and just have to do some minor “boss bullshit”. I worked longer than I had planned today but now I am finished and I am going to eat some supper and then dig into my photo collection.
Anyhow, just wanted to say that I feel great 🙂

We had a nice afternoon with Jalle and Ida. We ate 8.5 rolls of sushi and then we played EBay and Chee’z Dork. EBay was really fun but Chee’z Dork was so so. I am disappointed in you, Steve Jackson!
Tovah found a new game, throwing sand around and of course most of it ended up in her hair. Check out the cloud and pebbles.
We threw them out around 19.30, Tovah took a bath (because of all the sand) and she ended up washing her hair twice in a day. She hates washing her hair.
After she fell asleep J and I dove into our analog photo collection and starting matching up missing negatives and sorting the rest a bit. I have started putting captions on the first set.
Good night everybody!
Welcome oh wonderful world.
It is now Sunday afternoon I have have managed to not work this weekend. That is something new for me and something I will try to maintain. We woke up around 08.30 and I started the day by reading “Pablo, the penguin that always froze” with Tovah. Continued the day with some photo handling. The first roll is now scanned and I will caption it later. The second roll is currently being scanned. Some great photos from 1993.
I feel good for two reasons,
1) Johanna said yesterday that she I going to give notice on her other apartment.
2) I today realized that I have found the hobby I have been missing for so long. Handling my photos. I enjoy this very much and I feel it being an investment for the future. It will be great to be able to view the old photos when I am getting old as well as Tovah will enjoy it when she gets older.
Jalle and Ida are back in town. They came during the night and I of course immediately invited them for dinner today. They will arrive in 50 minutes and they will get sushi – the Parnes way. I enjoy their company very much and I have to admit that I have missed them both during the last weeks. Actually I haven’t met Ida since midsummer.
By the way. I have to explain the subject. Tovah cannot pronounce “s” inside words and this becomes rather funny when she is trying to say “fuskar” (Swedish for cheating) and it becomes “fuckar” which loosely means fucks 🙂 She says “Ja, det låter spännande!” as response to almost everything we are going to do (Swedish for Yes, that sounds exciting).
Catch you all later and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
