New running shoes

Drog till Valbo köpcenter idag och besökte löplabbet. Helt klart värt resan dit! Fick mina fötter inspekterade och sedan filmades dem när jag sprang på löpband i ett par neutrala skor. Det var ju lätt att se sedan på replay att jag överpronerar (vilket jag redan funderat ut), och den vänliga kvinnan som hjälpte mig hittade perfekta skor på en gång. Fick provspringa igen och nu liknade det mera en rät linje. Köpte ett par Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 för 1400 kronor. Jag rekommenderar Löplabbet till folk som letar skor till löpning eller walking.

Went to Valbo shopping mall today and visited Löplabbet. Totally worth the trip. They took a look on my feet, put me into some "neutral" shoes and let me walk and run on their threadmill. While i did so, they recorded it and after some minute the pressed on replay to analyze my technique. They went to get a pair of sheos they thought would fit me, and amazingly enough they did. I ran again and this time when we pressed replay, i was runnign much better with my feet. So i bought a pair of Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 for 1400 SEK. I reccomend Löplabbet for people who want to try out new walking/running shoes.

Today

Today i drove the sofa+armchairs and some mattresses to the recycling area. My apartment feels atleast three times bigegr with all this furniture gone. I used to use an armchair when sitting at my comptuer and since it is gone now, i use the sofa table to sit on. Yeah, very unconfortable. :(

Took a trip to Trönö yesterday and went thru some more stuff that was mine. Threw away a whole lot of crap, but saved some toys in a big box that i will give away to the asylum seeking kids living on my yard. Got a couple of dolls, games, puzzles, books, etc. My dad gave me 10k SEK, so i will try get a trip down to Valbo in some day, and buy shoes and other things i can find useful.

This evening the dog i have been lookign after for a week has been picked up. As a thank you i got Beyoncés perfume Heat. I think i have been waiting for it to come to sweden since may :P Awesome.

I think i will buy a new pair of running shoes. Maybe get a haircut. And modernise my whole wardrobe. Buy a few books and more boxes to pack in. Some dark chocolate with orange crisp. New ID would be useful too. And new school material. And canvas to paint on, plusmore acrylics. Pref. white and black. And more.

Cake

When my dad moved to Karlskrona, some ten years ago or so, he decided to rent the house out. Now he has sold the house to the family who was renting it, and that means we had to go there and get all our old things out of there. I was there yesterday sorting out some of the thigns that were mien and my older brother's. I was a bit surprised and relieved that i didn't have as much things i could have. Most of the things i brought with me to moms place when dad and mom got divorced. The things i found that was mine, i decided to either take with me home or store at my grandparents old barn.
I also saved an old photograph from moms and dads wedding. I wasn't born when they got married but my big bro is on this picture.

Massa gamla leksaker


Today mom and i went to second hand and looked for books from the 30's-60's. We found none and went to the grocery store to buy stuff to make a cake instead. Little bro Jesper liked it too.

Good fall season

True blood already started this season, and tomorrow we can also see the season premier of Mad Men! After that, all shows i follow will start rolling on nicely :D This fall i will enjoy these:

Weeds, Fringe, Destination Truth, Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, House, NCIS, Glee, Cougar Town, Desperate Housewives, Heartland and probably even more!


And no i don't follow Dexter or Supernatural. The more people tell me to, the less likely i am to actually give them a try.

Guests and Games

Got Sofie and Björn over as guests yesterday. Had some chocolate and lemonade whilst getting ready to play an old game . When we were younger we used to love this game. Plot is that rich Aunt Agatha has passed away and her former employees are vying to inherit her money. You play the employees and try kill the rest off to get the money to yourself.

Food poisoning

Yesterday my mom took me out for dinner at our favorite pizzeria. I had a Hawaii salad. It has crab, shrimps, yummy vegetables etc in it. Today when i woke up i did not feel very well.
Had a very upset stomach and it was coming out both ways.. nice :( And what a perfect timing this is. I need to do some packing and sort out some papers. I guess i will just take it easy and rest all day. Maybe do some easy cleaning and packing only. It is nice to throw away stuff you don't need. Kind of limiting the total sum of things you owe.

Good, good, good!

Got in a good mood when i came home and had mail saying i was approved for student aid this fall. So nice that it is approved! And since i will become a student again, i don't have to pay back on the loaned money i got some year back for studies. So good that can wait. It has been almost impossible to pay all bills plus paying back on the loan, whilst living on minimum living wage.

  • Gave notice to the landlord? Check!
  • Canceled the broadband? Check!
  • Canceled the electricity? Check!
  • Bought boxes to pack in? Check!
  • Fixed transportation of furniture ? Check!
  • applied and approved for student loan? Check!!

Church hunting

Spent yesterday with some sightseeing around the area together with mom, trying to find a suitable church for my mom's wedding. The church we originally wanted is closed from fall to spring, and since the wedding would be in October we had to find a second option. Today we went to Söderala to have a look at the church. Unfortunately we couldn't look inside cos it was locked, but the church is cute from the outside.

We think this is gonna be the one :)

Packing

It is time to slowly start cleaning out my apartment and pack all stuff into boxes. Also have to decide what things to bring to Linköping when i move. It's kinda sad i can't bring everything. Saddest thing is that Bitchen can't come with me.

Packning suger

It is starting to look messy with my things all over the place. Hopefully it will start to clear out soon.
