The Dishwasher saga

So in March, I discovered that a rubber packing of some kind, was loose. After some consideration, and googling, I decided that the economically wise thing to do was to replace the dishwasher since it is 8 years old, and if I repair it, something else will break down in 6 months or so (I […]

Counting down the days

It is December 17th, and I am counting down the days to Thursday for two reasons. On Thursday I start my christmas break.  I don’t have to be back until January 7th. Sadly, it isn’t a paid vacation. (This year. If everything goes as planned, I should have paid vacations in 2019. Though considering how […]

It is hot

It is really, really hot right now (which it has been since May). And it is predicted to remain hot for the rest of July.  I am  hoping for rain. Lots of it, but I am at the same time  dreading when it starts to rain again, since it is so dry that I am […]

Hi Summer!

I think I am turning this into a monthly thing, since that seems to be how often I blog. Which is better than last year. But I have spare time now.  At least until I buy an apartment and has to, you know, move.. But let’s not think about that now.   May has been… […]

*collapses in a heap*

It is May 29th ( how did that happen?!).  Today is the first day in over two months that I am home, without any plan of leaving in the next 24 hours.  It is a nice feeling.   Mum’s care doesn’t rely on me, and it wont again for a long time.  That said, I don’t want […]

So that was April

It is May 1st and I am trying to figure out where April went. It feels as if it was yesterday when we were celebrating mum’s birthday. /A bit stressful, since I got back from London 2 hours before.) Which was when mum first complained about weird aches in her leg. The leg pain escalated […]

Lacy hazelnut and chocolate chip cookies

A couple of years ago, I got Roy Fares’ United Cakes of America for Christmas. I baked the cookie recipe a couple of times, it was delicious  but… it required 225 g of butter, which was way too fat for me (and since swedish butter is sold in 500 g packages, it means that you […]

Pasta w shrimp and tomato sauce

All the shopping

I don’t spend a lot of money, but today… I blew through the budget and some. First I replaced my dying cell phone ( though I am paying it in installments, thank god) by buying the latest version, after debating wheter or not to buy this one or last year’s model since the price difference […]
