67. Draining days

It’s only Monday, but I feel like I work too much. Not just this week, but in general. Work, work, work.

And then when I come home it’s walk, walk, walk. I have to, in order to meet my daily step count goal.  Which is only 10 000 steps,  so not unattainable, but still requires some work.

Today I drove to the tube, spent the day at work, had lunch in a meeting, then tube and car home. Do you know how few steps that makes?! Just over 4 000! So I’ve been out walking tonight again… 

The only good thing about this is that I tend to sleep well. Good night! 😴💤

2013 has arrived

Happy New Year!

We’ve spent the last 10 days on the Swedish island Gotland, and we’re here for a few more. Both Christmas and New Year’s were thus quite relaxed and low-key, as we had no one to go, or come, visit.

Only A, myself and my parents were here for New Year’s Eve so it was a nice relaxing dinner where we struggled to stay awake until midnight… We made it though! And then we headed straight to bed and all slept until almost 10 am. Crazy. That never happens!

Yesterday we went for a walk for some much needed exercise, and to check out the new year here in Fårösund. When we arrived on December 23rd we had to spend a good 30 mins shovelling snow away from the driveway in strong winds and -5 C temperatures – hard to believe when you see the pictures I took yesterday, eh? Quite dark and dreary. We’ve seen lots of rain after Christmas. I hate rain.

My hopes and wishes for 2013 is that all goes well in the preparations for our wedding, that I pass my course (work related) with flying colours, and that we perhaps can start a family. Preferrably in larger accommodations… If all those were to come true, 2013 really would be the year “it all will happen”. Here’s hoping!

What are your hopes and dreams for 2013? I sure hope they all come true!
