waiting, wishing, hoping / moving on and forwards.

Thursday.

I came 10 min in time!
Luck was on my side today with the whole bus-situation.

There are two possible buses that I can take, the first make me come well in time and the second brings me there with just a few minuits before nine.

And today I headed out for the first...not compleatly sure I'd make it. (It should be said that I live about 3-4 min away from the bus-stop and I can't see it from my apartment.) But I wasn't so stressed out cause I could still take the second and be fairly on time.

And there I was walking, watching my clock, seeing that I should have missed it by now, not worrying about it and when I was 50 meters away from the stop I saw it comming (again) and thought..
"Ah wth..if I just had run alittle I would have made it!" and then
"Wth, why not run now? whats the worst thing that's gonna happen, I'll miss it, "again"? I was already fine with it." So I charged ahead, not really believing it would still be there when I arrived, but luckily an older man had some errand with the bus driver so the bus was there still standing!
I couldn't believe the luck! Good start of the day!
(This might seam like small potatoes, but Im usually not a person with flow, so it was memorable for me.)

Otherwise it was a pretty good day.
half of the day there was a seminar about heath and diet.

- What to eat and how much of it, when to eat and what and how much of it and...
- How important excercising is, what happens if you do it, what happens if you don't.
- How important rest and sleep is, for everything and especially rebuilding of muscles when you excercise.
- Fashion diets are bad for you. Forget about GI and thank me later.
- Carbs is very necessary for the energylevel. You should eat 25% of your daily diet in breakfast, 30% in lunch, 20% in dinner and the rest, 25% should be 3 inbetween snacks. between breakfast and lunch, around 10am, "pm-snack" around 3pm and night-snack around 8pm and then it should be somehting very light. like an apple. NO EATING BEFORE SLEEPING! that only causes your enerylevel to rise and you'll get sleeping problems.
- how to excercise to burn fat. what fat to eat to burn bad-fat, hard fat (omega fat is good for ya).
- how to excercise to increase condition ; the heart's ability to pump blood into the system.

well all and all, very usefull info that I sort of had heard already. But it was a nice refreshing.

After that there was a 45 min "relaxation period". We lay on a little carpet with a blanket over us, listening to a tape telling us to breath slowly and deeply, tensing different body parts and then relax them. It was very soothing. After a while I was so drowsy from that calm voice I driften confusingly in and out of sleep not really keepin count on wich body part it was. and then it was over and we listened to just some music instead and I lay there inbetween a state of awake and alseep and dreamt weird things, waking up when I realized that the familiar words wasnt in my dream but came from the song and was in spanish.

Then other half of the day I filled in a long form on the homepage and sent an application to Ica Maxi stormarknad, a food store chain. It's something atleast.

After that I went home to mums, played alittle piano, cuddled with rudi, helped her with shopping, bought delicious "tuna in mousse"cat food can for rudi and ate with mum, helena and tjåken.

Then we biked off to celebrate granddad on his 73rd birthday. It was nice, very appatizing snacks. Mainly elder people there though. But it was nice.
The highpoint of the evening was when one of the men, after some time of chatting with Tjåken and mum about this and that, asked if he knew this "Tjåken" personally...hahaha
(tjåken is well known figure in many cultural circles in västerås, since he is a fotographer and is in many circumstances and unions. Sort of a mysterious fellow, but appreciated. "An original")

Helena and I also got a little fancy box each of Birgitta. Mine was a heart berlock with a (I think) 1700-century motif on the front (half naked ladies sitting in a forest).

After that I was invited by a neighbour to them, an 80 year old lady, to see the paintings she had made. A lot of aquarelle, kind of interesting. "Inspirations, imaginative" paintings. I got one with pink flowers that now is on my kitchen wall.

Tomorrow it's only half day at the jobcenter and then I have to get home to meet a guy that's gonna take a look at the laundry machine. Maybe he can fix it. :)
Now its time to clean up here alittle and get to bed.
My days have been alot more busy this week. Its stimulating and I need the rest.
I'm sure gonna appreciate the extra hours in the weekend in my bed hehehe...

Btw..I love my Iphone. Such a clever little thing. It has it all, allmost. Internet, phone, ipod, mails, messages, weather, calendar, maps, facebook, skype, spotify, really good cam, diary, my dear pictures and last but not least the fun finger piano. And all very accessable and easy peasy. Very Very Nice.
