Empty
I skipped a post this week. Not sure if you noticed but here is the update. We were so busy. We enjoyed Kosta on Sunday and Monday we went to other glass factories. Mario saw a tea towel featuring Kalmar and wanted to go, so we did. We spent the late afternoon exploring. Although everything…

Special visitor
So excited to have a visitor from the US. Mario currently lives in New Hampshire but we met in Gig Harbor, Washington 15 years ago when I had my scandinavian shop. We hit it off and have been friends ever since. He and his husband Mark came to see me just before I found out…

Voting
Voting in Sweden was an experience. It only happens every 4 years and 3 different votes. Local, Regional, and the entire country. One votes for a party more than a person but you can also vote for a specific person in the party. Whoever the top winners and/or the party leader are the people voted…

Gravestones
Not a lot happening this week but I did manage to take a walk to folketspark which was only 7 minutes and met a friend for a picnic. I had the best falfal and hullomi there. We discussed politics as we were going to go and vote but I could not decide who I would…

I did a thing
Gustav Adolfs Torg in Malmö is an interesting place just now. They still have fruits and veggies but it has become a hub for all the political parties to hand out their information. Voting occurs every 4 years and this year is it. So political parties have set up a place where you can go…

New neighborhood
The move is over and the keys have been turned into my old landlord. I cleaned it myself and saved a little money. If there hadn’t been a showing Sunday I would have let someone else do it, but since I had to have it clean anyway, figured I may as well do it all.…

Tired
I have packed up my belongings and moved from Malmö Hyllie to Malmö Nobeltorget. It is much closer to town, about 10 minutes bicycle ride and in-between two good friends. Excited to explore this part of town. I have been around it but never explored here. It will be fun and so far has been…

I survived
Yesterday was a year since he left me. I did not think I would survive but here I am, alive and well. I have learned a great deal about myself. I have had a lot of ups and downs in between, including waking up crying from a dream about us just the other night. But…

Exploring
Got dressed up for one final night at the festival. My hair is getting long enough to pull back a bit. Definitely going to miss how easy it is to go into town from this location and already miss the summer ticket where I could go anywhere in my county for one fee for 2…
