Aipio

Well, it has long since bloomed, but...

It occured to me I had not written here in a while. Stupid not to do so while I do not have better things to do, I know, but still, here I am.

Sure enough, the sorting of the material from Ajvide was finished soon enough - Tuesday, actually. I enjoyed several of the games that GAME had created, but stayed at home Wednesday evening instead of... err, getting drooled at.
I have now finished both the shitagi, with the exception of two irritating half-centimeter seams that I refuse to do anything about for a while. Friday was spent celebrating graduating students and, like Thursday, chatting away with PandaPanda. Wolf was at home, very nice. Saturday he took the early ferry and I took the one in the afternoon - very nice. Met Gairniaut and lady on the ferry, then watched some "Last Samurai" - it really is very, very good.
Meeting crazypants at the central station was great. I was so happy to see both of the trolls! They lived in a very nice apartment, and I slept very well that night. We watched "Tonari no Totoro" the next day and isn't that just about the most wonderful and cute movie... I met up with Rob in the afternoon, very nice! We had a great time, chatting, catching up and eating dinner at an Indian restaurant. Then we watched the hot air balloons sail over the city... straight into a rain-and-lightning-storm... Also, we got caught in said storm. Now I'm super-keen on Kastaria next year again! Going to miss my magician though.

Monday I spent money. Bad thing. But, many good things were had! At the "Japanese Market" place on Tegnérgatan... it was like a slice of Japan. I was so happy,　うれしかったよ。Bought and enjoyed cold green tea, Calpis and red bean candy. Among other things. Ahem.
After a good day, a rather drab evening was had - we couldn't use a fire for wolf's birthday party, so we went home to his brother's place instead.
Tuesday? Oh, dears, Tuesday I didn't get breakfast until around 2 pm. Now, for those who know me... well, for you others, let me just say this - it be BAD, severely very bloody effing bad. Or, at least if I wake up around 9.30 am. Well, the grandmother got all lively and glad once we got to the park where we were going, and she talked about old times, we had tea, coffee and biscuits, and also saw the stone where her long dead husband once carved their initials. And put flowers there.
Then I got to flee the scene for a while, for which I was IMMENSELY grateful. Thanks. In the end, I played a game of Go with Malk, which was terribly educating, and also got certain things explained to me about the game. The three of us took a walk in the park nearby after that, and had lots of fun stalking around in the bushes. And then things got a bit hairy with night traffic and all, but I managed with some help from the trolls.

Last day in Stockholm was spent in museums and walking. Me and the trolls visited the East-asian museum, not a super experience but great nonetheless, and free. Then we walked to the Ethnographic museum, which was situated surprisingly far away, but it was interesting and we had a nice experience in the teahouse killing off our feet by sitting in seiza for too long. In the end, a nice day. Malk showed me where The Dragon's Lair was, and then I met up with wolf for the bus to the ferry. A certain icky character behaved like a bloody stalker, but I fucking dodged it expertly and then finished it all off - PERFECT KILL. Coming home was nice, I suppose, but I wouldn't have minded being in Gothenburg. I though I was going to be working today, but apparently I wasn't needed anyway.

Yesterday, then, me and wolf did good stuff and celebrated his cousin's birthday, and today he's been working and I, well, sewing, cleaning, washing up the dishes, doing stuff...
Apparently father had been to the emergency hospital, too - pains in the heart. It just won't work like it's supposed to, is it? I'm starting to worry now. Wasn't this supposed to be a routine thing, and over in a couple of months? Idiot doctors. Can't trust them worth shit.


Good things, such as me finding a calligraphy set and being able to keep sewing, and also being able to conjure dinner has happened, and I'm thankful for shortcuts that are good (such as buying waraji from eBay!), my wolf and what few friends I call friends. I could need some help with inspiration to practice, and to avoid getting stuck in front of the computer, and also, becoming a bit more good at Go.
