I can’t believe it’s already Friday? Where has the week gone? Anyway, nothing super exciting to report. On Monday a colleague from the US brought me my coveted pumpkin pie filling. I missed it at Thanksgiving last year and you can’t buy canned pumpkin in Sweden. (I tried using a real pumpkin once but it was WAY too much work!) Right, so this US colleague was planning to come to Sweden for the week and asked me to help her with various administrative tasks. I’ve helped her in the past so I thought, why not ask her to bring the pie filling? After asking her I spoke with a colleague here in Sweden with whom she was planning to meet. It was then that I found out who she was. Turns out this person, who brought me pie filling, is the daughter of the former president of a Central American country. (He was president in the 80s and is now high up in the UN.) I certainly wasn’t expecting that! But she was really nice and even brought me three cans!
We still don’t have phone, TV, or internet; however, Telia was supposed to send a technician over this morning so hopefully the phone will be working when I get home today. Maybe we’ll even get the TV and Internet working by next week? That would be great…
Sometimes I do weird things in my sleep. My mom told me that once when I was little I got out of bed, went downstairs to where my parents were watching TV, turned the TV off and sat on the couch (all in my sleep!) Then one time in college I woke up to find my bed quilt balled up and placed in my laundry basket and then put in the closet. I vaguely remembered putting it there when I woke up in the morning. Well, last night I achieved new levels of sleep-weirdness. I woke-up in the middle of the night and rolled over to look at my clock. Only the clock wasn’t there! I sleepily looked around and realized that my head was at the wrong end of the bed! My head, and pillow mind you, were at the foot of my bed and my feet were down by the alarm clock! I certainly wasn’t lying that way when I went to bed! I have no idea how I ended up like that! Weird, weird, weird!
