The mess.

A substantial mess has been made in the new apartment. One can hardly move around, without slamming a toe against a tool box, or tripping over a bag full of clothes or something similar. The emphasis are "boxes". I've gotten rid off a few today. I went home straight after the meeting I attend weekly for PhD-students on long-term sickleave. Very informative and good meeting, but I was tired before, and even more tired afterwards. I forced myself downtown to buy a gift for Elisabet's graduation party.

As the rule is - when looking for a gift for someone else, I always find plenty of things for myself. I saw this skirt I've been looking at several times wanting to buy, but I have thought 400 SEK is a bit steep for a skirt, but today it was down to 149, so I bought it straight away. And as a bonus, I found this lovely white shirt to wear with the skirt, and nice panty hose. At least now I know what to wear for the two graduation events I will attend this week. But still no gifts. But I have some ideas for the gift, and I will follow at least one of them through tomorrow.

I decided to reward myself with an ice-cream while in town, since I had gone to that PhD-student-sick-leave-meeting-thingy. I really didn't feel like it this morning, but I went. I have been tired all day. And after half that meeting, I could feel my eyes just wanting to close, and how I more and more felt that "I don't care about the social rules, I will fall asleep during this 4-people-meeting, I need to sleep". And when I sat having my rewarding ice-cream later, I could feel my posture surrender, and just wanting to lie down on the Big Square cobble stone - right there and then. I forced myself up from the bench, and walked over to the bus stop. There was no way for me to bike my bike back home - no way. The bus came, I walked the last few 100 meters home, and finally was able to lie down.

Sweet relief.
