   Schultzer: If/When you guys meet up, I'm sure it'll be news-worthy xP

Becky: *jumps into a package and crosses the Atlantic* :3

Molls: *blushes and whisks you away, along with Beckles, to Feel Good Spa* >:3

I'm glad to hear SomeGuy is in Shadow's safe hands and anticipate to hear wonderful stories from their time together!

As for me, I've been resting. Everything finally caught up with me and there was no use in fighting back any more. Not even the carpenters could prevent me from falling asleep O.o

Though something scary happened a couple of days ago. My joints will sometimes click - sort of like if they've been out of place and snaps back. After years of the clicking I've gotten used to it. Recently my hips/lower back have begun doing this. Annoying but meh. At least until my left hip dislocated and refused to correct itself. Which happened because I'd been sitting crouched up on the sofa and then got up to go downstairs, only to crumble back onto the sofa again.

It's impossible to describe the immense pain/discomfort/franticness that struck. I slid down from the sofa to the floor, hoping that an old trick of laying on my back would solve things (it'll usually help the joint get back into position). First off: getting down on the floor made it hurt even more - Second: it didn't work - Third: I was unable to get anywhere.

Didn't matter how I moved, pain was blasted through my hip and leg. Imagine a very sharp cramp that won't go away. Boy was panic setting in hard after only a minute or so. To make matters worse I was running low on energy from being extremely hungry. Mom rushed downstairs to get me something to eat while my pathetic self tried desperately to get into a sitting-up position.

Some 10 minutes later I sort of sat up. Yet another couple of minutes passed during my stubborn attempts to get off the floor. It's hard to tell how long it took me to stand up and even then I could only put weight on one leg IF I stood absolutely still. Once that got old I began my silly walk.

Basically it involved me swinging carefully around on my still operational left foot (there's a scene in "Breakfast Club" where they do a little dance on the railing, hands in their pockets and moving only their feet - that's kinda what it looked like... only with one foot), grabbing onto whatever came withing my reach so's I could pull myself forward.

Ended up in my bed. Eventually fell asleep. Woke up in the morning. Still in pain. Fell back asleep. Woke up again and felt a series of clicking in my lower back. The hip had snapped back into place *heavy sigh* Still hurt but I could move about. Another couple of days with stiffness. Today's the first day I feel fine. /The End.


On James's last day here I forced him to pose with me for some really cheesy photos including signs I whipped up that morning. - Boy did my sillyness strike down hard! - My initial plan was to show them off in the photo booth at the train station buuuuuuuut the booth either shrunk dramastically since the last time I was in it ooooooor I really have no sense of space.... Hehehe.

Luckily there were two young guys waiting to use the booth after us and one of them agreed to snap some photos of us with my camera, haha. Poor James ;p

I should probably upload them, huh? Yeah. Will look into that >__>

Love the Lex. Lex is the best :3

Schultzer: We've blasted off some great laughs XP

Cheshy: It's pretty cool yeah, so long as he keeps his cool and puts up with my random bouts of blondeness >.>

Molly: The punch has been delivered ;D

Ichi-Boo: I honestly thought you were trying to pull my leg and had a hearty giggle but then dictionary.com told me otherwise. As did SomeGuy. Oh well :p

---

I need to get more friends locally 'cause I suck at being a host *anime tears*

It didn't even dawn on me just how drained I am until the day SomeGuy got here and my 10th yawn within an hour or something. Not only is my energy level sucked dry beforehand but the weather's been sucky. The one small plan I had kinda depended on there being no rain. Bummer. Also, all of a sudden there wasn't a whole lot to do with the house. He did get to help out a bit, though.

Then the closet tried to kill him. I feel bad about that. Even if it was out of my control. The closet will be punished for assaulting such an awesome guy, mark my words. After that we steered him clear of chores.

The only thing going for me is my cooking. James will not leave Sweden starved! .... Imagine the review: "Overall the experience sucked balls but the food was nice!"

*stops ragging on herself* If he comes back again I shall make sure he gets his moneys worth. Fo Sho!

   For some reason my brain thought James would be here by Sunday. Which he isn't. It's actually Saturday. Good thing he reminded me XD;

Apart from 5 tiles which either cracked or (as was the case of one of them) simply came off its hinges, so to speak, THE FLOOR IS TILED. Yes. ALL of it. It has also been gunked. (Hopefully James can tell me what the proper word for that stuff is.) *dies*

The spare room should/will be ready for James when he arrives. Though we haven't had a chance to wallpaper it *ashamed* But he'll have a bed! And other stuff too. Like food. And me. :p

I'm le tired. So here are the picatoors I probably promised yesterday >.> Then and Now.

I know I shouldn't be buying more plushies .....



But it was soooooooooo soft! Mimmi do like to pet, snuggle and cuddle. Mimmi no have Man Flesh and solaces in fuzzy plushies. Also speak funny when feeling cutesy.

Schultzers: That's cool ^_^ You're a professional fisher, so to speak!

Some James Guy: XD I figured you'd get a kick out of it. *looks forward to message* :D


PS: I, uh, uploaded photos in the wrong order so the house tour goes counter clockwise unless you go to the last picture and work your way backwards. Which is why I won't give you a link yet!

If anyone interested in seeing a "slide show" on the progress of my room - hopefully in the right order this time ¬¬ - I could try to get one up today?

   Photos will come.... but not today >.>

* We live on land owned by ants. It doesn't matter that the sun's scorching enough to sizzle their tiny bodies into ash the instant it hits them, no, they still march around the grounds.

* I'm not only chubby, but now I'm chubby and swollen. That's what I get from working practically non-stop for weeks on end. Not muscles (though my strength is up .... whenever I'm not exhausted to the brink of doom, that is) but swollenness! Anyone got any spare chakra over for me? :p

* My computer refuses to recognize my old keyboard - wireless - so I've had to steal back my old one and re-learn where the keys are. This one's much more compressed. And has a chord.

* The Terrific Tiling Duo joined forces today, tiling all of the entrace hallway. Though the experience left dad feeling (and occassionally acting) miserable. It looks alright and when the gunk's thrown in there it'll look better, so I'm not too concerned about it. We can always smash it to bits later on and re-do it anyway -.~

* Now that a lot of stuff's been put into their right places it's dawning on me that the house is fairly big. Or not big. Spacious. Even in our old house you had the feeling that it was a bit cramped. Feels slightly weird to have such a luxurious house to live in ^_^;

* I always forget about my quirky quirks/habits whenever I think about writing them down. 'Tis frustrating! But amusing never the less.

* I've hit my head too many times to count these past 2 weeks. It's a wonder it's not the size of a moon by now.

EDIT: * The cd we've listened to all throughout the build has been Tom Petty's "Highway Companion".

Slick: Indeed. Indeed. I still can't believe you're gonna be here so soon! My spoiling gears are all set to go, though >:-P

Da Scultz: Fishing! :o I hope you caught plenty of fish! Do you release them or eat them, or what? *curious*

Ichigo: But you did touch on it and I will expand on it before this post is over!

Becky-lou-who: (I bet you'd look gorgeous as a Who from the Grinch universe!!! Hrm. <.<) I've missed you so badly ;__; It's great to have access to internet and be able to keep in touch with you and your stories *smooches*

---

So. Unless I rearranged my post during editing Ichigo is mystified as to why I was happy about getting my period. Since my level of bluntness has risen I shall not refrain from delving into the subject matter :p

Imagine you live on the 3/4th floor of an apartment complex. Your apartment is stuffed with everything you could fit into it... and then some. Yet another floor up you've got a rather big attic storage, packed with the stuff you couldn't fit in the apartment. It'll take every bit of power you possess to get it all moved to a house that still isn't finished. On top of this you've already excerted yourself by working to the breaking point for a couple of weeks/months.

Ok, we've got that little scene laid out. Now we're going way back, way way back, to when dinosau---- um, whatever >.>


I got my first period when I was a couple of months shy of 11. It didn't seem such big of a deal at first, I knew what it was all about and how it worked, bla bla bla. Mom had already gone through this with my two older sisters so there was no awkward situations, other than actually telling her I'd gotten my period.

It took me so many years to get over the feeling of embarassment that always occured whenever I had to let someone know it had started. Now it's no problem to go "PERIOD! GAH! GRR!" .... though not always with the same gusto XP

So anyway. Everything was fine for a couple of hours. Then came the P.A.I.N. Oh the pain. I broke out in a fever and was wide awake while, at the same time, dreaming. It was so freaky being absolutely aware of my surroundings and simultanesouly having a very vivid dream going on O.o*

Any excitement went out the window pretty quickly after that.

I was in terrible pain for several days (some of those were spent rendered completely immobilzed in bed due to immense cramps) every time my period came around. The bleeding was horrendous. Mom had to take me to the doctor to get a special pill that reduced it and even then I still managed to bleed through periodically (LAWL).

Most of my problems were, thankfully, eradicated when I got on The Pill. Less to no bleeding. My skin cleared up massively. Dunno if it had any effect on my mood, haha.

The best part was definitely reduced pain. Instead of being randomly hit by waves of pain I got it all wrapped up and delivered on Day Two of my period. While it would've been great to be rid of all the pain I'm grateful for knowing what's going to go down and being able to prepare myself/others for it.

Thusly, my reasons for not complaining about the arrival of menstruation are:

~ I tend to be prone to cranky/irritable/pissy moods during or prior to my period. This is not a good combination with a big move with tempers flaring.

~ Day Two incapacitates me. A big move requires big effort. 'Nuff said :p

~ I won't have to think or worry about it when SomeGuy comes over!

~ Once it comes, it goes pretty quickly. And then there is a gloriously long gap before it comes back again! Whoooooo!


There you have it. Whether or not you wanted to have it. My periodic inhibition loosens further. Yes, such a bad pun! I know. Feel free to pat me on the head and think I'm cute :p

Of course if you were thinking about the dream then I can inform you that nothing naughty went down. Well, you were cheeky and temptuous. But in an almost innocent way ... plus I was the one dreaming the dream and I'm such a lamb, so yeah *giggles sweetly*


In closing the internet is mindnumbinly slow for some inane reason (inane because I can't work it out, d'oh) whee for being able fix stuff without being a technical wiz* and I can't bother spell checking this post _^_

*Basically I just moved the router so the wires weren't put under any strain. Guess they were glitchin' or something.

   Guess who's back?

Wednesday - May 30

THE BIG MOVE. Aka First night in the House.

We had two carpenters help us with the heavy loads. If they hadn't been there for the first two loads ... I dunno if anyone would've survived >.> They majorly impressed everyone *applauds them*

Freezing cold outside and inside during the night.

No fridge/freezer. We had some power, coming in from a big cable through dad's window.

The upstairs bathroom unfinished. Not fun venturing down the stairs in the middle of the night when it's cold and you're not really awake. No one got hurt.

I slept with 3 duvets on me. After shivering uncontrollably for about 5 minutes I felt less cold.

---

Thursday - May 31

ARGH! No nourishment-shake meant I was completely devoid of energy and strength to help out with much.

Mom and Eleine cleaned up the apartment. Dad and I finished up the attic + basement storage. Juliette made dinner for everyone, which was welcomed by all.

When we came back to the house that evening we found the upstairs bathroom operational! 1 of the fridges was also working!

It was slightly warmer this day. Only needed 2 duvets.

At the end of the day I was weary, cranky, but it changed the second I (after some much determined digging in boxes) found my nourishment drinks!

---

Friday - June 1

Ichigo, Batou and Chigo visited me in my dreams during the night. They cheered me up significantly ^___^

Carpenters knocked off early due to persistant rain. Poor mom had to bike around in it all day =(

Electricity guys came by to fix us some real power (and switch us from the one we've bummed off since the start of the build) but it turned tricky since our house electrician wasn't finished .... Called dad and got the number to the guy, passed it onto the electricity guys and washed my hands of the situation.

Put down some more tiles in the living room. Also sorted out the kitchen a bit.

No tv, computer or music left a lot of time for working.

We don't have any skirting boards laid out yet so furnishing the rooms is put on hold. No use placing them permanently if they're not gonna stay there permanently :p

Mom and I fled the house electrician (he's an annoying bastard on a good day, imagine his impact on a pissy day) by bumming a ride from Eleine to her apartment (which she shares with Juliette). We cooked dinner, had some coffee, watched tv.

When it came time to go home we were all powered up _^_

10-ish in the evening we had electricity! Stove, over hooked up! HOT WATER!

Fridges and freezers all operational! YES!

Got my period! Yay! (I was happy it didn't strike in the middle of the move, haha.)

---

Saturday - June 2

Slept in, until 11 in the morning. Dreamt that Sara danced happily XD

Bought stuff at a building store with dad. Had to play GPS since he was so tired/out of it. Kinda fun. Not him being worn out but the GPS thing.

Put down some more tiles. PMS emo over the results.

Dad fixed some framing around the door in my room.

Dishwasher plugged in!

Sorted my closet out slightly and could clear up some more space.

INCREDIBLY tired. Rested for an hour or so around 6 in the evening.

Tidied up in the upstairs living room and down in the kitchen.

End of day.

PS: I'm getting warm and fuzzy feelings from wandering around the house now.

---

Sunday - June 3

Not very eventful day. Rested a lot, puttered about with things in the house.

---

Monday - June 4

Made the first meal in the house! Meatballs + potatoes and gravy :3 Premiere dinner check!

Rested even more. (You'll notice that me resting is kind of frequent, yet it's not enough to cure me of my pains. Possibly because it's only for a few hours - if that - that I lay down.)

Resisted urge to put down more tiles.

Put together the very last IKEA flat pack.

Spent some time at the sisters, watching Naruto on the computer and "The Dog Whisperer" on tv.

---

Tuesday - June 5

Mom helped me assemble my bed frame. RESTED after having tried to install a cupboard in the utility room.

Put down a big batch of tiles in the living room. Was pleased about results.

Mooched on over to the sisters again. Juliette gave me an Inner Sakura figurine/mobile phone accessory XD!!!!

Wrestled with a table sink in the utility room with dad late in the evening. Probably took us 2 ½ hours to get it done. Phew.

---

Wednesday - June 6

Me and the Dad tiled the living room (it's not that big of a space but MAN does it require a lot of tiling!). It went well.

HOT outside. Looks like summer's here.

Prepped some more wood that's going onto the house and painted some of it.

We've got tv again. Watched Myth Busters :D

Didn't do much else today. Napped between 2-6... ish.

No carpenters meant it was quiet.

---

Thursday - June 7

Hot day again.

Slothed in front of the telly after having put down the gunk that goes in between the tiles and then washing off the excess - all by myself. HARD WORK!!!! I don't think my legs will ever swell down if I keep this up :-/

Electric guy worked on getting us cable between 8 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. (Minus an hourlong lunch.)

Dad's off on a class trip.

No carpenters today.

---

Friday - June 8

H.O.T.!. 30 degrees Celsius. At least.

Woke up when the carpenters arrived at 7 AM. Nearly died from exhaustion just by sitting at the kitchen table. It's been a long time since I felt so fatigued after waking up. Mom was nice enough to serve me breakfast.

Went directly to the sofa upstairs and snoozed until 10.30 when the sisters arrived to help us clear up the front yard. Eleine had dressed up like a true blonde (ie she wasn't wearing clothes that were suited for heavy work. it looked more like she was going to sunbathe at a pool or something XD).

It was hot, sweaty work but not too heavy.

Once we were done we headed off to a super market, cooled off inside while shopping, then zoomed on over to the sisters' apartment.

Dad showed up just as they had finished cooking/bbq-ing dinner and we all sat at the kitchen table. Family dinners can be nice :p

I downloaded Naruto and watched it with Juliette. It can be kinda annoying to watch it with her since she's reading the manga - thus being farther ahead - which leads her to make comments that hint at knowing something tragic/whatever about a character or event. So while she isn't spoiling me per say, she's .... being annoying -/-

Went home. Cleared up some more. At a sandwich and chilled.

---

TODAY

Woke up at 7, went back to sleep, woke up again at 11.30, had breakfast, and then proceeded to help dad shift the junk from our clearing up to the recycling station.

After that we bought more tiles (XD) and shopped around for a washing machine.

Mom slipped off to IKEA with a work mate. Bought me a nice throw for my bed ^_^

Dad bought a washing machine later on and installed it. We can now wash clothes in our own home! Wheeee!

For the first time ever we managed to install intornet within a couple of seconds, without fiddling or tearing a single hair out O___O

And now that I've gotten you all up to speed (and have sped around the upstairs floor being chased by a yucky insect) I shall head on out to the local cinema and catch "Oceans 13".


I'm baaaaaaaaaack! :3

   I'll see you in my dreams

I might have intornet soon! :o Then again, pondering previous predictions pertaining progress of the house .... I might not.

My sisters are taking care of my computer for me while I work diligently at getting whatever done that can be getting done by me ... As if my Swedish wasn't already going down the drain, now my English is starting to look [even more] slipperish.

Speaking of English, I'm not even gonna try to polish up mine for when SomeGuy is due over. Hopefully he'll find the horrible slur endearing. Though I'll try my hardest to make sure the Guestroom is available/liveable for when he arrives!

Ack, my body is so incredibly sore and bruised but it'll be worth it all in the end. It's worth it already so imagine how much the interest will have risen by then... Ok, lame. Forgive me! You don't need to hear me whine any more >.>

I've been writing down small notes for each day to remind me of what's happened so when the internet is set up at the house I shall pounce online and get journaling again, to the delight/horror of you all. There'll be pictures, too!! Old and new. Lots of them. Maybe even organized! Oh, the suspense is boring me to sleep :p

I love ya'll dearly and muchly! Please feel free to continue visiting me in my dreams. I'm enjoying your company immensely ~_^

   Keep on running

Mah back is slowly getting better due to not working too hard (which annoys me more than having a sore back!) and rubbing on lotion packed with anti-inflammatory goodies in it. You need a glove on when applying the stuff or your hand'll go numb, that's how effective it is!

We're doing the BIG MOVE tomorrow. That'll be interesting, to put it mildly.

I've no idea when we'll have internet. I dunno how much electricity we'll have (O_O). I doubt we'll have much heat for a while, outside of what the sun will provide us with. But I do know it'll all stretch us even thinner. Unlike dad, though, I'll continue to hold it together!

So in lieu of my even more pressing absence I'll log into AIM, put up an away message, go to bed and let you guys chat at me throughout tonight :p

If it weren't for an ass-early start tomorrow, packed with heavy-duty work, I'd totally stay up to keep you company >____>

I LOVE YOU ALL!

   PAIN. Pulled my back today. AH! Just.... pain. Or, well, more pain. Off to bed.

---

Ichigo: Bad boy. BAD! You're supposed to dissuade me, not give my already corrupted brain more ammo. I bet that, between you and the brain, it's only gonna get worse from here on in *_*

NocturnalClivya: Haha, you don't have to worry about visiting every day. Swing by if and when you can/want to =)

Schultz: Will do! ;) I hope things go smoothly with things on your end too *hugs*

   Our house, in the middle of the street (except not)

I might have to stop listening to the podcast[s]. Otherwise Ichigo might become a steady staple of my dreams. Not that I'm complaining but why molest sexually harass (I'M KIDDING HERE!) have your brain taunt you over a guy in your dreams when it's already impossible to hook up with the available ones you meet in your awake state? Yeah. Bad brain. Bad bad brain. (Moving right along! Forget you ever read this bit!)

On another note, a slightly more deadly serious one (don't kill me for my bad puns!), it looks like we'll be moving in either during the weekend or very shortly after. Like, on Monday :p

Internet connection is still a question mark but I suppose we'll just see what happens after whenever my last post made from the apartment is up. If I can remember to put one up.... P:

Insanely slobbery lobins to Sexy Lexy!
Go give her some of your love too :3

Comments on comments from May 15th

Panda: EEeeEEeeeeee! *glomps madly* Even though my body's completely wrecked from tiling, I'd gladly tile anything you asked me to. I just love ya that much ;D

MC: Now that the stuff that's supposed to go in between the tiles has been slushed out it looks even better! But washing off the left-over gunk was EVIL work. Yes, EVIL!

Molly: Haha, I'm jealous of myself for getting to meet him XD And hopefully dad won't swamp him with too much house work....

Slick: Word 8-3 Though it's probably a good thing I didn't start to properly work on it until the last stretch. Something tells me I'd be pretty dead by now, otherwise >.>;

NocturnalClivya: Wallpapering scares me but painting is loads fun *nods* Thank you so much for your Guestbook entry, by the way! I promise to get back to you whenever there's energy and time left over ^_^;

Shaow: Mwuahahahahahaha, indeed ~_^ And that's one sweet deal you're offering! Hugs + plushies = the best chair the house can offer!

Foxy Becksy: I died laughing twice from reading that comment *snuggles wildly* It hit the spot right when I needed it _^_


Comments on comments from yesterday

Schultz: You would've made for an awesome delivery guy/driver, I'm sure of it! People building houses/decorating them sure needs their delivery guys/drivers *nod nod*

Sarah: Me? Work too hard? Nuuuuuuh ..... >___________________>

Shabamalamarama: Very true. Which is probably why we push ourselves too the max, eh? *smiles and hugs* And the nerves haven't kicked in yet but maybe tomorrow when a smaller batch of boxes will be shifted in :O!

Becky: You got it! ....*sudden realization* I haven't been showing much of the progress lately, have I? XD Between working and taking pictures of everything it's sort of slipped my mind, lol.
