midnight horror
I screamed out loud last night.
I woke up having somebody leaning over me and talking, that is something that just never happens so I screamed and waved my hands, until I started recognizing the shape above me and realized that it was my husband, who was clearly offended by my screams and fear.
Come on, it was in the middle of the night and I was sleeping!
It turned out that he was merely asking me how I felt and if I was planning on staying at home today, as I told him last night that I was feeling sick.
Guess I wasn't too nice when I told him that
I don't know yet, and then looked at the time to see that it was 2.20 (my version) or possibly 3.40 (his version).
Either way, it was way too early for me to think about whether I should go to school or not.
I don't know about you, but I'm normally not thinking that much when I'm sleeping.

For those of you who have been kind enough to e-mail me:
I am not neglecting you.
I am not refusing to answer your e-mail.
I just can't.
I've been having problems with my e-mail account for days (linked to the transfer of host that also affected my blog), first I could neither receive or send, now I can get my e-mails but I can't send any. I'm working on the problem with help from Cristina, and hopefully it will be up and running again... soon!
testing transfer of host
here we go again!

il arrivo dei cigni
Apparently the swans haven't heard the news about our non-existing spring; they are coming anyway. I saw the first homecoming swans in the sky today and the very first thought that sprang to mind was "oh no! The bird flu is here!"
Normally the first thought when the birds get back is "Yes, finally it's spring for real!"
But it isn't spring for real. I guess Mr. Winter heard my complaints about the melting dog poo, so he decided to cover it back up again. Yes, that's right. It's been snowing again for a couple of days. Is that depressing or what?!
This morning I listened to an old Italian song from the CD-collection
Lenti Italiani Anni 60-70-80 of which the title felt very appropriate:
Loretta Goggi's
Maledetta Primavera. This sure is a maledetta primavera!
On a lighter note, check
this out. Wouldn't you just
love staying there? :)
Mom and I are going to Stockholm on Saturday on
HARMONI-expo; an 'alternative' trade fair with lots of new age stuff, psychics, seances, card readers, everything. Wonderful. We went last year and among other things I took an aura photo and got an "intuitive reading" of it - and it was so right on spot that I just couldn't believe it. It will be so much fun to do it again! So much in my life has changed since last spring, so it should be interesting to hear what they have to say this time.
I hope I don't get sick though, I have felt feverish all day. I guess it's only natural to catch a cold when the weather is so horrible that you get cold and wet just by looking out the window.
Well, as long as it's not bird flu I'll be fine.

It's been two chilly-to-the-bones days of drizzle and snow and melting snow and WATER everywhere. The temperature's been just around 0, and I almost prefer when it's colder but dry than when it's -1 to +2 and wet wet wet. There are just no clothes that can keep you warm when the humidity is that high.
Rain this time of year is good though because it melts the snow.
With melting snow comes melting dog feces.
Given that we have had snow non-stop for the last 4 months, that means that we have 4 months worth of frozen dogshit that is now coming to show.
At least we have enough daylight now to see it so stepping in it can hopefully be avoided.
I made a practical long hair updo exam today, on a live model. The first thing the girl said when she sat down was
you're not gonna use hairspray are you? Because I am allergic! Well.. let me just say it like this: It is pretty much impossible to make a classical updo without hairspray. What the heck was she expecting? She
knew that I was going to make an updo on her.
She also said
oh, but I didn't bring any hair bands... well honey you came to a school for hairdressers, trust me, we have all the equipment. For that matter, we don't use hair bands for updo's. So there.
But I don't know. I don't think she 'had all her horses at home' as we would say in Swedish. When I used a curling iron she looked scared and wanted me to assure her that the curls would not be permanent.
She kept telling me for 1½ hours straight that she wouldn't dare walking around with her hair looking "like this" and it would be extremely embarrassing if her boyfriend saw her with a fab updo (my words, certainly not hers), because he would laugh at her?!
Gee, thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for making me feel that I am really making you beautiful. It feels really good and heartwarming to know that you think this 'do that I'm putting my whole soul into is
embarrassing. Just so you know it, I did my best but it's kinda hard to make you beautiful.
And before you go, try to shower every once in a while.
You stink.
For the record, I passed the exam.
Next time I will choose another model though.
