Busses are Running shuttle traffic outside the house this week. I started waking up earlier, but I've been staying up later too. It's a bit problematic. The Train tracks are being renovated on a six station stretch, of which mine is the second to last, so instead of commuter trains it's now a commuter bus + train. It's comfortable, and it's nice with different and more dynamic scenery, but it's also an additional twenty minutes in each direction, which means I've spent at least an extra 3 hours on route to work and back just this week. This will be going on until early August, so I'm happy I won't be here most of that time. Vacation's running up with giant leaps! Too soon! Too soon! All these tasks, can I do them in June? Or will I have to leave them, to in the future resume? I weave through the evening with soothening tunes.
I ate a pizza with a buddy this week, at Birkastan Karlberg, and after that a pitcher of ginger, lemon and melon sorbet. 3/4ths of the pizza would've been just right, and half the sorbet, but I shant complain: it was a good trip. Another day I helped my sister carry a carpet to her new apartment, and take a tour of the one room, plus kitchen, bathroom, hall and room-for-one balcony. It's a nice place. Other days I've been moving Money, trying to place my Savings in the places with the best saving rates, which is no easy task with world economy as it currently is. Most bigger banks offer 0% interest on your savings here, though there are a few with 0,50% on unbound savings, and upto 1,50% on bound ones. Also rates as high as 10% if you feel like gambling a bit and possibly losing your money entirely, and don't need that money in a bunch of years. But I am no gambler.
Apart from such things it's been work, movies and projects taking up my time. Same old same old. I've been listening to a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers too - their newest album is out and it's awesome. I'm glad to see they're back at it again, and still the same as ever, funky and melodic, with cryptic lyrics that take a few listens before they start to make sense.
I cleaned the house too. Thoroughly. Chased out the dust rats that have been gathering the past 2-3 weeks and made it all sparkle. Got rid of that occasional sneeze and hazy gloom when the sunlight sprinkles through the window glass. It took a day, but was well worth the work! I'm eating canned mackerel, watermelon, smoothies, batches of strange pasta, bowls of berries and mixed beans this week, good foods. I ate some old Capers earlier this week, and didn't feel too well after that, but apparently capers never go old so that must've been something else. They're almost as resilient as soy sauce thanks to the encapsulating Brine (as is pretty much anything encapsulated in brine, apparently). On the topic of food, my neighbors started making dinner one evening, and for some reason the whole upper floor smelled like airplane fuel. Grills. You know what I'm sizzling?
My sister popped in this Weekend for a quick visit too. Life's been good, and spare time interweaves with fierce work catching up on tasks that are to be completed before vacation reaches, both at work and at homework. It's always too soon, and yet I've been looking forward to this all winter! It's the same thing each year; I should be better prepared. But summer's here. I'm getting as much sun as I can without sacrificing too much work time, and apart from a rainy weekend in which I finally managed that grim house-cleaning session the weather's been great. Occasionally cloudy, but great. Warm and windy.
On the blog I've posted 12 movie reviews, a couple double musicalish, about a book excerpt, and here's last week. Also: here's a thing. Until next time, have a good one!
