Trim and measure


Mr Igor trimmed my hair and helped me measure in for the first time in years: Around 152 cm or 59,8 inches.

Monday 13 July 2020

So whats up with Igor?

I had a long moment of self pity over how incredibly screwed everything is because of the Corona virus. I felt genuinely sorry for myself, even though my work is essential, stable and continues as planned, even though my school continues as planned (Just might be online again this autumn like it was this spring) and even though no one I know has gotten sick.

I still have no idea when I will hear something new about my surgery. Still postponed, that's all I know. By now I really just want to get it over with. I'll make another video once I do.

Strangely, I find the Buffdudes road to recovery playlist very useful even though it's a planned surgery versus an accident. If I plan for it correctly and take my recovery process seriously, everything will be well eventually.


Anyways. We don't dare to count on travelling anywhere any time soon, especially since we have two different nationalities and there are a lot of differences in what different nationalities can do in which countries, and it seems to change on a daily basis.
We can't even really go anywhere here in Sweden because they banned you from travelling over two hours away from where you live (And no, we have absolutely no clue how they think they can check, calculate and judge that either).
Even local summer events has been drastically reduced.

To do something useful with our time, mr Igor signed up for an advanced programming course and I picked up another work #2 since old work #2 went under in the Corona crisis.

I might have overdone it though. Good thing we have a planned trip to Læsø in week 38 and 39 coming up. I need something pleasant to look forward to.
This is what my calendar looks like now:

      

Colour codes
Light blue: Work #1
Dark blue: Work #2
Orange: Things I do voluntarily, but isn't really fun
Red: Fun stuff
Yellow: School

But what can I do for fun this summer?
What is there to do for dopamine and seratonin?
Of course there is always food and snacks, but that's a pretty bad strategy.

Then I thought of one of my favorite things in this world: Christmas calendars. Which I have posted about on this blog way too much.

But surely, there will be no Christmas calendars left over on the market in July.
Would there?


The answer might not surprise you.
Since, obviously yes, otherwise I wouldn't have made a post about it.

On a site called parfumdreams, I found three different ones and I bought them all.
Verveine Advent Calendar by L'Occitane
For Her Advent Calendar by Alcina
Xmas Advent Calendar by Alessandro

Except for the L'Occitane calendar, I've never heard of the brands before.
But hey, this is a little bit of fun every day, that doesn't involve calories or leaving the safety of my home for unnecessary trips. I'm going to open one on the 1st to the 24th for the next three months.
