Happy New Years!

Now listen up all you youngsters, keep it down tonight, I'm in no mood for you to have fun!

Our New Years will be celebrated with oven baked pancake, and then white chocolate mousse for desert, fallowed by falling asleep on the couch by 21.00. woohoo.

Nils is sick and I hurt so there will be no festivities for us this year, and to be honest, I'm perfectly fine with that. In fact, I'm so fine with that I'm going to post a picture of a frog.

Love,
Mango Kitty

crippled

Miss Mango hurts. A lot. As if it isn't bad enough that my therapist has pneumonia and has been sick for 4 weeks and wont be back until after new years, my fibromyalgia has come a roaring in basically crippling me. I cant get up from the couch or a chair without my vikings help. I feel like a complete invalid and have been fighting with my non present (they're all on Christmas vacation) doctors trying to get some more medication. They promised a Dr. would call me next week. I swear if they don't the will suffer the wrath of a cripple swinging a frozen fish. why a frozen fish you may ask? because it would hurt.

The cats however, are living the good life of having two couches.
it allows them to be in the same room relaxing without having to really interact with each other, which is perfect. New feramon treatment is on it's way!

Merry Christmas!

God Jul!

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Ammi's yesterday and in addition to playing Santa for my mom, we got some really great gifts!









The pendant sais "God grant me the serenity... to acccept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdome to know the difference". And the bracelet says "Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words And never stops at all"

All in all we had a wonderful Christmas here in Sweden, Even if all of the snow magically disappeared right before it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Channukah everyone!!!

Cookie Madness!

Behold Mango Kitty's Cookie factory!!!
me and my neighbor made cookies for everyone in our building! Why you may ask? Because we are awesome.

The cats, as usual, were not helpful at all. Mostly they slept, I suspect it is because they are cats. But also because it was SO warm in our apartment that they didn't feel like getting into trouble.

I called the vet about them today, she was also not helpful. She said if it continues it will not be good to keep them together but we are NOT giving up on Indi because we love her too much and Mi-Go loves her too much to just give up. new feramon treatment is on it's way, we'll have to hope it works.

Happy Channukah!!!

Happy Channukah to all I love and to those I've yet to meet and may love in the future!!!!

I realized that during the move our menorah got packed in some box, and I have NO IDEA where it is. So i present to you , my homemade menorah, made from and egg carton, tinfoil, a pill bottle cap, and tea candles, held together with hot glue. Am I brilliant or what? It may not follow all the official rules for a menorah, but it's the thought that counts in my opinion.

Latkes tonight, ginger bread men tomorrow!

p.s. we have snow!

Julkrans

I'm proud to present my julkrans (wreath) for the 2011 holiday season. With some creative hanging I'd say our front door is looking rather lovely.

On Christmas I will NOT be partying with the rest of Sweden. (In Sweden, Christmas is celebrated on Christmas Eve and everyone parties on Christmas Day) I will, in fact, be baking Christmas cookies with my neighbor :)

We're still having cat issues, and their getting worse. Today Mi-Go was just standing in the kitchen and Indi came up and bit him on his side. No physical damage done but the point is clear, she does not want him to be around. I really don't know how to solve this, I'm planning on ringing the vet on monday to see if she has any more advice on what to do. I'm afraid she'll actually hurt him one of these times, and then we'll have to separate them. Do they make baby gates for cats? I think not. ::sigh:: I don't know how to solve this and I HATE not knowing how to solve this. Hopefully the vet will have some good advice. Anyone out there is cyberland know how to make a cat stop being a bitch? (I know... I couldn't even write it without laughing)

cookies

Today I baked cookies. Because that's what you do when you get a new oven, you bake cookies.

I've also been doing crazy work on my "Bra Bok" Filling it full of pictures of loved ones, song lyrics, cut outs from old DBT papers, and other general "feel good" "stay sane" stuff. I'll be keeping it in my bag so when I'm in stressful situations like on the buss or waiting for an appointment I can pull it out and calm down a bit.

Never did find that cell phone charger, but I found one that connects to the computer instead of the wall outlet so I officialy have a mobil again. It's crazy how dependent I've become on my phone, I remember when I was so excited because I got my own chorded phone in my room. That was big news back then. Oh how times have a changed.

I have tomorrow off. We'll see how much cleaning is involved in my day, I'm guessing not so much.

CAKE OR DEATH!

Oven Joy!

Today we got our new (free) oven! To celebrate we made pumpkin pie. mmmmm pumpkin piiiiiiie!
Sometimes I'm very very happy we rent.

In other news, I lost the charger for my cell phone, so the best way to get a hold of me is the home phone, gmail, or facebook till I figure out where it's been hiding.

fire hair

Here's a bit more accurate picture of the "fire blond". Roots, very very blond, ends really rather fire like. I must say this was not my intention but I rather like it.

It's actually rather strange being home after being "supervised" for 39 days. We had only lived in this apartment for a month before I went in, so now I have to re-relearn all the sounds and such of the apartment.

Also, my contact people on the ward would be very happy to know that I have done NO CLEANING sense I got home. There were very strict instructions that I was not to clean the first few days, that I was to sit on my couches, cuddle with the cats, and talk to Nils. So far I think I've done a pretty good job with that, though the cats are still trying to pretend they aren't happy I'm home :)

Blond???

So i needed a chage to spark my recovery, this is the result! Now I am discharged, and my  Viking is making me dinner :)  Life is looking up for Miss Mango :)

Love,
Mango Kitty
