Have I ever been this cold? I think not.

April 13, 2017

Is it possible to lose feeling in your lungs? When I think back to my halcyon days of just yesterday when I was in Los Angeles and it was almost 80 degrees and I literally complained about summer coming too soon because my style is better suited to layers of winter clothing, it feels almost quaint.

The good news is that we are in Sweden and we made it to the apartment in Stockholm without getting lost and accidentally ending up in Norway or Denmark, so already we are successful. What I could not have imagined is the AIR which is so cold I believe I have frozen my internal organs from breathing it in.

Even if I had remembered my fluffy coat bought specifically for this very adventure, I do not know that it would help. Probably I need something warmer than shaggy fleece to survive here. For example, I could use a coat made out of a queen-size duvet and lined with actual kittens (live kitttens, I AM NOT A MONSTER)  because cats are tiny heated fur blankets. Or maybe one of those silver foil looking things they use to wrap you in at the spa.

But we have wine, which we packed in our suitcase and brought with us from California because 1) I have been to many Scandinavian places in my lifetime and none of them sell wine in the grocery store or at night in a convenient place like 7-11 and 2) a $20 bottle of wine would cost approximately seventy-nine thousand dollars here so I came prepared.

And we have wifi and lots of socks, because it appears that I forgot I had already packed socks and so I packed double, how is that for some last-minute preparation, and we have each other. Oh! And our matching hats. Because we are THOSE people.

(I have always wanted to be one of those people.)

Today: Travel day, lots of airplane snacks, started knitting hat version #3 because I am in a perfectionist death spiral.

Starting to take some of the improvements from the guest room and add them to my bedroom, like this cool power outlet for the bedside table. I’m hoping it helps with the constant problem of needing to charge all devices simultaneously.


Still obsessing over Sew Over It and Lisa Comfort, the lady boss behind it all. Here is her site, YouTube vlog, and Insta. I bought pretty much every pattern they have during the recent 30% off sale.


Currently reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I need this book to help me but I don’t have enough time to read this book because I’m working nonstop, so…


Interested in these silica gel packets for my yarn stash. Does anyone out there add these to ziplock baggies of yarn?

Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.

Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.

Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.
