I have been “afk” for a while and part of the reason is that because the internet connection out here in the forest is pretty unstable and sometimes it will let me open websites, sometimes it won’t. It can be frustrating! But I haven’t really been sitting around in “soft pants” (Stermy calls comfortable pants you wear at home “soft pants” and in Sweden they’re called mjukisbyxor) playing UT CTF pickups all day every day… most days only!

This is what’s outside the door! I told you i’m in the woods!

Yesterday I got the news that I can move into an apartment on the 2nd or 3rd of April.. so next week, yeaah! Although it’s good news, I can’t help but think about all the things that come with moving. After just moving a month ago I can picture all the building of furniture and other crap that comes with it which we did just a short year ago. Bleh!!

I went to IKEA yesterday to suss out some possible furniture options. IKEA is just crazy. You could buy almost everything you ever need. They even sell food there (and i’m not talking about the cafe). The IKEA I went to was one that i’d never been to before as there is two in Stockholm and a different one was closer to our old house. This one was bigger and I dare say better. The layout was in some crazy circular style with “sample rooms” on the exterior of the circle and when you walked in to the middle bit you can see other furniture they have on offer that hasn’t been put in a setting. Anyway you basically walk down the store in a spiral of spending doom.

When I shop I love to touch everything. I think I spent like an hour just touching the couch materials! I think when I go on the day to buy everything though it’ll take less time. Anyway to get over the sadness of spending all my cash on boring furniture I also did a little clothes shopping. Ahh, there’s really nothing like retail therapy. Now I just need to prepare myself for the harsh amount that i’m going to spend next week… I think the video camera coming in the mail will work

I know i’ve been bad with pic updates too but don’t worry, when I move to the new place you’ll be seeing a lot more! For now I can only show you what’s around me:

Where I sleep!
