Unexpectedly strong kicks

Ooooh, I have so much to write, to tell, to describe... But no time, so here’s a little peak into current events:
Today I got a HUGE kick to my stomach... (and a lot of smaller ones). From the inside... I held my hand over the stomach at the time, and I could feel it strongly from the outside as well! What a little kicker (kicker = frog in Dutch btw), I’m so happy that he seems so strong! :) What an incredible feeling that is... The first months, I was wondering so much how it would feel, and now I know. And it feels like communication, from this little soul I’m carrying, and I just cannot for my life put into words how incredible that feels. It’s sci-fi. Miraculous. Fantastic.

David is currently flying home from Las Vegas in his B767. He emailed and said they were grounded for a while, even though they were ready to take off, because Obama had just landed at the airport...

I’m not done my paper... I’m working on it, but I wouldn’t call it full time. It better be done before Christmas.

And it was cold today. -8 most of the day. But it’s going up to +14 on Monday. Would be nice, not particularly fond of the snow and ice lying around (even though the layer is about 100 times less than what Buffalo and area are experiencing!)

Spring!!!??

The snow is finally melting away!!!!!! I’m celebrating this with a bout of bronchitis...

Chopin prelude #20 + Kung Fu Panda

Jag bara älskar den här:

Speciellt när jag upptäckte att den klassiska biten de har kombinerat musiken med är samma musik som fick mig att rysa så mkt när jag var liten och blev överfallen av mumier och onda fåglar i Ghosts ’n Goblins på C64:an :)

anonymitetens frihet...

I decided to change back to not have my blogger connected to my google+. Not that I’m writing about any state secrets, but for some reason it’s so much easier to write as Lunicrax than as myself. Anyone who reads this likely knows me anyway and who I am. 

While waiting for my diary to arrive in the mail (I ordered an amazing one from amazon) for the new year, I decided to revive this place a bit. As I mentioned in one of the two entries from last year, I don’t lack things to write about. I just never do it. 

Tidbits:

- My PR card renewal arrived today! Normal processing time: 3 months. My processing time: 8 months. Not because of my dubious background or anything like that, but because the first card got lost in the mail. Following protocal, I had to sign a “solemn declaration” of not having received it, and wait for another 3 months until my solemn declaration wormed its way from the bottom of the pile to the top. Previous wait notwithstanding. Sigh. But today, finally, I’m free to return to this country if I go abroad again. Rumour (friends with contacts at border crossings) has it I would have been let in eventually anyway, but likely not in a short time. 

- The sand I spread out on our massively iced over parking at the side of the house mysteriously disappeared, and I slipped and fell for the 2nd day in a row. Impressive feat, considering I was already very carefully crawling along on all four. Getting tired of the ice. But, happy as long as there is no snow. Meanwhile in sweden, I saw some extremely happy words from someone inland who saw snow flakes for the first time this (and last) year. They are enjoying an incredibly warm, wet and dark winter. Not sure what I prefer. Probably this. 

If anyone still has this in their feed, please kick on me to get some photos ready.
