Kitty’s Place

It has been a busy week but fun. Monday there was school of course. After lunch there was a photo vernissage hosted by the Creative Photography course. I was done at 1145 but stayed for that since Stefan had his pictures on display. I don’t know if I have mentioned him before. He is an american man who is here on a scholarship for a year of studies. We normally don’t see the creative photography students since they have classes in a different building but Stefan comes to our swedish class every Friday. Very nice fellow, in his 30’s I think. I want to introduce him to the american women I went to school with last year but there hasn’t been an opportunity so far. We had dinner at Ibo’s parents place.
Tuesday I was at school in the morning and then had a makeup class for my distance course in the afternoon. I applied for a new distance course for spring term while I was there. From there it was on to pick up LL and we got home around 1700. Ibo got a haircut and looked great when he got home from work.

Wednesday was a crazy day. I had school in the morning and then one of my classmates gave me a ride home. So I was here by 1130, took Rusty out and played with him for an hour then I took both dogs out for a 45 minute walk. I had planned on working out but felt bad for the puppy that there had been no real outside play time for a couple days, just lots of walking. On my way to pick up LL I stopped at the centrum to pick up soap and shampoo. I ran into Stefan at the bus stop and we chatted on the bus until I got to the school. I  picked up LL, we hurried home and made dinner and then we we headed to a political meeting. LL came along and sat out in a different room where he read for a while and then played on the computer for a bit.

Thursday LL had an appointment at Danderyd hospital with the eye doctor. She said he doesn’t need to come back to her but he should wear his glasses one more year, just to give his eyes some extra help. I took him for lunch there and while we were finishing lunch, Ruth appeared. What a surprise to see her, she had an appointment a bit later. So we had coffee and a pastry with her and visited. When we left the hospital he wanted to take the subway in to Stockholm instead of the bus to Helenelund. We lucked out because he loves the old trains and there was one heading in the opposite direction so we took it. I knew it would be coming back since it only had one station left on its run. He was so excited to get to ride so long on an old train. Kids are a hoot.

Today there was swedish all day. I had lunch with Stefan and we had a few laughs. After class was Friday fika and he and I talked about photography for a bit. Then I headed off to get LL from english class. I was supposed to go for a girls game evening at Ruth’s but it was up in the air when Ibo would be home so I called to say I couldn’t come because I didn’t know when Ibo would be home to stay with LL. She said bring the kidlet along and came and picked us up at the school. We had a lovely afternoon/evening! I met a couple of really nice american women and it was fun to see the girls and meet another swedish/american young lady. LL had great fun, the girls were so good with him. We sat around and chatted, then had Thai food delivered and after dinner (which was topped off with smore’s) we played a game called Apples to Apples. I honestly don’t remember when I have laughed so much. It was just so relaxing and fun.

Tomorrow LL is off to his grandparents house, he is going to bake with his grandmother and then sleep over and go to the theatre with her on Sunday. So we will have a kid free zone here for a bit. I have laundry time booked and we need to go and get new dog food. Otherwise I have asked Ibo to come along with me to the gym so he can check it out himself. High on the weekend agenda is homework, I really need to catch up.
