peace

The first snow of the year is falling outside. I have warm, delicious oatmeal. Baby is active in belly. And later today we're going babystuff-shopping at IKEA. I'm feeling very peaceful this morning. That's it. That's the post.

viki’s weekly – double up (sep 23rd-oct 6th)

I think I got the dates right. My head is not in it these days. So there's not really much to report. I've had migraines, a lot of anxiety and anxiety attacks, still getting over a cold, I'm in constant pain (belly's getting heavy and my back is not happy, and no matter how I …

viki’s weekly (sep 16th-sep 22nd)

It's been a week. Most of it has been spent in anxiety, to be honest. I've been so nervous about that 120-year celebration, and all of Saturday, before the party, was just one lengthy anxiety attack. No, I really didn't want to go. But I went. For my husband. Besides, I honestly felt like it …

viki’s weekly (sep 9th-sep 15th)

This week I had a meeting, an appointment at the hospital and we celebrated my sister's birthday. The meeting on Tuesday went as ok as it could have gone, to be honest. She said we were placed in a strange situation, because usually that meeting would have been followed up by me trying out different …

the weird thing about being pregnant…

.. is when you stop thinking about the fact that you're pregnant, and you just... are. Anyone else get this or just me? You feel pregnant. You feel baby being active. You talk to baby. Your hands are always on your growing belly. You know you're pregnant. And still, when I see myself in the …

viki’s weekly (sep 2nd-sep 8th)

First of all, it's my sister's birthday! Happy 19th, shrimpy! *insert celebration emojis here* Second, this week has basically been all about preparing for baby's arrival. We spent most of the week cleaning up, moving things, throwing things out, and reorganize furniture. We were able to clear out so much space in our bedroom, and …

viki’s weekly (aug 26th-sep 1st)

Bit late, perhaps, but I've had a day and haven't been able to focus. (Side note - I wrote this on Sunday, but then our Internet escaped us and then I just.. forgot. Add hashtag 'pro blogger'.) First, a thunderstorm woke me up. I hate thunder. I would like to say I don't, but I …

viki’s weekly (aug 19th-25th, 2019)

The week started off with a phone call, which was no fun. Fear of talking on the phone is part of my diagnosis, so I rarely make any phone calls at all. This time, however, I had to. But after that, things fell into place rather quickly, so that was a huge relief. To get …

about this writing thing…

In my first post, I said that I created this blog as a 'first step' in the journey of getting my creativity back and start writing again. So far, so good. But then comes the questions and - with them - the doubt. What should I write about? What would other people want me to …

what to expect

And once again I have created a blog. I honestly can't count how many I have created over the years, and they all have eventually been neglected and deleted. I promise I will try not to neglect this one. I created this because I'm out of practice. My biggest dream is to be a writer, …
