Finally!

Today was one of those days - when things just get finished. Must be because I was so energized by the qigong-training during the weekend! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE BABYSITTERS WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE!!! Tusen tack, E, V och S & co!!! That was, by the way, just what I needed. After the last training yesterday, my body felt tired, but warm and all the stiff parts were gone. I was also inspired to continue exercising - like this morning I made some warm up movements on the balcony, and plan to end tonight with a bit of streching.

I'm very pleased with today's activities. D's been very cooperative with his naps today and I made a point of trying to either include him in what I did or simply take time to play with him - and still I managed to do a lot! I more or less finished the cold part of the attic (have tried to clear/clean it so it can be used as guestroom in the summer) - D helped - and while I was finishing my walk with D my cousin came by on his tractor. I asked if he could try to pull up the darn birchstump, and he said: "sure", confident his megatractor and fork that lifts a few tons could do the trick. Well, it couldn't. But he managed to dig up such a big hole I decided to plant the bush NEXT to the stump :). Mission accomplished, finally. Now the garden just needs weeding, but plants and bushes are where I want them to be :). For the first time...probably ever, the house has no room, which is a total mess (now all rooms are a bit messy :). So let's see if feng shui works - I'm expecting my life to become totally perfect now, since all corners of the house are in order, and the garden is ok, too!

I also want to share with you a picture of an old friend - McCormic. I learned to drive it when I was maybe eight years old, I was needed in the farmwork, using the tractor to make "pressed grass" (AIV-foder :) - don't know what it's called in English (correction later: checked with my mother, I was 14 when I started to work with the tractor...but I had been driving it in the fields before that). It was lovely driving the tractor along the forest roads. Now it makes a lot of noise, unfortunately, so I wouldn't take it for a spin, but I still have warm feelings for the old guy :). I'm glad I didn't even try to use it to pull up the birchstump...I wonder how many girls have photos of their favorite tractor on their blogs, by the way :).

Good week ahead - guests should turn up. Don't know how many yet :).
