I thought I’d write a quick update since I kind of promised to Guylty that I would and also because I’ve felt that I need to for a while now since I’ve been away about 18 months. How the time flies and all that.
I feel like nothing much has happened and at the same time a lot has happened. My youngest son graduated from high school with very good grades and got a place in the Tampere University of applied sciences in the software engineering program. He’s very happy but now we are hunting for an apartment for him and a friend, they’ve planned to share a flat which would be great but since Tampere is a university etc city there’s a lot of other students hunting for the flats too. So yeah, another stress factor added just as I thought it’d get easier.
Next year me and hubby are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and I said to him that we’d go to Bora Bora which has been on our bucket list for a long time. We’ll see what happens. Probably we’ll just go to summer cottage anyways.
Eldest son is continuing his studies in software engineering since the work situation is not very good at the moment there either. He still lives with his friends which is okay I guess, of course he’s hoping to find a job and get a home for himself some day but for now things are all right.
Middlest son lives still with the same girl in Jyväskylä which is good so nothing major there either.
At work we finally got new library ict-system called Koha installed and working after six (!) years of waiting for a new system and after a week’s use I think it’s pretty okay. Next fall we have the happy occasion to start guiding our patrons how to use it (we are now closed for summer). The best part is that now we have all our collections available for browsing throu net. We are also restarting our library and literature blog which has been on the works since I started working here in 2010. So a lot new things happening here too.
What else? I got diagnosed with high blood pressure last November. I had just thought that I was a bit dizzy bc of low bp but it was the other way around. My medication seems to be working so I’m okay with it for now but in the near future I need to start doing something for my weight. My osteoarthritis agrees. I also got statins because both my parents died of heart attack so I’m kind of in the danger zone.
Now I’m just waiting for this week to end so I can begin my summer leave. Hubby’s leave begins next week so we and the cat are going to move to summer gottage after Midsummer. I’m not sure if youngest one comes with us or if he wants to stay in the city and enjoy time alone at home for the final summer.
I’m always glad is you want to leave a comment and I’ll try to remember to answer too.
