Guest post at Kathastrophal

I was more than honored when Katha asked me to do a guest post on her blog while she's away on vacation. Of course I said yes! The theme she chose for all her guest bloggers is "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn" and I decided to write about the things I love the most about autumn.

Sunday Look Back (week #37)

This week has been full of ups and downs. I've been extremely happy, sad, stressed out, angry, I've been crying because I've was sad and crying because I was laughing so hard.

This week's ups:

• I can't remember that I've ever laughed so much in my life as I did tuesday evening. 
• I feel like I've been a pretty good student this week - if I can say so my self (and there's no one else to say it for me)
• I FINALLY GOT MY READING GLASSES!!!!
• And I love, love, love them. 
• Today, to give an example, I have read more than a hundred pages and usually I would have a horrible headache by now - but I don't! At all. It's amazing. I know... I talk about it aaaaall the time, but it's just such a world changer for me. I actually ENJOY reading these days. Before it just hurt and took forever. 

This week's downs:

• My boyfriend was in an accident yesterday. He got hit by a car and ended up spending all day driving (with the people who hit him - turns out they were very nice people!) for several hours to get his tooth back in his mouth and getting checked up by a doctor. He's fine today, just a little soar and he gets the craziest stare when we go outside. Alright; he looks like he's been in a massive fight. With a car and the pavement. And he lost. Luckily nothing really terrible happened. That didn't keep me from crying for a few hours yesterday though. I was so worried. 

Couldn't have done without:

• My glasses! That's for sure. I had to read an entire book this weekend for tomorrow's lecture. 
• My phone, so I could keep in touch with my boyfriend yesterday and knew what was going on. 

Could've done without: 

• Car versus bicycle accidents. The car (and the pavement) always wins. 

Next week will be great because: 

• I'm going out with a group of friends I haven't seen since forever. 
• The last season on Desperate Housewives will be on Danish tv. I am very sad that it's the last season though. Very, very sad. (I would appriciate by the way if you DON'T tell me ANYTHING about it). ;)

Finally!

Today I am so, so, so happy! This might not be a normal post, but I just have to shout it out. Today I spend sooo much money on something I've never been thinking about before. Usally I would say that this falls into category with spending money on ink for your printer or going to the dentist or something like that, but actually I was more than excited about paying up.

My reading glasses are finally here! The last week I've been reading with temporary glasses and it has changed SO much for me. For the last three years (at least!) I've been suffering from headaches and migrains several times a week. For the last week? Zero. It's amazing. I read faster, I find it easier to understand what the text says, I am not getting tired from reading (at least not tired eyes).

And the glasses I got today are even better. They are so comfortable I hardly notice I'm wearing them. I'm so excited to find out what this will mean to me. And I'm so glad that for once I'm looking forward to reading, because it no longer means I'll be hurting at the same time.

How awesome is that?!

Sunday Look Back (Week #36)

This week's ups:

• My boyfriend got me Tina Dico's new album. I always get her albums the same day they come out (yeah, I'm that kind of nerdy fan...), but I had a terrible headache and was soooo tired, that I just had to go straight home after my lecture. But then he got it for me. He's the best. 
• School started again and so far I'm excited about this year's subjects. I am officially doing my master now. That's crazy. 
• I went to the doctor and got my free HPV vaccine. 
• I found the time (and energy) to go down town and experience a bit of this year's "festuge", which is a week of culture, music, theatre, parties and other fun stuff. 
• I found out that I need reading glasses - and I'm really excited about it. This weekend I've been using temporary (and blue!) glasses and they already turned my world around. Can't wait to get the real ones. 
• I finally got started on wrecking my wreck this journal. 
• Today I had a lovely afternoon celebrating my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's birthday. 

This week's downs (but somehow an up too):

• I had a really hard time getting used to all the reading time that comes with my studies. I got really tired and had very bad headaches/migrains. But nothing is so bad, that it won't do any good and I think i figured it out; I need reading glassed. Hopefully it'll do me good. Now I'm just a little sad, that I didn't figure it out sooner, since I've been suffering from migrains more than once a week the last three years! 

Next week will be great because: 

• I'll get my real glasses. 
• I'll have fun with my colleagues. 
• Hopefully I won't have any headaches. 

Last sunday

Last sunday we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at his parent's. I baked, and baked, and baked and we had a lovely day. I also had the chance to play around with my birthday gift for by boyfriend - a new objective for his camera (which explains the pictures of the birthday table). I can't wait to get to know it better. Tomorrow we're going to my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's (did you get that..?) birthday party. Can't wait! 

Instant Love

Skirt - New Look Inspire / Cardigan - Style369 / Jeans - New Look Inspire
Necklace - Ladybirdlikes / Bag - Asos

I had a few "in love at first sight" experiences today. All of the things above are some of them. Especially the printed jeans and the butterfly necklace. My boyfriend's only comment to the jeans was "They sure are... flowery". He's right - and I really like them!

As for the necklace... It's from Ladybird Likes and there's a lot of beautiful, beautiful things on her shop. I probably shouldn't show it to anyone at all and just keep it my little secret, 'cause by showing others I risk they'll all be sold out before I get there! But I'm sooo in love, so I just can't keep my mouth shut. Anyway; I already planned this thing... I'll buy jewelry from Ladybird Likes when I've reach my first goal in my weight los. Guess I need to do it quick!

Sunday Look Back (Week #35)

This week's ups:

• My boyfriends birthday - he was so happy about his present! 
• I finished my three weeks of (more than a) full time job. 
• I've been to the most wonderful apartment.
• My boyfriend and I went to the theatre. 
• I baked a lot of good stuff for my boyfriend's birthday "party" with his family today and we all had a great time. 
• I really don't like ladders, but I did the "balloon"-job anyway! I'm that cool. It's okay to be proud of yourself when you complete things like that, even though you're sure you'll hurt yourself/fall down/die....
• I got a unexpected late birthday present from a friend of mine. I've been wearing that bracelet every day since. 
• I bought a nice cookbook with cake recipes. Just beautiful cakes (which is really ironic, since I'm planning on starting a diet tomorrow) 

This week's downs:

• The most wonderful apartment will never be mine. 
• I've been so, soo, sooo tired! 

Next week will be great because:

• My studies begin tomorrow!
• Tina Dico's new album will be out tomorrow. 
• I'll probably, hopefully, have the time to relax.
