Yeah, I know, it has been some time. I was too stressed, overwhelmed and/or ill to make new blog entries. This one will be a quick summary of the past months. At least of what I remember. My head is like a sieve.

> Andras and I met up and were taken by my parents to the nearest big train station. We waited for our friends and travelled to Sweden. We spent our time discovering Malmö, meeting up and partying with our friends and talking to some new people. I'm hard of hearing and immediately become nervous, so I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much lol.

Andras and I were on our own on the last day, as our friends had already travelled back home, so we strolled through Malmö even more. We went to the Disgusting Food Museum, and I kid you not, I smelled _and_ ate everything they had to offer. If you're able to eat everything you're allowed to spin a wheel. I only won a free drink, but given the last sauce we were to try had 9 million SCU, I really needed it. Andras had bad stomach cramps immediately after eating it, whereas I had stomach pain and heartburn some hours after.

Our trip inspired both of us to draw more. The stuff I did can be found on my gallery here. :3

> The following days and weeks were just normal. I finally ordered a new sideboard and a new mirror for my hallway. I hope they'll look as good as in my imagination.

> This week I was scheduled for "secretarial work". I don't know how to describe it else. On my ward (and probably in the whole country as well) it's the job that mediates between patients and their next of kin, nurses, doctors, and every other department. About 6 years ago I was forced to work that job, but I was "dismissed", because it stressed me out so much it almost made me cry. lol. Our ward had been, since then, restructured, and there are always two people doing this job now.

Some months ago I told my boss I'd be willing to do secretarial work again if I had a coworker, so she's planned me for some shifts this month. It wasn't half as bad as I had remembered it, and I think most of it was due to having a colleague near me to ask every kind of stupid question.

> Some days ago my best friend's father died. Me and my family are very shocked, because he wasn't even _old_. I feel so sorry for my friend and their mother. They've lost my friend's brother, dog, and father in only 2 years. Terrifying and awful. Just awful.

> This week was Randi's birthday! She's 13 years old now and thankfully still rather healthy. She seems to be deaf by now, still has some allergies, and sometimes you can just _see_ how old she is when she gets up after sleeping. I hope we will still have some more good years together. I just love her so, so much.

To those who celebrate it, I wish happy Easter. I've some days off right now after my office work, and it's much appreciated.
