Over for this time

Thank you to everybody who congratulated me in one way or another!

I woke up to some beautiful Happy Birthday-singing and a big big big present. Unwrapped it turned out to be a Nespresso. Finally, I have longed for one of those since visiting a friend in Barcelona spring 2005.
Filip and Henrik took off for school and work while I and Sixten prepared for a visit to the doctor. Sixten have had a high fever since Sunday and a bad cough so I wanted to have him checked up before we leave for Sweden.
Of course he had an ear infection, must be no 6 this year, and his asthma was very active. New medications to try to control his asthma and that little treat cost us $600. No Frikort in this country I can tell you. Well I shall not complain, our insurance covers it all . But just imagine what life is like for those without medical insurance having to choose not to give medicine to a sick child.
Henrik turned up with dinner and more presents. After some delicious grilled shrimps I got to open the rest of my presents. I got a super comfy Abercrombie hoodie, a new Electrolux kitchen hoover (no I was not offended by this), a cover for my iPhone, tights in cool colours, and for the money I got from my parents and my in laws I ordered a new pair of boots.

I am happy. I do like birthdays again. Especially turning 25.
