Feel-Good-Time



I went into the cinema to se "Julie & Julia" at noon and enjoyed 2 hours of Feel-Good-Time - this movie also caused the male audience to burst out with laughter, so it is not just a chick-flick.....

Julie Powell took up an incredible challenge, when she decided to cook more than one dish per day for a year, blogged about it and completed the challenge and found/got more opurtunities because of it. The recipes from Julia Child sounds yummi, but I know that my MS will not agree with me if I tried out a lot of the dishes...and still can not help wondering about the possibility to find a new "agreable" recipe, that I could make...hmmm....need find a copy of the book......

More hot beverages please......


It is cold outside, and I have struggled with a cold the past 4 days - grrrr!! That time of the year - the body reacts stronger to weather changes since I was diagnosed with the MS.

But looking on the bright side of it - it is the season where hot beverages becomes "in" again - I have 10-15 different types of tea at home......

...and then there is Whittard's Mulled Wine - I rediscovered it last month in London and instantly bought 3 canisters, one of them already gone. In Canada I discovered Mulled Cranberry - only bought 1 canister which I regretted afterwards.

When I travel, I always look for tea - in this case instant tea drinks for the variety. The mind wanders back to the vacation, when one of these foreign teas is selected.

In the wrong place?

Ever get the feeling, that you are in the wrong place?


This has popped up in my mind more recently, maybe fuelled by a collegue's comment "What the hell are you doing here - you are creative, you should pursue it!"


Well... just maybe...


Need an income to pay my bills and especially the rent on my appartment... And I actually like my job.


The creative side of me was let out of hiding, when I got the MS diagnosis 7+ years ago - need to now, what I can do, if I am suddenly unable to work because of the MS. Now - it is one of the most un-stressing things that I know of, when things are a bit "too much". But then again - I manage a full time job and other activities, so the creativity is sort of a back-up-plan....
