Not much has happened really. I've been too busy doing nothing lately. I've finally started working again as of last Wednesday. It's just 50% but at least that's better than just being at home all the time. My body can't handle more work right now anyways. My husband has finally passed his driving test last Tuesday and bought a car a week ago so now both my husband and I are drivers and we have a car available. We are so going to meet the spring in different parts of Denmark and Sweden now!
I'm starting to get really annoyed with Facebook in the past few weeks, all there is these days are bugs, glitches and errors! And the slowest browser in history- Firefox, is not making my mood any better really.
Sorry all Firefox fans but FIREFOX SUCKS!

Yet another day with DSB!
And they're just as hopeless as ever... This morning when I went to work, I ran between the trains to catch a commuter train that would enable me to take an earlier bus to work and not have to sit at a busstop for 20 minutes. But when I had gotten onto the commuter train after some running, and found a seat, it was announced that the train would be cancelled and the next train would come about 7-8 minutes later. The next train came and I took that one, but had to sit at the busstop for 20 minutes waiting for the next bus going to work.
Work today has been great. Many workmates really appreciated the Christmas decorations I put up yesterday afternoon after most people had gone home for the day. I actually don't think I've had such a smooth and problem free day at work for many months now to be honest. It would have been a perfect day if DSB had just done their job which is to provide public transport which is on time!
On my way home from work everything was smooth until I came into Copenhagen Central station. Looking at the departure screen I saw my train had been delayed 9 minutes and a couple of minutes later it was cancelled due to technical problems, but instead of letting people off at another platform, of course the cancelled train had to block the platform my regional train was going to arrive at minutes later. Said and done, the platform was changed for my train, and if that wasn't enough the escalator up from the platform where I was waiting was not running so I had to run up the escalator and then go down on another platform to catch a train which of course ran late because the cancelled train occupied the regional train's original platform.
I ended up getting home about 40 minutes later than usual, and that included a quick trip to the supermarket after getting off the train.
I really need to have a car soon! Can't stand DSB and their constant poor excuses and delays! It's only a matter of time until I'll take a taxi and send the bill to DSB when they do like this...
Oh, btw. The initials DSB does fit them quite well too. It's short for Dumb Stupid Bastards/Buggers!
Rant over!

Thursday 12th
Oh dear. Tomorrow is friday 13th! But it isn't just any friday 13th, it's also my husband's birthday and he's turning 25. I'm not into superstition and such, so for me, tomorrow is just a normal friday, which is the best day of the week and happens to be my husband's birthday aswell. Going to get up earlier than normal to celebrate him in the morning before I go to work, and then there will be a little more celebration when I come back from work. Nothing big, just a nice home cooked dinner and some cake.
Going to take my B12 shot tomorrow morning before I go to work too. But that will only take a couple of minutes or so.
I had a look at engrish.com a few mintues ago, and reacted about the picture from Suzhou which says Look out, knock head. I sent a pretty much identical picture to them nearly 3 years ago now and that wasn't put up on the page, now a sign like that is up, but I'm not mentioned. So I have just sent an email to them pointing out that I sent them that sign years ago. I don't ask them to use my photo instead or aswell, I just feel it's little to ask for to be mentioned in the "photo courtesy" for the sign. I feel it's not right to only give someone else the credit for finding that sign when I found it in early january 2007 and submitted it to engrish.com shortly after. Oh well. I'll see what they reply if they reply to my email...
Feeling pretty sleepy today. It's been a busy week at work, and I've been working a little bit harder than I should have, considering the fact that I've been on sickleave for 2 weeks. I should have started a bit more slow and easy, but went onto fullspeed at once more or less.
Wearing lenses today for the first time in a couple of weeks. My eyes are not overly happy about it today it seems. It's night and day lenses, but despite putting them in this morning, new, I think I'll take them out already tonight and just let my eyes rest for a while. It's always troublesome when taking a new pair of lenses, seems to take some time for the lens to get along with my eyes. After a few days use I don't even feel I wear lenses. It's always like that with a new pair of lenses, even in periods where I use it almost every day and keep them in for up to 4 days straight. Just like having to walk in a new pairs of shoes really... Not comfortable until they've been worn for a while.
Think I'll take my lenses out now, and get ready for sleep real soon. I'll probably get up at 7am tomorrow instead of at 8am. Want celebrate my husband and give him the birthday gift I've bought for him, before I go to work :)

Wednesday
Halfway to the weekend. Today has been a great day! The train into town was on time for once, and a faster commuter train was in when I came down the escalator at the commuter train part of the central station. So I caught that commuter train, and then I arrived my work area earlier than usual, was expecting to having to wait for my bus for about 20 minutes but then a bus I'm never able to catch came, so I took that one today, and arrived work even before I would have gotten on my usual bus. Could just sit at work and relax with some coffee for nearly 1 hour before my shift started! Wish everyday was like this.
My workday was a little bit unusual too today, I helped a workmate moving some products and shelves today instead of doing my usual stuff. Was nice with a change and also nice to work with someone and just chat while working. Just did my usual task the last 1.5 hour today. Now I know why my forklift gets stuck too. The driving wheel on it must have the wrong dimension. I didn't drive my usual forklift today, but a workmate was driving it and managed to get stuck on a rubber carpet, and when I compared my usual forklift with the one I drove today which is the same model, I could see my usual one barely has any air space between the floor and the lowest part of the forklift, while the one I drove today had space. Of course the workmate got stuck in the slope today too, but we were prepared for it...
Now it's just about two weeks left until first of Advent if I'm not mistaken. I don't really keep track on it very well these days I must admit. Anyways. I'm going to put up some electric candles in the windows fairly soon. It's so cozy and gives extra light in this dark season.
I still haven't started christmas shopping. But I'll wait until the november salary comes. It will be plenty of time to shop until Christmas, and I'm not going to buy much anyways. Just a little something for my closest family and some friends, but nothing big.
Feels quite incredible it's just a little more than a month left until Christmas, this year has been so fast! Doesn't feel like nearly a year has gone since last Christmas. Interesting how the speed of time changes with your age. When I was younger the years felt very long, but since high school or so, the years has just gone by in the speed of light.
In April it was 5 years since I graduated from high school, but it feels like it was yesterday. My husband and I have been together for 4 years in December. Wow, time has just been flying!
But now I have a mission! And it has nothing to do with Christmas, working or how fast time is. I really have to deal with the Chinese issue! I have to learn it! It's been 4 years since I first started learning a little, but I'm still totally unable to communicate with my in-laws! That has to change, I have to spend more time with the books and remember what I read. Time to learn those spiderwebs (ehh, characters)! Next year when my husband and I visit his family in China, I want to speak with my Chinese family, maybe not a fluent conversation, but just be able to speak freely a little bit instead of using translating softwares and pre-made phrases. I have no clue about expressing myself in Chinese yet :/
Oh well, long blog post today. I've had too much coffee! (6 cups) LOL
