So busy at work, so much to do in so little time...so after work me and Vic have been searching for THE right halloween costumes. I thought I'd get away with not having any costume but oh I was so wrong. Now 2 days later, shopping stuff for halloween of course I had to spend more money on other stuff than just halloween thing...Crap.
So, tomorrow last day for this week at work...then party...then enjoy the weekend until I have to travel back to Rotterdam.

1st day
I got up at 05.30am to have some breakfast with pops, then drive 1 hour to Gothenburg to lift weights before work, then I just made back to the breakfast in the office...which ends at 08.00am. Stressfull morning...LOL Now, after finding a cell phone I could borrow, installing the programs i needed for my computer and talking to most of the people...back to work...I mean working.
Then i went for some food with my dear friend Caroline, some Italian food at a place at Linneplatsen...Amazing ffod that I say. It it good being back and have my friends so close. A simple dinner and some chat is worth everything. Just love it. Now I'm staying in our apartmend part in the office...yay how fun...I'm living at work. Damn, that really sucks. But it's just for this week, then back to Rotterdam for a week to pack anf finish some things. Then back to G-burg again, but then I will try to stay with some friends. I refuse to stay in the apartment iat work by myself...That's freakin creepy. But now Lidia is also staying here in another room, next door. But, staying here myself...that's a big NO NO!!!!

Here we go...
..I'm moving back to Sweden. Surprise surprise! I'm coming tomorrow already for a week, then I have to go back to Holland, then Sweden and then Holland and then hopefully I have finished all my work down here and will be in Sweden permanently. You probably ask why? And it's becuase work, they offered me e really good job that I couldn't say no to and the biggest reason why I said yes, was that my foot is still crap and I can't play ball, so sitting in Rotterdam and not doing what I love...that sucks, so I took the decision to take the new job and move home. This is kinda sudden, yeah I know, but at 2pm yesterday I got the information myself. "you need to be in Sweden my Monday" WOW that was fast...but I guess, it just for a week, then I'll come to Rotterdam to start packing my apartment into boxes again. Oh and speaking of apartment, I don't have any place to stay when I come to Gothenburg since my apartment I rent to a friend. but I talked to her yesterday and we will work something out. I will try put all my furnitures at some friends in Varberg and then keep some of my stuff in the office. I'm kinda stressed over this, I didn't expect to have to move so fast, I have to pack my stuff, finish and leave over my job, take care of the bank stuff, gym stuff, basketball stuff...and arrange a moving company from Rotterdam to Gothenburg...so I will keep myself pretty busy these next few weeks that I will be back in Rotterdam.
Today I've been on IKEA with my friend Caroline...she's also from Sweden and it has been so nice to have someone like her here. So shopping for some small stuff and some food shopping in the Swedish Food Market, we has some eating meatballs, brown sause and lingonberry...Yummie! And now I'm hoping that she and her Eric will move to Gothenburg :D

Then we took a walk along the pier to New York hotel. I can imagine this is a great place to be at the summer, with a really nice view over the river. It was kinda cold, but very nice.
Time to start packing...!

Good news
I wish I had some good news about my foot...but sad to say, it's the same and I'm getting so sick en tired of if. What the crap shoudl I do? I talked to my boy D, and he said it can take time but I would get well. I do hope so cause this ain't fun.
I watched 2 more episodes of Gossip girl, season 2...episod 6 and 7..., got some more of Dexter, Californication, Heroes and Prison Break to watch. Yeah, you're right, I don't do much....I work, go to the gym, go and sit on the side at the bball gym and then home in front of the computer or watchin tv shows. Yay, how fun. But Saturday me and Caroline hopefully will go to IKEA, i need to buy some stuff...and Kaviar :D Then my team have a home game and before that I gotta sit in the sec for the game that U-20 guys will play. Wow, so much things to look forward to...
But in like 2 weeks, my girl Victoria is coming here which I'm looking forward tooooooo much. And I hope that Jamye also can get a day off from work so she can come to Amsterdam and Rotterdam with us. And and Vicky, I checked your tour guides out...sounds interesting...I need to see some of this stuff. Only been here for 7 month and didn't see nuttin' But I'll wait for you girl...LOL

Another week
Nothing new here in Holland I would say, except that it's darker, colder and rainier...Yesterday we had a dinner at the Gauchos, a Argentinean restaurant very close to where we live, just 2 crossings from us at the pier. Always nice meat there. Then I had to hurry to the gym to do some cardio and the hurry to the basketball practice. Not that I'm practicing but I still need to be there...Boring as hell. It's depressing just being on the side, doing your excercises and streching.
I just got home from the fysio now and my foot is kinda sore. My ordinary fysio is not there for 2 weeks so there was this other dude there today, and geeez, I don't wanna go back to him...but I guess I have to...so next Tuesday again.
Now sitting here and dreaming about travelling...where to next? Australia, South Africa, Brazil? Well, first I will go to Thailand and then I will make my next plans. Even though that I have over 30days of vacation left, it's hard to plan something when I have the basketball (even though I'm injured now) and a manager who doesn't want me to be off work...

HDD Error
That's what my computer says...It's totally dead and I have no back up :( I'm so screwed, all work emails, all photos and stuff. But I might have some of the photos on my external HDD wish I copied 2 weeks ago. I'm just crossing my fingers that the IT guys can save some of my 4 year emailing conversation, for work and my photos...That's all I care about. Or, I would be really happy if they could restore the whole HDD. Let's hope so!
Other than that this have been a shitty day. The computer crap at work (did i say that ALL my work is infront of the computer), my stupid foot and some other stuff, which cannot be written in public. Worse day ina long time. Even they two guys at work said, Martina, maybe you should go home and sleep for a while and come back...They saw how angry I was at work...
Tomorrow I'm going to the fysio again, and I need to tell him to do something about my foot cause it's not getting any better at all. It's totally crap and I'm so frustrated just sitting on the side and making my balance exercises and stretching...ggrrrrrrrrr. Saturday will be the 2nd game I will miss, and I would guess another one or two weeks, since I can't even walk without pain. Hopefully it will be a little better after I get my new soles for my bball shoes. But I have to wait 2 weeks for them too...BoooOO!
You might notice that today is not one of my best days, only complaining and being grumpy...so I'll stop writing before I write something that I will regret :D

Rotterdam Challengers next...
Yesterday the board in Binnenland informed us that we have a new sponsor and have to move our team to Rotterdam. The board of the mens team Rotterdam Challengers http://www.rotterdam-challengers.nl/site/home.html wants to have a womens team in Rotterdam. And since Barendrecht is 20min from Rotterdam we will be the team. Yaaaay! Since the gym, Topsportcentrum in Rotterdam is very busy they will look into the possibilities that we will practice there and play our games there.
We will at least have 1 practice in Topsportcentrum and the others in Barendrecht, just until they have figured this out and the fact that the season is already started. We will also be named Renes Binnenland Challengers, until next season, cause I guess they couldn't completely change our team name in the middle of the season....or at least now when the season is already started. Best of all, the Topsportcentrum is like 20min walking, 5 min by car and only 2 stops with the metro from my apartment.

Head ache
This is thing has been the worst day since last Tuesday when it happened. My head feels like it's going to explode. I don't have any head ahce in the mornings, but during the day it's getting there, and now in the evening...GOD, is someone banging on my head with a hammer? At least it feels like it...
After work today I walked to Mirelles and got some dinner, salmon and pasta...yummie. then we took her bike (yes, both of us on her bike) to Zuidplein to catch the bus to the bball gym in Barendrecht. Watched the girls practice while making my squats and sit-ups, yay how fun.
Tomorrow I'll try to be at work BEFORE 8.00 am, good luck to me with that! Then directly to the fitness gym for 1 hour strengh and 1 hour cardio...then to the fysio and get some of that horreible massage on my foot, do some stretching and then we're going to watch the men's game.
Saturday I have to call the orthopaedist and get new inlays for my bball shoes. Oh and speaking of shoes, I think Lisa will buy my new white Nike's. So I will have to use my Hyperdunks untill my 2 new pair of bball shoes will come from America in the beginning of November. A guy from our Seattle office is bringing them for me to Sweden. Then around 4pm I have to be in the bball gym I think I have to be in the secretary for a U18 boys game. Then at 8.15pm our game starts, we play Den Helder, last years Dutch champions! And 3 of our 4 inside players are injured...so Lindy, half injured Michele and the junior Eline will have a tough job inside Saturday. But I'm not worried, they will do a great job.
Now, my head hurst so much that I think it's time for me to go to bed...and I'm also freking tired!

One of those bright moments
Yesterday I had one of those bright moments in my life, when I'm thinking I must be a blond...(sorry all my blond friends). I started the dish washer at work, put in the tab with the cleaning stuff and pressed start...left the kitchen and when I got back an hour later, I opened the dish washer and saw the tab with the cleaning stuff, unopened laying on top of the knives and forks. Wow, how could not remember to take off the wrapping??? I guess I didn't use my brain when I put it there...you know, one of those bright moments. LOL
After work I went to the fitness gym and did some cardio on the bike, since I'm not allowed to run, and then some strenght before I had to rush and get ready for the basketball game... Me and Sevda went to Leiden to watch the Men's game, ZZ Leiden against the Bluestream Seals.

Ok, so i need a better camera. Taking pictures on a basketball game when on moving object with my old camera, just makes them blurry. But here is at least one... The Seals won over Leiden with 82-80.
Today I've been at the fysio and got some of that horribel massage on my foot. It freaking hurts like crap. I hope that I can play Saturday, but as it feels right now...doubdtful that I can play :( I asked the fysio what my injury is and it's Plantar Fasciitis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis This sucks! Any suggestions what to do about this plantar fasciitis? Well, you cannot say stretching...
Now to an episod of Gossip Girls...Humpfrey in jail...you didn't see that one coming huh? :D

Sweden
Friday I decided to go home to Sweden for the weekend, since our bball practice was cancelled on Saturday morning. The fligh was at 8.25 from Schipol so I had to get up early early early....so tired!
When I got to G-burg I meet my girl Caroline, we took a coffee and when for boots hunting, but no success to find a pair of brown leather boots for me. I really miss her, I think we where twins in our past lives or so...It's like talking to a mirror somethimes, scary how similar we are in the way of thinking and acting, work and personal life and yeah, you name it.
Then I went home to Sami, to collect my UGG's. He brought them from the US for me...Thanks!

I just love them, so warm and comfy. Oh and my extra sister, Jeanette, she was so jealous...LOL, she wanted a pair too...haha, I just found a pair for her and left the webpage open so she can order them.
Then after picking up the boots I went to meet Anton, Jesper, Ekan and Tornqvist at Aldardo. I miss Anton too, I realaied than I haven't talked to him much at all since August...I gott start calling my friends more often. But still, not the same as seeing them in person. After that, I went for some more shopping. Here are some of the items that I purchased... :D
At 3.35pm I took the train to Varberg to see my fam. Jeanette and little Felicia came to pick me up at the train station. We went home to them, had some snacks and then the rest of them fam joined us, and 9 people went bowling. It was the kids who bowled the most. I'm not allowed to run or hardly even walk for my fysio. I have some "issue" uner my foot in my heel and I'm not supposed to put any pressure on...which means no wakling...Can someone borrow me a wheelchair?
Then we celebrated my mom and dad, for their 39th wedding anniversary. October 4th 1969!
You really don't reflect so much how much you miss the family and friends until you're home again and get to see them. How much you have missed out on and how you're not up to date on everything...Yes, I'm a bit home sick...and unfortunately I must fly back to Rotterdam tonight at 8.15...fun weekend but way too short!!!!!!
