My thoughts

Today we finally got little rain and I feel good about it and I bet the nature loves it too . It rained the whole night so I feel so much more rested now because it was little darker outside and more cool in the bedroom. I have notice that it causes sometimes little problem when it's so light outside on the summer time here in Finland altough I am very use to it but I must say that sometimes I have quite difficult to sleep and if I wake up midle of the night I can't fall in sleep so easily like I do when it's winter. I do love summer times here in Finland and I would hope we would have more of it and less of winter. Here in Finland we do have wonderful nature changes during the year. I love fall and spring time too because they are so beautiful and I get so much of new energy of both but the winter is most depressing because it's so long and dark. I wish I could be like a bear and sleep through the winter time and then wake up when it's spring .

I have went through alot of invoices today so I start to feel little tired but I am glad over that I have done so much today. Now on evening I have lectures to 9 pm so I will be home late. I am happy over that this week will be the last study week and after this one I will have 3 weeks vacation from university. I will only have one test after two weeks so wich one I need to read to but otherwise I can relax and watch TV on evenings .

I am on my lunch break now and feeling tired and hungry because I finally started my diet. I have to loose some weight to feel better and now I at last can say I am on my way . I only drink some proteine meals through the day. They taste ok but they make me very hungry after few hours . I think it's only normal when you start to eat less you feel more hungry. It takes few days before you stomach get use to eat little.

My work is still boring but now I little by little start to know what to do with all these invoices what comes everyday. I go through a lot of invoices daily and many of them have all kind of problems so you need to be very careful and take time when I go through them. I now know that I will cope with this so long time I need to if the time won't be forever. I hope I find something else inside the company in August-September. Now at summer time it might be little difficult to find a new work but after the summer vacations are over there might come someting what I can apply for .

We have nice weather here in Vaasa today. On morning the sun was shining but now when I look out I notice that it was cloudy but still warm so I am happy. They said on the weather report that it might rain today so that's great because the nature need the water otherwise everything will dry. I notice yesterday that if we not soon get rain the grass in our yarden will become brown. We have so big yarden that if we start to water it by self it never ends and it will go too much of the tab water so I do hope it will rain soon after all . I actually love the rainy days because then I can be inside on the evenings and read a book and if I am at work it's the best time to be too because then you don't feel so bad of staying at workplace. When the sun is shining you want to go out and do something else than the workduties .

Now I need to go through some invoices before I go to university. I have quite many lectures on evenings this week but after these I will have few week holiday before they starts again in August.
   

or okay I have been here all the time but I haven't had the time to write anything . We have had really busy two weeks. First on the end of last week my dear hubby had to go to hospital. He got so bad pains in the stomach so I said to him he have to go and see a doctor right away, well the doctor took him inside at hopital for few days because he was so sick that they gave him medicin through vein . The diagnosis was that he got a acute large intestine inflammation. After this we now need to think how to change our food habits because the doctor said that when he got it first time it will renew easily if he keeps eating like this so now we will be really healthy with everything. I got my hubby home and everything went well but he have been quite sick and eating medicine the whole week. Tomorrow he will try to go to work again so we will see how everything goes. I said to him that he need to go and take a blood test so we will know if the medicin helped him or if he need more of the penicillin.

I have been busy with my new job and study. I even had some smaller translation duties to my old workplace. My new work is hard and I am quite sad over it but I will cope and after the summer time it might come something else what I can apply for. Last week I had some problems with my new duties at work and I felt so depressed over everything but hopefully I will soon learn to go through huge amount of invoices daily and in august I might begin with something else what I closer to what I want to do inside the company. I hope I can say farewell to these duties in fall .

The end of this week we went to Kokkola (it's about 120 km from Vaasa) and bought a Opel van to my hubby. I didn't get a car yet because the car (Skoda Octavia) what we did go and see was not agreeable so we end up buying a car for my husband Kari instead . He is very happy with this car and hopefully we will still buy a better car for me too .

This weekend have been a midsummer day holiday here in Finland. People celebrate the sun because now it won't go down at all on the whole day and night. We have 24 hours sun for few weeks now so that's nice but little hard to sleep. Most of the finnish people are staying at the summer cottages near the sea but we was at home and relaxed the whole weekend. People usually eat new potatoes, raw salmon or Baltic herring and vegetables on midsummer day and for dessert we eat a lot of strawberries . After midsummer day many people go on summer vacations and alomost the whole Finland will be closed. I will be working the whole summer because I changed the workplace just now. At my unist on ABB Oy will be quite many who are working because there are so many summer workers too so that's nice and I don't need to be alone .

Okay now I will go and clean our house.

Well now I have been working at ABB for three days and I must say that this work is not for me but I can hadle it for a while if I know that someday very soon I will find something else so now I start to look for some other work either from the same company or from other companies . This is quite boring job where you won't meet any people and I notice that not even the phone will ring . You will only be sitting in front of two computer screens the whole day and go through hundres of invoices . You put them on different accounts and go through problems. I am not happy with duties like this but I shall some how get through the day after all and be happy about that I will get my salary in time after all .

We had a rainy day today so that was quite nice but little cold for me . I was glad that the nature got little water and won't dry so fast. I would want to have few of these rainy days now after all because it won't be enough of water of one day so... .

We have still the bird which made the nest on the gallows what is on the southeast corner of our house. The bird is always very angry when we come close to the nest but she is not moving after all so I am quite happy with it . It's fun to watch her and see what happenes in the nest this summer. I am laready waiting for the brood to bear .

Now I will still make the finnish-swedish translation duty for my old workplace before I go to bed so I hope you all who read this will have a great day tomorrow .

Love Anneli

I am sitting here thinking what I have done today and I must say that nothing special . I only relaxed and watched tv. I felt great to not to do anything

I was at morning to my parents house because I have to pick up their car so that I can get to work tomorrow. I will start to work on the new place tomorrow morning so I am quite nervous over it today . I bet the first day will be quite easy but after that it will get more bussier. I let you know how everything goes.

Here in Finland people soon start to get their vacation so they are now waiting for it. The sun is still shining and we have very warm weater. I am little bit hopping for the rain so that the nature will start to look more green and not dry like it soon will if it keeps this warm. Now we have here in Vaasa daylight 24 hours and the sun is shining the whole night. It look so great and I like the light .

Now I will get and read little before I go to bed

Saturday is the best weekday that I know. I love to sleep little bit longer on Saturday mornings and then go to the supermarket and other store. The best thing is that you will have the whole day off from work . I sometimes even have lectures or a test on Saturdays but that's okay and you still have the evening free to do what ever you want because on Sunday mornings you can sleep very long so that's why you can stay up little longer on the Saturday nights and that's great.

Yesterday was my last day at my old workplace and it was quite sad day but my workmates said that they want me to come and visit them often . I got three beautiful plants with flowers from my boss and a wooden box where I can put the plants and then take the whole thing outside to the yarden. I was so surprised of the gift that I couldn't say anything other than Thanks . On Monday I will start on the new workplace, that will be interesting. I hope it's a good place and that my new workmates are fun and nice.

Here in Vaasa we have a Baltic herring market at the square today. There are a lot of market vendor who will sell all kind of fish and vegetables. We even might get new potatoes already and tomatos. That will be fun. I will go and buy some salomon and potatoes, maybe even strawberries too .

I kept reading the book You Can Be Amazing yesterday evening and now the author wanted the readers to think what they envy in other people and after that think what other might envy on them. It was very fun to do this and I notice that there is a lot of things to envy about but I notice that I even might have the things already what I envy in others, weird but true. I might have these attributes what I envy inside me but I haven't yet taken them up to the surface and that's why I envy them in others who have done that already . I was so happy when I realised this. The book is really good and helps me a lot to find my self now and I start to take more care of the things what I have inside me and not only rush through the life without realised what I might reach if I really try. The book tells me how to surface the things what might help me to deal the world with and that's a one important thing what I need to do. I recommed this book to others too, I love the book .

I hope everyone has a good day today.

Today now after few minutes I will go and cut my hair so that I will look little better on Monday when I start att my new workplace. It will be so fun and I hope I will enjoy to work there.

Today on evening I will be at university again and the whole day tomorrow too so my weekend will be quite short. I love to study so I hope this course will be fun and I will learn a lot of new things. I have now made 88 study weeks so I only have 72 studyweeks to go before I can take my examination so that's great. It won't take long time anymore maybe about 2,5-3 years.

Before I go to work today I will buy cake what I my workmates can eat because it will be my last day at this work place although my boss said yesterday that he want me to keep the keys because he thinks that I might need them if I need to come to work on evenings or weekends and do something . They don't want to get rid of me and okay I will still make all the apartment and house general layout drawings for the company and also translation jobs so I will see them quite often after all so actaully I am not leaving but working less there and more at the other place .

Now I have to go to the hairdressing saloon to become more beautiful .

The days at this workplace getting lessen everyday. Now I only have two days left. I start to be little nervous over the new place. I went there yesterday and sign the contract. It was quite fun and on the same time I asked if I can have one week free in the beginning of August because then my hubby want to go to Jyväskylä to Rally Championship what arranges every year. We have been there many days and it's the only Rally where he gets me with him. I actually like to go on that because there is so many people from all over the world and it's fun to hear them talk and do things. I also like to watch the beautiful Rally cars and of course I usually shop cloths and other things then too so that's the best part of the whole trip .

Finnish people start to think on 24th June because then we have Midsummer day celebrations and many people start their summer vacations. The celebrations are not that big and usually people celebrate it with family and friends. They eat new potatoes, grill vegetables and eat Baltic herring. Of course strawberries and cream comes as a dessert after eating the other first. I usually start with the dessert because I don't like Baltic herring . People also drink bear, wine and shaps (real alkohol in a small glass). The swedish part of the population also sings songs when they drink shaps but not the finnsh speakers they only drink a lot and fight in the end of the evening . It's quite fun country this Finland because we do have a lot of differensies between finnish and swedish speakers. Here in Finland we have two different mother tongues and they are just these languages. I belong to both side so I don't actually know witch one I belong more to. My mother speaks swedish and my father finnish so I am something mixed up . I heard from my mother that I was made on the ship what goes between Finland and Sweden so no wonder I turn up like this . I am actaully very proud of my both languages and I have got the culture from these both too so I am quite open mained person who loves to laugh

Okay now I need to start to work again.

Yesterday when I was to the supermarket I notice that they already had cherries and strawberries there but of course they was from Spain but they tasted wonderful. It will take some time before we will get own strawberries. Somewhere begining of July we will get them and they won't be grown in greenhouse (like they might be now if the seller says that the strawberries are from Finland, actually I don't belive even it yet but maybe after few weeks I might). The real finnish strawberries will taste like heaven for me. I love them . The lovely cherries we might get in the end of august but the trees are in bloom already so that's great. It looks like we will get quite a lot of cherries this year so I am very happy about it because they are the best I know but if you ask my hubby will he say that the stawberries are the best .

Now in morning it's so fun to wake up because the birds are singing loud and it's so light. For this summer we got a birdnest close to our house. The bird was building the nest really carefully and keen yesterday and now it's ready. The bird build the nest on our house corner where the gallows comes little bit our from the wall. It's little difficult place because the gallows are so round and we have a terrace under it. On that terrace we usually grill and spend some times in the sun so I think we won't grill that much this summer . I don't want to disturb the bird and the cubs. Actually it's quite good place because now the nest have a roof over so it won't get wet but I am little nervour when it's windy outside that it will fall down because the place is not that solid but maybe the roof will help with that too, I hope so. It will be so fun to watch the nest now and see the cubs grow .

Today I will go to my new workplace and sign the contract. That will be interesting and little nervous too. After this day I might know more about the job, salary and everything else what might come handy when I start on monday. Here at my old workplace they got a new worker who will be only two months before the lady who is on mother leave will come back. I will teach her this whole week so now I can little bit relax and only sit next to her and instruct her. We have a house displey today so it will be fun to see how good everything goes and who will be interesting to rent a house on the countryside. Tomorrow I will call the owner who lives in Sweden and tell her how everything went. I hope I will have then few good candidates who will be the best renters ever .

Yesterday evening I kept reading the book You Can Be Amazing and I am now in imaginen my biggest goal. That was fun I saw my self doing the things and feeling the wonderful sense of succeed. I wanted to stay on that illusion for ever .

Now I need to start to work before my workmates will come to office

A beautiful and warm day rises here in Finland again. It have now been many wonderful days with a lot of sun shine and warm weater. The summer is here and now everything will keep becoming more beautiful in the nature. All the flowers will start to bloom and all trees get leafs and so on... Finland is so beautiful in summer time, like every other country. I don't know what it is with summer time but it makes people so much more happy and glad. Immediately when the weather turn warm and sunny I got less of angry customers and they are not complating so much either so it's quite fun to help these people to find a good apartment .

I have now only few days left in this workplace so I feel little sad about it but in the same time I am already waiting for the new one to start. I am little nervous because my last workplace was so bad one and there nobody admire me although I took care of the company economy (or maybe it was because of that...). They started to harass me and the boss kept telling me how stupid I was. I am now little nervous over this new workplace because I now go back to similar duties but I do hope that this company will be a lot different and my coworkers will be so much happier with their life and more funny to deal with, more like my coworkers are at this company where I am working now. I hope my new coworkers will admire me and my work effort in the same way they are doing here. I know it's little bit weird to think like this but I felt so bad inside me when I was working at my last workplace and I don't want to feel like that anymore and I won't . I took me so long time to heal my self and I haven't really completed it yet. I am still working through my feelings and letting go the past but it's quite hard because when I remember everything what happened and what my boss said to me. I am very glad that I got this workplace where I could heal my self and my coworkers really respect me as the person I am . I will tell that to my boss here before I leave on Friday.

The one really good thing with this new work is that it's quite close to our house so in july when I don't need to go to university at evenings I could bicycle to work and that way I get better condition and maybe even loose some weight. Now I only need to find the right diet for me. After that I will feel so much better. I have notive that it's quite difficult to find the right diet (this sounds weird, I know). I have tried so many and I have few what I am interesting in like raw food but these diets are quite difficult ones to abide by. I shall keep looking because I do want to change my food habits for good and feel like my self again .

I hope everyone will have a lovely and sunny day.

Now the weekend is over again and I have only one week left in this workplace. It will be so weird to go to the other place on next monday and over the whole next weekend I will be on edge but in the same time I will be waiting for the monday to come very soon because new is always new and I will be keen on to start working there. It will be so fun to get to know my workmates and the company.

We have our wedding day today. It's fun to think that we have already been married for 6 years. WOW how fast time flys by when you have all kind of things happening in your life. We don't really have time to celebrate our wedding day today because after my work I will go to University again and I will be there the whole evening. Ouh well maybe next year we might celebrate it more .

We have still warm and sunny weather here in Vaasa. I notice that our room at upstairs will get quite warm again and I was little bit wondering how my fish will take it. I won't actually know how to get the tank little cooler. I know that on summer time the room will be very warm like 30 C degrees so it might be too warm for the fish . Is there someone here at this blog who might now the answer or have had the same problem ? I will also try to search the information from the web. Maybe there will be some good websites of the goldfish and their bahave .

Okay now I need to start with my work.

We have had very lovely waether here in Finland today and it have been almost 27 C degrees in the sun so that's wonderful. There have been so much of bugs and butterflys flying around in our yarden so it have been so fun to watch them fly from flower to flower . I even took few minutes nap in the sun when I was sun bathing on the midle of the day . It felt great but very warm .

I kept reading the book You Can be Amazing today and there the author write that you need to put some goals. Then take the easiest one and that is the one you will work on before going on the next one. Okay here is my goals:
I will some day write a book/books
I will be famous
I will loose weight
I shall try to find a diet what fits me and makes me healthy
I want to find a workplace where I can be happy and job for a very long time
I will take my examination in few years
I will be happy with my life
I will have children some day
I will travel more
I will someday have quite good living
I will have a website where people from all over the world can come and get to know eatch other and talk about everything, they can even chat about the common problems what they have in the everyday life.
I will make a lot of friends
I will learn something new everyday
I will learn many different languages
I would want to live my life like the nature teach you to live
I will be a nice person who helps other people the got their life in order
I will help animals some how
And the list goes on and on....

I have many goals but only few of them I can now achieve. The first ones will be the diet and my study. I shall even try to work on with my website, friends and the job thing .

Okay now I shall go and watch tv.

It's a lovely day here in Finland today. The sun is shining and it's very warm already now in morning we have 20 C degrees so this day might be the warmest one. I shall go after my house cleaning out and sun bath little. I will read and sit in the sun feeling great .

Yesterday I celebrated little because althought I knew I have got a new workplace and got inside to university I haven't yet celebrated it so yesterday I ate my favourite pizza and drank little white wine. It felt great and we even watched the movies Saw I and II so the celebration was perfect. I know I am quite modest . I even wrote emails to everyone I know yesterday evening and told the good news of my new work and study place . I was so happy that I wanted others to be it too .

Today I need to clean our house and do some study works in swedish. I got a new computer program of general layout drawings (photo shop) so I need to go throught it little today too. I have only next week time to do learn the program because after that I am on my own with the layout drawings. Althougt I change the workplace I will still do these general layout drawings to my old workplace and other offices along the coastline here in Finland on my freetime, like evenings and weekends, so it will be quite a lot to do but it's good that I will get paid of it (not much but something and that's ok). It will quite fun to do drawings but first I need to learn to use the program and Photo shop is not the easiest one to learn .

My hubby have his birthday today so we might clebrate it little and his mother just called so I chat with her few hours because my dear hubby went already to our garage and repair his rally car so I received the happy birthday wishes from her .

Now I have to start to clean our beautiful home.

I woke up quite early today althought it's Saturday and I could sleep still few hours but it was so light outside and warm in our bedroom so I got up and started to write this blog. I feel good today and I am eagerly looking forward to the new things what will happen in my life now . My hubby is still sleeping. Today is his big day because he have build a own rally car from pieces and today he will get it to the vehicle inspection so it will be fun to hear how it went. After this he can start to compete again. I shall go to my parents house now on morning and after that to the grocery store.

Yesterday evening I was reading the book "You Can Be Amazing" and there they said that I need to write daown everything what I feel quilty about so here it goes:
I feel quilty about not spending so much time with my parents and my cats
I feel quilty about not eating healthy food and exersise daily
I feel quilty about speking bad of some people, I do not want to do that
I feel quilty about leaving my cats behind me when I met my hubby who is allergic to animals so now my cats lives at my parents house
I feel quilty about not writening emails to my friend so often I used to
I feel quilty to leave my job at Real Estate Company because now the need to find someone else for two months before the lady whos on mother leave comes back
I feel quilty about the car accident and our problems with money
I feel quilty about not taking care of our house and yarden so good
I feel quilty over beeing so lazy over the weekends
Okay now I need to go through them again and take off these what is not relevant and I can't do anything for....

The book is really good and the author said that you need to clear your house, car, bag and your work space little by little everyday so you can feel to be amazing when you get rid of things what you don't need and don't actually even want to keep but some how you have difficultiness to throw them away. I have read this from Feng Shui books/Website too so I think it's better to start with this now

Okay now my hubby woke up so I will go to my parents house after few minutes. I hope every one in the whole world will have a lovely day.

It's wonderful that it's already friday again. Here in Vaasa he have lovely weather today. The sun is shining and I think we will get a warm day like 20 C degrees (it's warm here in Finland in begining of June . I feel quite happy and start to think of the future like how it might feel to change workplace again and how about the university. We went to bank yesterday and if we will get a new estimate of our house what is bigger than what it was few years ago we will get more loan so that's wonderful and I will get a new car after few weeks. Now I need to ask from my work if someone will come and make the estimate, I hope it will be bigger .

I was at the university yesterday evening and I saw my cousin who I haven't met in two years . I was on my way to café and she was on her way to calssroom. We both was suprised and chat few minutes but she was in hurry so we only said few words. I hope I will see her more often now if she comes to university too to take some courses at the summer time. I will have three different courses now on summer time so I will still have a lot of to do with my study before July then I will have few weeks holiday from my study. I will continue with my courses in August again at the summer university and in september I change everything to "normal" university .

Here in Finland on this weekend will it be a lot of student parties because there is a lot of young peoles who get their student examination tomorrow. It's quite fun to watch all the beautiful peoples running every where because they are so nice dressed and carring a lot of flowers . We don't have any students in our family this year so I can relax and watch other people run . When I was younger we had many years a lot of parties where we had to go but it actually ended on me because I am the youngerst from my cousins so I was the last one and after me it took many years before my cousins children started to become students .

Ok now I have to start to work again.

Love Anneli
