It has been a busy week. We got snow. Not a lot. A few inches. But it snowed through the day on Thursday. Plenty of snow that would have certainly shut down the schools in Connecticut. And probably made for a delayed day on Friday. But this is Sweden. So I woke up early and drove through the snow to meet the electrician at the workshop at 0630 in the middle of a snowstorm. Izzy went to school and Susanna went to work. We all survived.
It is also getting cold. I got Hoagie a shirt/sweater to wear. He loves the snow and winter, but it seems cold enough that with his short fur he should have something extra on top. I can’t tell if he likes it or not, but at least he doesn’t seem to freak out with it on. I think I need a warmer winter coat and snow boots, but I’ll wait until I return from the states to pick them up.
Susanna’s car battery died last night. She had a late night at work, working the closing shift at the preschool followed by a team meeting after closing. I got a call from her at 8 pm that she couldn’t get the car started. Of course I didn’t have jumper cables (yet), so I drove the 30 minutes in the snowstorm to Hovmantorp to pick her up and drive her home. This morning she took my car to work. I took the bus (and walked) to the car parts store and picked up jumper cables. After lunch, Hoagie and I walked downtown and then took the bus to Hovmantorp and made the 20 minute trek to Susanna’s work to help her jump the car when she finished work. Hoagie didn’t mind the bus ride and spent most of it sleeping on the seat next to me.
The electrical work is done in the workshop. I’m hoping to get out there tomorrow morning to clean and organize after moving things around for the electrician. The new lights are a huge improvement, though now I can see where I messed up when painting the walls.
