early betime for once
I had baaad sleep this night. I was so stiff it was a release to get up from bed.
My lack of sleep put me in bad mood all day.
I longreined my colt, she needed a lot of time and patcience today... didnt ride after as planned, cause I felt slow in head and sore all over, and moody like a cow.
I did change winter wheels for summer wheels on my car, and that was so boring to.
And I did clean my house. Boring to. Can you hear Im moody?? ;)
But now it feels good.
My brother with family visited for dinner, that was really nice so now I can go to bed with a good feeling =)
Tomorrow is Valborg, last april, and big celebration for spring in town! Looking forward to meet loads of friends and party from morning til night! ;) After a day in town me and my cousin will go to the skydive club, thats where he really good party is!! :D And Im sooo looking forward to meet all nice peolpe Ive missed so much! Finally season starts!!!
Im gonna sleep SO well now.
And wake up tomorrow in good mood!!
so sore...
I barely got up when she tensed and started to rear and buck, I stayed on for a while but she reared that high I thought we where gonna fall over backwards, and I started to slide on the back of the saddle, there was like no saddle under me any more, and to be behind the saddle would never be a good ending... so I let go.
I fell quite hard, and just tried to protect myself in case she would kick. She ran away, and I layed there trying to breath and make sure nothing seemed to be broken.
I went for my Ving Tchun training at night and that loosened up my stiff body for a bit, even if it was quite painful.
Today everything is quite ok, except my neck. Can barely move.
Now Im gonna go longrein her, then ride. Fingers crossed!
And Elsie! Bout Biltema, Im gonna talk to you first next time! hahahahaha! Love ya!
The car is nearly...
It was so close starting. Its no good leving cars standings still =(
We did paint like half of the raft, continue tomorrow night.
Soon soon (THIS WEEKEND!) jumpseason starts at Stockholms Fallskärmsklubb (Skydive Stockholm), check the best dz in sweden: www.SKYDIVE.se
Good student! ...and bucking colt.
Got back to ride my one for the first time in 2 month. Lunged her, got up, walk for a bit, then she suddenly tensed and bucked away! I tried to pull her head back up and stay on for all I got, but NO. I had to eat sand.
Got up again, walk around.... and she tried it again! She bucked away and my tought now was if she wanna get me of this time, we where both gona fall (can u see my evil horns growing??) Pulling one rein more than the other one to disturb her balance, she actually stopped, phjjjuuuu. I thought she would become ever more pissed and try harder, or fall. Or both. Then she is not too stupid ;) hihi.
Now Im of to paint a raft for the "Forsränning" (a funny dressed up rafting in the river of Uppsala, a yearly event organized by students) . We´re not going (the same team s previous years), but some guys are borrowing our raft. and we promised to help them paint.... =)
Im off! (Picked up of course, no time to fix either car or bike today).
Bye!
Troubles immediatly...
Lissen to this!
(Yes yes I AM enjoying also to be home... but this is quite fun)
I knew my car had to get a new headlight, but as soon as I tried to start it, and then even to jump start it, I also needed to buy a ew battery.... So I did. Even 2 new tires (?) for my bicycle, or whats its called on a bike?? Anyone knows?
I tried to fix all this, but the battery was impossible to remove with my crappy tools. The headlight was wrong size. The tubes of the bike had even more holes after my hard work to change fix previous holes and change tires....
But there was no more time that day, hundred more things to do, and a friend visiting so I thought I continue another day. And I did. Lovely friends drove me so I could change that headlight. I found a new tube instead for the one that still wasnt ok, but of course the ventilator was the wrong size..... Another friend had tried to pass by to help me remove the car battery but didnt make it.
So here I am. Countryside and stuck. Okay there is buses, but at this moment I was in a hurry, and it takes crazy time o go anywhere with a bus. U have to change here and there and bla bla. And when realizing I couldnt even use my car or bike, (imagine my frontyard, car and bike in pieces, tools everywhere, me swetting and high red face) after all fighting, yes there is a war going on! ...and in a hurry for a ridinglesson..... I called and explained my situation, and these sweet ones comes and pick me up! I did my lessons, then they even invited me for dinner and they borrowed me a car to get home!
Wasnt that nice?
Otherwise, Ive been riding some! FUN! Kakao (my 3yrs horse) is back in my stable, FUN FUN FUN!
Ive followed Maroullamou to her first jumpingshow with her borrowed horse Maker. They did welll! The show was a the school I work at normaly (Im free may also!! Yay!) felt weird to be there...
Tomorrow Im going to help and see one of my kids student at a jumping show. Looking forward to!
Now my head is all empty, Ive never been this jetlagged ever. I wake up 5 am....when will it change?
The war will continue tomorrow!
Exciting huh? ;)

It was sad to leave, as it always is... get to attached to places and peolple....
The trip was nice, Andreas flew us to Million Air mext to LAX.
I was alone on my flight... about 10 + 2 hours, a bit more. I really dont mind it.
It gives me time for my self to think.

At the same time Im looking forward to go back home, meet my friends, get my horsie *wooohooooo* and Robbiedoggielove! =) Mixed feeling about it all.
Yesterday night I took a walk all alone and just sat down near te landing area, just to think trough everything Ive been trough here. Its a lot. And Ive had so many great moments, I can barely remember them all.
Back home there is loads to do. Good in one way Im not back for work at school until june, but it wil be a hard time with few money coming in..... But its worth it. But Im really really broke..... But... but... ah, well.

Me and my to pilots picked up Maggiemou at Million Air Airport last week, monday. Thats the airport next to LAX if u wonder ;) We flew over LA back to San Diego, took some photos of the town, the hollywood sign, the coast, the sunset and Sand Diego by night.
After one day on the beach in SD, we and the pilot guys flew in a cessna 172 to Vegas, spent a night there. Me and Maggie dressed up with high heels and dresses, sooo beautiful! And finaly a reson to dress up haha!
Nex day we flew over Hooverdam and Grand Canon, that was so amazing, best of the trip!
Back home, we stay at the dz (dropzone) for a few days, hanging around with all nice peolpe.
At sunday Andreas flew us along the coast/highway 1 to San Fransisco. Me and Marie/Maggan/Maggie (same person) stayed there 2 nights at hostel Adelaide. Small but nice. We walked all monday, to Golden Gate and nearly the hole city. sore feet but smiling faces! We took soooo many photos!
Wednesday we drove a rental car back to Los Angeles, of course along famous highway 1! We found this hostel in west hollywood, named Orbit, but we didnt like it..... no nice people and no nice rooms. But the street we was AWESOME! Melrose. Its such a hipp shopping street, so cool shops, very special all of them! Cool just to hang around watching. We did our best to NOT waste money....
We went downdown one day, at the night we walked from Melrose to Sunset blvd where all the clubs are. We mostly walked around, sat down for a while a The Skybar, beautiful view over LA by night.
Next day we met up with stundwoman Sandy, we had lunch at the grove (biiiiiig shopping mall) then she drove us around in Hollywood and then dropped us of there. We spent the rest of the day there, watcjing people and also a premier for a new movie....hm whats the name.. eh, tell u later. But there was so much security around it and limos just started to arrive when we had to go... Jenny picked us up and drove us back "home" to the dz.
When we got back there was a bunch of new guys here, they were really fnny so I whent straight on party with them! hihi.
Next day we judt spent in the sunshine... and also washed the campcar! ood girls ;)
Right now I just woke up..... still drunk... CRAZY. hihi. I was just supposed to drop by a friend for a glas of wine and talk about life and importent stuff. But we and another guy just had a great night with wine and wiskey, playing music until laaaate. So now Im just gonna take a blanket and lay down in the sunshine with a glass of water, watch landings and parachutes in the sky.... =)

Me, Andreas and Umberto went to a nearby airport to LAX to pick her up with 2 airplanes.
We flew back over LA after a lunch at santa monica, then along the beach back towards san diego.
In some how we struggled our way bak to the hotel, tram and bus and some questions....
Today we enjoyed the beach and starbucks most of the day!
Tomorrow same flying team is going in a 4seated Cessna to Las Vegas for a night there, then we will over Hoooverdam and Grand Canyon on our way back day after. Im so crazy looking forward this!!!

Wingwalking, skydiving, beach =)
Last saturday me and Fred went to Riverside Airshow! It was a great ride there in his cab.
Unfortunatly we got lost and went to wrong airport (there is many around here!) so we missed Margis wingwalking show, that was really sad =(
But the rest of the day was really nice, she invided us for the VIP dinner after the show, called "the survivor party" haha!
That was nice, ate some fruit, drank some rosé and chatted with fun people.
Sunday, all camppeolpe went for the windtunnel in Perris!
I joined to watch them, and did one jump at their dropzone! A fun one, Fred videotaped me. Thanks!
On monday I was invided to come and try wingwalking on Silverwings stearman! AWESOME!
We practised the some routines on ground, then we went for a over Chino hills. Beautiful!
I first climed up on the topwing, did some fun there. Then back behind the wings, best was a leaning backwards position with the feet on the top wing! cooool =)
We went to see some cool airplane at the hangars around, the museum and lunch at a small nice place.
Yeasterday we drove over the mountainas to se the sunset at the beach. We bought rosé, fresh fruits, bread and crackers, philadelphia, avocado..... and more yummi stuff.
Watching the sunset, lissen to the waves and ocean, then rest under a clear night sky with stars and a strong shining moon. THATS relaxing. We stayed quite long, until we got back home. Join all others by the fire with a beer.
And today Im gonna do packjobs to earn some money for jumping, then we will g to the dropzone in San Diego for a jump! The sunset load! Supposed to be a beatutiful dropzone, near the sea.
