Once up on a time there was only one program and I found it interesting. This show lost my attention when SVT decided that it was a show that was going to travel to several cities. That was a few years ago and they are still doing that. This year it has apparently been a duel between songs and from each program 2 songs have gone directly and 2 to a “second chance”. I haven’t seen one of them but I decided to watch the final yesterday as it would probably be a subject discussed at work tomorrow.
I do admit the quality and variation of songs were surprisingly good and I did enjoy it. (ouch that hurt to admit) The two top songs were also my favourite which is also a surprise. They were both different towards the others songs. So who won?
A very famous opera singer called Marlena Ernman! Her song was a combination of opera and pop. The bad news today is that she already has an appointment that day! What? Don’t they check things like this before competing?
Nr 2 said in the paper today that she was happy that she didn’t win since her record company is so small that if they had won they would have gone broke. Why bother to take part in the competition? I know, the publicity for the song and company.

Me again - Stella
I decided to write tonight again. Mummy forgot to close the laptop, hihi. She never does that when she leaves me alone anymore, wonder why?
Today she decided that we should try some new road to the forest. I guess that it would have been alright if she had known which way we were going to take. She didn’t. She had a map and yet we walked the wrong way. She blamed it on the map as it didn’t show where the path went. O boy! Blaming a piece of paper!
Anyway we did get to the forest. Now she took out the map again and told me that there were several roads that we hadn’t walked and that we should try. She said I might see something interesting. So we start walking along a snowy road. I tell you – no cars had gone down that road for a long time. As I guessed mummy didn’t let me go where the interesting stuff was. She pulled me back on to the so called road. After a while we reached a stop but a small path done by other dogs with their mums and dads. We started on it but mummy got the shivers and decided that we should turn back and take our usual way. She chickened out! This time it wasn’t the maps fault, this time she blamed the weather and it was getting darker and she didn’t want to walk in the forest when it got dark. Promised we would try the road some other time. Not sure I believe it though.
Opps, she is returning. Talk to you later.

It started so well
This day started so beautiful. The sky was clear blue, no wind, the snow was glittering and the sun was actually warm. It was spring in the air. People smiled. Stella was at her best. Well … that was until we were heading home. She constantly finds new ways to stall. Today it was coughing. This afternoon was pretend to pee.
This afternoon the weather turned. It got grey, damp and the fog got thicker and lower for every step we took. And so did my mood, not to mention the dog owners and joggers we met in the park. To make it even worse the lovely sun had melted a lot ice so it was wet and muddy.
I guess that this just shows how important the weather is for ones well being.

Pang!!!
“And first team leaving the starting line is from Carema Rehab. They are pulsing through the snow towards Prague…. Will they make it? Ouch! The first fall! How many victims will the icy road claim? Whew, she quickly up on her feet again, catching up what she lost.” :)
Tomorrow the walking competition starts. Starting point is Malmö with Trelleborg as the next city. And 606 km later we will arrive in Prague. My competitive comrades and, I have to admit even myself, have tested the step counters. I know for instance that Stella’s and my long winter time walk is about 13 200 steps. I do, on a day that I sit a lot or drive to my patients, about 10 000 steps etc. I get to convert my 105 minutes of yoga every Wednesday into 60 steps/minute. I am in good faith that I shall make it to Prague if nothing happens the next three months. I’m sad to say that one of us is not taking part in this. I tried to convince her by saying that we do a lot of walking at work and she didn’t need to do any more but no. :(
So these legs are made for walking ….

Conference
Thursday I went to a conference in Stockholm that was about Dementia. My morning started at four since I had to have breakfast and take Stella for a walk before boarding the train at 7. And I didn’t enter my front door until 7.30 pm. A long day!
I went to last year’s conference and it was so good that when I saw the program I knew I just had to go. Several of the papers where about the testing equipment I have and it’s always interesting to find out what the latest studies say about them. We were also the first to hear about a study that had just finished at the end of February. It was about Lewy Body dementia. Just think of Don Quixote and you will a good picture of that type of dementia. Beside Frontal dementia (change of personality) I think that must be the worst type as your physic also is affected and before the dementia affects you.
Something that hit me was that I have probably worked to long in this business as I knew several of the medical firms represent that were their. I know it is nice to meet them but I almost go a déjà vu from a few weeks ago when I went to the homepage education and I was the one who was an inventory with my 8 years in the company. Any way the medical firms had plenty of candy and I did some information and material I needed.
It’s probably a bad thing to say but I really enjoy my work that involves the investigation concerning if a person has dementia or if it is something else.

My turn
While mummy is looking at the TV I decided to give this a try. I hate this machine, when mummy sits by it she always says that she needs to use both hands. I really don’t know why. I use one paw and have no problems at all.
I am going to tell you all about today. First of all it takes forever to get mummy up. I mean I started just after she turned of the clock radio and I had to try several times until it at least had gone 2 hours. I’m nice to her when I try to wake up, I guess that is why it takes so long. Perhaps I should bite her instead or make her bed?
When I finally got up she had the nerve to sit by the computer for a while. Hey!! I wanted to go out and check what had happened during the night. It took her forever to get dress. I really can’t understand why she has to have so many things on her. Today it was only -15. Ok, I admit it was cold and I got some cramps in my back legs. Mummy helped me loosen them up and blew some warm air on my paws.
I looked for my bird friends but they weren’t playing in the stream today. I guess it was too cold for them too. I saw them yesterday, they tease me by flying just in front of me. I nearly did catch a wild duck when mummy looked another way though. In the forest I got the trace of something wonderful, a wild animal. I even saw where it had walked but mummy held my leash too hard for me to run off. That is one thing I haven’t understood since I came here. I could help her, see to we have some nice meat at home, I’m trained for it but does she let me? No, she just takes a harder hold on my leash, sometimes she even pulls me some other direction. If I only wore a collier instead of a harness!
Sometimes I don’t like her. That’s when I can scent or see a handsome male. What’s the purpose of being in the heat if I can’t get to meet a male? Fabian preferred mummy last time I saw him, just because she has biscuits in her pockets. Oskar is too old these days and I haven’t seen him for a while. The other males around here are so small. Today I saw a berner sennen and a flat coated retriever. They were both really handsome. The other evening there was a nice tollare (don’t know what they are called in English) in my park. Mummy just embarrasses me by telling their people that I’m in the heat.
We have had a calm day. I like it when I know where I have my mummy. She has been sawing. I like that because when I go to get a cuddle she puts it aside. That is why I would never do anything to her sewing. This thing however I do not like.
We have been for walks. When we got home after our evening walk she made some dinner for us but I didn’t like what she gave me. Well, I do like chicken, just not today. I’ll just chew on my “chew” and my bone.
Tomorrow when mummy is at work I hope she forgets to close the lid of this think. Then I can play with it again. Just wonder which keys I’m going lift up this time?
Better go now, looks like mummy wants to go out for a pee before bedtime.

I have too much wind in my life
Thursday I finally had my Ayurveda health consultation. It was interesting but the result mean a big change has to be done especially in the food department.
My body was compared with a fire. It needs logs to burn, wind to start but if you either put to much logs or wind it will shut down. I apparently have too much wind, heck I’m blowing full storm.
I’m a Vata person but I have to honest. When I read the description of that kind of person I definitive can’t see myself. Slender? What a joke!!

This one is better and fits better on me:
http://www.holisticonline.com/ayurveda/ayv-vata-characterisitics.htm
So what will happen? I have got a few yoga practices that I need to do everyday, I need to do Yoga Nidra at least 3 times a week and I need to meditate every day. I can do that!
The hardest part will be in the food department. I’m not suppose to eat anything that have been frozen, been warmed in the micro or is cold. Cheese and bananas are in the past. Sugar too.
I need to eat a hot meal at lunch time and rest 10 min. Lunch is the most important meal for me, not dinner as today. I have been in contact with my boss and instead of having to put 30 min extra on each day (I seem to never be ready to go home at 16.30) I’ll take 1½ hours lunch instead. I’m not it’s going to work but I’ll give it a try. Even a couple days per week will be a success right now. I can drink 2 cups of my beloved black tea after that herbal tea is prefered. " Tea" hot water during the day
I’m going to get everything in writing from Mattias which is a good thing for beside the things I have mentioned I can’t remember anything. Well, one more thing I do remember and that is how blank my mind went when he asked me what I did cook. I’m going to get some recipes too which is excellent as I’ll be doing food that I have never tried before.
So here I go!! A new life awaits around the corner!
