By the way....

I have (after MONTHS of thinking) decided to move. Yup, me, I am going to move, yes I am. Leave the glorious city of Oslo.

Move away from the city, move away from my friends, my family and my work. Move away from all things splendid in the city, everything I take for granted (WHAT HAVE I DONE?????). My Wonderful Boyfriend and I have plans to buy a piece of land and build a house of our own, in his childhood town (if it can be called a town, it has about 4500 inhabitants, does that even qualify as a town?). I 'll be like the settlers of the old West, leaving behind everything near and dear, to a new and promised land! I will of course, have to do without quite a lot of things!! I mean, come on, THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE DECENT TEA THERE!! What am I without my tea? That's like Churchill without his cigar, Juliet without her Romeo, a bear without claws......... On the plus-side, there is a small city only 20 minutes away, HOPEFULLY I will be able to find my tea there.......... (I did say hopefully.....)

And WHY would I even think of such a thing? My Wonderful Boyfriend is to blame!! Who else?! WB could not stand the city anymore (Hey, he grew up seeing only 10 people, so I could understand that!), all the traffic, the people, the crowds etc. etc. etc. blah blah blah. That's when he decided he wanted to move AWAY from the city. As a compromise he found a job where he wanted, but comes home to me every weekend. Obviously, that did NOT work very well! Otherwise I wouldn't have decided to move!! But hey! It could be wonderful, even fantastic, enjoying the nature, the mountains and such! It is certainly a chance, but you only live once. And it is not going to happen this year, anyway. I REALLY have to get used to the idea first!!

It's Tuesday and it is raining.......... I am at work, trying to give the impression of having lots and lots of work to be done (wich I do) and being as effiecient as ever (wich I certainly am not today!). But it is SO boring!! Think I am suffering from "weather-sickness", it has sapped all the energy out of me. Do think I have to go for a little walk and buy myself a small bar of pure energy.......... Yummi!!!
