Got some time to kill. I missed my morning flight to Stockholm (for those who know me, I’m sure you’re chuckling, shaking your head and thinking how typical of me – and it’s OK, I don’t blame you! ☺). Been a lot of late nights and very little sleep this week. Despite sis and my best efforts at setting two phone alarms and get up, we still managed to oversleep. Got out of the house way too late, the taxi had to take a detour; I just missed an airport shuttle and had to wait another 15 min at the train station. Got to check-in minutes before the flight and they would have let me on had it not been for my enormous suitcase. Had I been willing to leave all my belongings behind I would have made the flight but chose to sit this one out, put the suitcase in storage a bit and re-book for the next flight – about eight hours later. Oy!
Sitting at my favorite hideout: the Deichman Library downtown Oslo. I used to love studying here during high school – there is something about the tall columns, the smell of old books, the skylight, the hushed voices – that makes for a very special atmosphere. Free wireless Internet makes it even nicer!
So here I am, with an unidentified lump in my armpit (went to the Dr. who sent me to a specialist who took out some cells to look at and will give a verdict in about a week or so), an infection on my eyelid, a knot in my stomach and extreme sleep deprivation, but I’m having a blast! Reconnecting with so many old friends and acquaintances this week has been invaluable – thanks all for making my trip so memorable! Yay – got less than five hours left now ☺

Although you missed your flight, the experience will provide fodder for stories to be written later. As for the lump, my prayers are with you.
