It´s been awhile

It´s been awhile from my last writing in here. I´ve been kind of busy. Busy thinking, feeling and doing everything else. I´ve had problems concentrating to writing.. or sitting at one place. And yet I´ve been so lazy. I´ve done nothing really. Except knitting. And reading. And watching TV. But now I thought I´d give it a try.. I´ll try to sit still long enough to publish this post..

So, where should I start... Maybe the first day of this month.. Thursday. I took off from my appartment quite early, headed towards Salo. I had agreed to meet my cousin and my brothers wife and friend there and continue the trip with them to my brothers place for a couple of days. The reason why we met in Salo was simple. Otto, son of my cousin, wanted to get to a carousel. And so we walked to market fair. And Otto got to a carousel. A couple carousels. Here is a picture of him in one of them.

The day was quite nice, sun was shining and yet it was cold, it wasn´t too cold. Even my nephew, that cute little thing, was so brave and interested about everything around him, that he missed a couple of naps and a couple of meals too.. but boy, was he hungry and tired when we got home. :)

So, I spent couple of days at my brothers place, had nice time just playing cards, eating well, talking, amusing that little sugar.. I can´t really say that my friends tend to sit evenings at my place (or vice versa) playing cards and just.. relax. Can you believe that even though I had my laptop with me, I took it from my bag for the first time on the fourth day of my journey...!!!

On Saturday I took my brothers car and my nephew and we went to my dads. Brother wanted to have some private time (sleeping) with his wife so we took off with the little boy. Spent the Saturday at my dads. The little fellow is growing so fast. Seemed he had some growing pain in his legs ´cause he wouldn´t sleep until I massaged his legs so that he calmed down. Or he´s getting more teeth.. but he fell asleep after I massaged his legs so...

On Sunday I visited my mum. Packed the car full of stuff, then drove back to dads, packed the boy and his stuff into the car and headed back to my brothers. We went through all the stuff I brought from my mum and on Monday I came back home to my own appartment. And since then I´ve basically done nothing...

Lately I´ve felt I should be somewhere else, doing something else.. I´ve been dreaming about travelling, maybe to London or Paris, all around in Italy.. maybe even work abroad. But as always it is a question about money. In December I´ll get my tax return, but is it enough.. I do have rent to pay, student loan and all the other stuff... will there be anything left for travelling..? At least for a weekend in London.. or a day in Stockholm?? Anything would be nice change at the moment.. I feel like I don´t belong here, I´m feeling restless.. yet I wouldn´t want to stay away too long and miss to see that little cutie to grow, learn to talk and walk.. It´s hard you know, wanting to be the best aunt ever... ;)
