Upgrading, slowly but steady!

Wow, falling asleep at 7 pm on a friday night...and waking up again around 10 pm...what does it tell you? I must be dead tired, right?
I am so happy the weekend has come. I had a looooong week and this freezing cold doesn't make it any easier. We have been having temperatures between -25 and -30 for about 2 weeks now. A freezer!
This cold combined with work has definitely taken its toll, I guess I need to rest and take care of myself as much as I can these two days...the coming week will be even harder!
I am getting more and more work, I am happy about it, but I realized that combining work and being a wife, doesn't leave much time for other things...like time for myself and for having fun. I occasionally go out and have a nice time, but nowhere near how much I used to. Despite that, I am happy anyways!
I am very excited about our new apartment. We are moving in on tuesday and can't wait.
We still have to buy lots of furniture and decorations, but we will do it little by little, with time.
What counts to me is to get unique things that will make our home feel special and all ours...last thing I want is to buy everything from Ikea, which would make it look like any standard swedish house...no, I want something more, a special touch.
Still rococo hunting...but didn't manage to get anything yet in this specific style. I can wait.
Lately I have been getting lots of satisfaction at work, lots of compliments.
I am happy that my work is being appreciated, because everything I do I try to do it in the best way I can and I believe hard work should be rewarded.
So new apartment ( with garden and garage!), more work...I guess what I need is also a new car! Hopefully in time I will fix that too..
Let me tell you, it wasn't easy to recover from that fire that destroyed everything I had...
then moving to another continent, starting off from zero, build something and deciding to move again back to Sweden and begin everything from zero once again.
I became strong as a rock, but it feels old and new at the same time this starting off from 0 all over again. I have a need to put my feet on solid ground, that before I can seriously start off with music again.
I bought a keyboard and a microphone, that was a start at least.
If only I had a band supporting me it would be so much easier, but on my own it's all at a pause.
Oh by the way I think I forgot to mention that Amr and I have been interviewed by the newspaper about the revolution in Egypt. It seems that lots of people read it.
Here is a pic of it.
Cheers!
