Hope to see you there.

Back again.

Wow, haven't thought about blogging for almost a month now. Been too busy having fun with Sugar and enjoying summer. Everything seems to be going well though. I've been doing some good improvements on the climbing. Yesterday I climbed a 5c. Not clean, but still counts. I think with a little effort, I can do it clean. Possibly next time.

I've also got a membership to the climbing hall now. So now I can go there and climb every damn day if I wanted to. Wohoo ! Very awesome. But I will probably stick to the days Sugar goes there. It's more fun with company. Although the more time I spend there, the more ppl I talk to. So can't really say it feels lonely there in any way. :P

Well well, can't stay here chatting about everything and nothing. I've got some shit to deal with. I have to admit tho. Right now, it would feel very nice to just cozy down in the couch and watch a movie. It's cold outside and I still need to get some more relaxation in. With the exercise pain and my body not being overly perky right now.

In honesty, I will probably only do half of what I need to do. But it will still be more than dong nothing at all.

It's on.

I thought today was going to be a day of climbing and exercising, but I was wrong. Sugar quit work early and we went to the hall. Very nice and much appreciated even tho it was hellishly warm. I did 3 routes and some bouldering. Even got a free lesson in how to belay a person. And got to try it out. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. A nice surprise. I really have to go get that green climbing card soon. It would be very handy. Went home with a nice feeling of progress in my system. Some things are getting easier and easier. Happy happy joy joy.

Been busy, you know.

I've been climbing and spending a lot of time with Sugar. He's been on vacation now for a few weeks. Awesome times. We're going climbing again today actually. Outdoors. I'm loving it. I've noticed I'm getting stronger. Been trying to climb some 5c routes. It's a challenge alright. But I did get further last time. Gotta keep at it.

Next week he'll be back at work again. Gonna use some of the free time to cath up on a few things. Possibly. Possibly not. Also need to plan on when and how to get some of my stuff back here. I need to take a trip back home. But I really don't wanna. I wanna stay here and have a good time. Being happy doing awesome stuff.

Well, gotta get to bed now. Need to get up early to go do the awesome climbing stuff.

Shit's going well.

This climbing shit is going well. Yesterday we went at it again, and I managed to climb a 5a. We thought I did a 5b too, but then they changed it to 4c. Either way, I did 4 routes and tried a harder one, 5c. It's very fun, but damn. My arms can't really keep up with my enthusiasm. But it's awesome. I'm very happy that I finally managed to get my ass of the ground and up on the wall.

And so far I haven't had any issues with my "normal" pain. Barely had any exercise pain either. I'm happy that the first one is staying away, not so much the exercise one. But it's ok. Either way it looks like my thoughts about the swimming was right. It was probably the cold water that gave me so much pain afterwards. Too bad I didn't think of that sooner. This exercise is much more my style.

Aloe.

Random picture day again. Yeah, this happens a lot. Anyways. Got this some weeks ago from a good friend, last time I was here actually. Noticed when I came back here this time that It's been growing very well. Very nice. Very nice indeed. I wasn't so sure it would. Glad to be wrong.

Roped.

So yesterday was my second time climbing top rope. Wohoo !!! I only did one route, because I was already a bit tired from trying to do some bouldering. Not too successful, they haven't been too nice with the supposedly "easy" ones. Good thing we've made new ones. 

Anyway it went sort of well. There are two boulder problems that I can do now, and two rope routes. Probably a good start. Can't do much before my arms are tired anyway. And I need to keep up the weight lifting at home. My arms need more strength. But other than that, I'm happy and quite pleased.

And here's a random picture from one of my walks. Just for fun.

Randomeness, the cake.

Because I've had my B-day.

A week ago now, and ofc there had to be cake.

Completely Vegan friendly also.

Very nice.

Life.

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

This is my new favorite quote. I think it has some sense to it. And I'm getting closer, I can feel it. The lines are getting blurrier by the day and time. Soon I'll be all over it and god knows what can happen then. It's gonna be awesome. 

Today my harness came. I'm so excited. I've tried it on, hang tested it too. And for a while now I've been sitting in the couch practicing to tie the knot and to tie in into my harness. It went very well I think. Hopefully I'll be testing it out on the wall tomorrow. Yes yes yes yes. Awesomes in the making.

Shit's going on.

Been a few days. I've had my B-day and my foot is way better. Finally got a set of climbing shoes and I've already tried them on. They are, as expected, a bit on the tight side. But I'll grown into them. Sugar bought them for me as a B-day gift.

We went to the hall yesterday. First time using them on the wall. And I realised quite soon that it isn't enough with just the shoes. So today I ordered a harness too. I'm a little bit surprised my self. But I think I can do this, I will do this.

I can hardly wait. We're supposed to go again tomorrow. Too bad the harness won't be here by then. But I think it should be here before the weekend. It only has to travel from Stockholm. Too bad the hall is summer closed on weekends now.

The Chestnut mystery.

I found a tree that intrigued me.

Some kind of chestnut, but not the "everyday" kind you see here. A search online suggested that it's a Rödblommig hästkastanj. Or in eng, Red horse-chestnut. Never seen them before. It also said "common in Swedish gardens". But I don't think so. Could be tho that maybe I just haven't been in the right gardens.

Anyway. Before this one, I've only seen the ones that had white blossoms. Horse-chestnut I think. Would be nice to see a real Chestnut tree tho. The eatable kind. This city is just one the edge of their "comfort zone". I'm told that they like to live in zone 1-2. And this place is 2-3. So I guess it's not impossible at least.

City Bitches.

So yesterday I got the note from the school, telling me that my city turned down my application for the education I applied for. I'm pissed. They tell you that you have all the means necessary to re-educate your self into another kind of work. And then they just turn down your application. Bitches. Although I was prepared for this answer. I'm still not happy about it. My hope for this winter is fucked. Better start thinking about an alternative.

Awesome.

I did go out. It was lovely weather. Sugar found my lost sunglasses. And I burned my shoulders and neck fairly badly in the sun. Watched topless guys climb rocks and had a chat with a girl I've seen in the gym before. Very nice. All in all, a very awesome day. Could only have been better if I had been able to climb my self. But that time will come. Now, I have stuff to do. Give my arms some workout and take my ankle for a rehabilitating walk. And maybe sit down in the sun and do nothing for a while. Just because I can. 

Hello Iris.

Can't type today. I'm out living my life. I think. Unless it's raining heavily. Then I'm probably parked in front of the tv watching climbing with Sugar. But either way. Here's a picture of a lovely lady I met on a walk recently.

@Sugar's place..

Or rather, in his window.

A random generic red Geranium that he's fostering for me. Seems to be doing just fine. :) Blossoming an all.

My first...

So, yes. Went climbing on Tuesday anyway. Very proud. It wasn't easy to start climbing with many people there and Sugar and his friends watching. But I did it. Very awesome. Started working on a problem I haven't done before. And ofc, one unprepared fall later.... a twisted ankle. My first climbing related accident.

You have no idea how pissed I am that this happened. Good thing Sugar still had his "aircast" from when he got injured. So I borrowed that. And I didn't hurt my ankle as bad as he did, so it won't take me half a year to get back up again. But I'm counting on probably two weeks or so at least. Can only wait and see I guess.

On one hand I don't want to baby my self too much. But on the other, I don't know how careful I should be with this. Crap cakes and bitch buns. I'ma go and pop my foot up now and rest a bit. On the bright side it's a holiday on Friday so it's an extra long weekend. Three whole days of Sugar instead of two. :) Yey !!!

*Poop*, the update.

Because i can.

And now in a much better mood although still alone, and apparently it's raining outside. So yes the hall will probably be full. Shit happens. Anyway, I decided to perk my self up by getting a haircut. Quick and easy since I do it my self. And now I've given the blog a face lift too. Gonna need to take a new selfie for it tho. Since my profile pic is old and inaccurate. Oh well. If only I could lose my headache now. 

*Poop*

Today is climbing day. But the weather outside isn't overly peachy. Which means there will probably be a lot of people at the climbing hall. *poop* With a little luck, most of the might be busy with the top ropes. But I'm still a bit hesitant to climb. Stupid mind. Silly me.

I got stuck thinking about my future again last night, well, almost all day yesterday. So I'm not overly peachy either. Feels like my head is trying to make more problems where there really is none. At least not as big as my head want's it to be. So I'm having a somewhat bad day.

Gonna listen to some music and relax and see if maybe I can get into a better mindset before Sugar quits work and it's time to go. One can always hope.

Oops !

A bit of randomeness from last Thursday. ( Because I still can't let it go lol.) Apparently at some point, I managed to hit Sugar with my camera. *cough* In the face. *cough* I had it in a string around my neck. We didn't think much of it after that. But I had to take a pic of it now. I guess it hit him in just the right wrong spot. Now he kinda looks like he's been in a fight. Oops...

I did it again !

Mwahaha. I went climbing again yesterday. :) Indoors this time, at the climbing gym Sugar always goes too. It was almost empty when we came there so I went for it. And happy I did. I even got Sugar and one of his friends to build a problem that was easy enough for me to climb.

Tried not to climb too much. Didn't want to end up in pain as I can get when I do stuff. But it went well. Practically no pain at all, and hardly any workout pains today either. I'm almost a bit disappointed. But it's good to know. Next time I can climb a bit harder without worries.

I'm happy I've finally started climbing. I definitely think this is a sport for me. Much better than swimming. I agree, swimming isn't bad. But I think the cold water gives me more pain, so a sweaty sport is probably a lot better. I hate being cold anyway and water has never been my best friend.

But, back to the climbing. I think, if things keep going well like this. That I'll start trying top roping soon too. Gotta stay positive and keep working.

The man, the myth.

A pic from said Bouldering adventure.

Boulder galore.

I had a most excellent day yesterday. Went out climbing with Sugar, two of his friends, and the gf of one of them. New people make me worried but she was just a peach. All in all it was a very awesome experience.

Usually they go lead climbing outside, but this time it was bouldering. Never seen it, never done it, irl. But now I've got some good shots of it. And to my own ( and probably theirs too ) surprise, I even tried climbing.

It was awesome. They were all very nice and sweet and helping. I know this already but it was still very nice. I had to take some help but in the end I did top it. My first outdoors boulder. I have to do this again.

So now I'm even more interested in getting my self a pair of climbing shoes. I have to keep this up. Went out today to see if I could find some shoes to try. I might have found a pair. But I would like to try more.

There's a special brand that I'm interested in. But looks like I gotta go to Sthlm to find them. Not sure if the neighbor city has them. No worries. I'll get there eventually. Preferably sooner than later.

No-go.

I've slept but I'm tired. And my internal organs are in turmoil. I suspect too much dairy and too little water. I would, atm, just like to go back to bed. I don't even feel like playing. I guess I'm having a slightly worse day than normal. And even tho I would like to tell it to go f**c of, I can agree that maybe I just need a little rest today. I'm not really feeling down at least, just experiencing an annoying lack of energy and willpower. *Sigh*

Interesting find.

Was outdoors last weekend and watched people climb. Awesome as always. Got to see a new place I've never been to before too. Ofc I wouldn't be me if I didn't check out the plants in the area. I found a cute one that I've never seen before. It's a "Mullein". ( Kungsljus in Swedish.) Also called flannel leaf or velvet plant. Very appropriate, the leafs are so very soft and nice. Haven't seen how it looks while in bloom. But it still looks like something I'd probably want to have in my garden so I might just pop back there when I have one and take a few seeds or a plant. 

Random picture day, Geranium.

Because I love seeing the buds.

And want to share.

Another first.

Yes, something I haven't done before is happening in the garden. I planted some artichokes recently. Got them from a friend that didn't want them in her garden any more. And I thought, why not. I planted on a fairly ok day, but right after we started to get more cold days and nights again. Got me a bit worried. So I'm happy to see that at least one of them is still alive, and apparently growing. Hope to see lots and lots of babies here.

The garden ninja.

This little fellow. Cuz you never see him coming. Google translate says it's a "King bed ( or meadow ) Lily". He's so easy to miss while growing up. I moved him from the grass last year after we found him. We only saw him because he was blooming. Before that, it just looked like a weed or thick grass. 

I know there's a white one out there in the garden somewhere too. I had a look too see if I could find it and move it into this flowerbed too. Would be sad to see it lost, but I couldn't find it sadly. But until next spring, I'm gonna try and see if I can get some seeds of this one and plant some more. Would be awesome. 

Random picture day, Clematis.

I'd say it's a bit early.

But if she want's to bloom, I'm not gonna argue.

Surprise in the kitchen.

This isn't mine. But I thought it was cute.

I was in the kitchen yesterday waiting for the dinner to get ready, when I found this single little pink flower growing under a big leaf. The flower belongs to my step father, he got it last year on his B-day. 

African Violets, the babies.

My two latest babies are doing awesome. So happy to see more flowers on the pink one. And the blue one has started to bud up too. I guess I won't be here when he blooms. Gonna have to ask my mom to take a pic of it and send me. Still awesome. <3

Summary.

So many days of updates and then randomness.

Haven't been blogging much again. But I've been drawing more. It's gone better than expected. Besides trying to get my sleeping hours in check, I've tried to draw more. Since it's something I like and something I would like to be better at. And you won't get better if you don't practice. Haven't posted the pics here but if you check the link to the right they're on my instagram acc.

And soon, soon I'll get out of this allergy infested house. Don't get me wrong. I love my family and spending time with them. But the allergies, god. It's trying to kill me. These last 2 weeks or so I've been using a mask daily when I'm not in my room. It looks so silly but it does help with the breathing. I've been counting down the time now because I'm planning on going down to Lkpg again after my sister and mom has had their B-day. It's just a little over a week left now. I can hardly wait.

I'm not so sure what I'll be doing with my plants tho. The weather outside is still bad and not fit for tiny helpless seedlings. And I don't know how long I'll be there. Hopefully I'll be gone for a while. We'll see. Maybe my mom can take care of them. I will take a select few with me, if I can. I have a plant experiment that I need to bring down to Sugar.

Anyways. That's how it is. Hope to see some more posts here soon. Ta ta.

My day.

That is, it's my name in the calendar today.

So my mom bought me a little gift. New tea jars.

*little happy dance*

Oh!

Now we know what the mystery plant was/is.

Geranium surprise.

Omg omg omg. Look what I got the other day. A friend had a new Geranium and it was full of seed spears. I took a few seeds and will get more in a while. We don't know if they're fertile. And we absolutely don't  know how the flower will look if the seeds are fertile. So this will be Very interesting.

*tiny happy dance* 

Evka.

I'm sorry. I really couldn't help my self this time.

My latest babe. "Evka", Geranium. 

Oh my.

Look at that.

It seems my tiny Orchid wants to bloom.

Silly me has forgotten the color of the flowers so this will be interesting.

Random Picture Day.

"Little Lady"

African Violet Surprise.

A friend came by a few days ago and had these babies for me. A very awesome surprise. She'd been to a convention of sorts for African Violets and bought them for me. Happy happy joy joy. They are two different mini Violets. One of them had a bud growing. And just the other day it started blooming. It's so tiny and cute. The flower is just about a cm across, and the leafs are about 1,5-2 cm max. The other one is slightly larger in the leafs but not by much. Oh I'm so happy,  I love them. :-)

Strangers in the garden.

We have no idea what it is.

But what ever it is, we must have planted it last year.

Sansevieria Cylindrica.

A new babe in my room. I would say window but I'm actually keeping this one further in the room. The care instructions and I are agreeing that it should be happy there. I guess we'll see in a while if it's right. Either way, found this one in Ikea. I've seen bigger versions in flower stores but they've all been braided or something like it. Didn't like that. This one I had an "insta love" for tho.

Sick...

I am so not friends with my allergies right now. It's been on my case since I came back home. I am guessing, that it does't like my moms new dogs. It could also have something to do with the fact that I was away for quite a while and my system didn't like to come back to this. Either way it's eating up my patience quite fast. I'm quite tired and slow because of this. But I do have things to show. I'm just waiting for a day with more energy in it. *sigh*

Random Picture Day, Bella.

The queen of the house

<3

Seedlings.

I'm so unsure how this summer will be and what I'll be doing. So I haven't planned on growing a lot of seeds this time. But I will plant some flower seeds anyway. If not for me then at least my mom will have something pretty to look at.

Lisa.

I've got this pretty little thing in the front of my window. Grown from seeds I planted last summer. I don't know why I like this one. But I do. And you can't find it anywhere nowadays. If you look hard tho, you can find seeds. I was so happy when I did. I plan on letting this babe out in the greenhouse this summer. Hopefully she'll grow big and last a long time.

Crucified.

I have a strange love of crosses.

I am not religious in any way. I don't even belong to a church. But I love crosses. I haven't bought any in a long time now. Cuz I've told my self that there's no room for it in my budget. The other day my sister came and gave me a little present. 3 different crosses. This one is my fav.

Plant ER.

Trying to save this babe.

I'm not entirely sure it will work.

But I'll try.

New babies.

The blossoming sweetie on the left is "Little Lady". She's a "compact" Geranium. Never had one of these before, so this will be interesting. She's supposed to stay fairly small, but we'll see how that goes. 

The tiny baby on the right is "Katy". This years "flavor" apparently. She was sort of an impulse buy really, but I couldn't help my self. She looked so lonely and tiny. ( And was freakishly cheap. )

I hope they'll be happy here.

Puppy Love, still growing.

Look how big they're getting. :)

I'm still very happy that my mom decided to get them.

Even tho my allergies and my nose thinks otherwise.

Baby Orchid.

One of the Orchids that belong to my mother has decided that it wanted to be a parent. I've read about this, apparently it's something that mostly happens when the plant feels that it's in danger och dying and want's to make sure it will carry on anyway.

In which case I'm not surprised that it happens to the Orchids here. I'm pretty sure the environment here isn't ideal for them. With the dust from the birds and the sometimes very randomized water supply. Anyhow, will be interesting to see if it survives into a plant or not. 

Geranium Love.

My Blueish Princess.

Another Kind Of Random.

Found these little ones on one of the outdoors climbing trips we made while I was down in Lkpg. I've never seen them before and have absolutely no idea what they are. The plants they remind me of are not supposed to be able to live in this climate. So.... I dunno.

Pretty none the less.

Very Random Picture Day.

This Lady belongs to my mother.

First Orchid I've seen with green in the flowers.

Random picture day.

One of my older African Violets.

Started blooming just before I left Lkpg.

Yey!

I've got an awesome new shirt.

A late part of my B-day gift from last year.

I love it. :-)

Surprice.

Finally "home".

Was greeted by this awesome baby in my room.

The last of the African Violet leafs has grown.

Found 2 flowers blossoming and budding.

And only one plant died. 

Not that bad.

Musse.

.RIP.

My most beloved baby.

You will be missed. 

I love you.

Hoya galore.

I love this flower. 

She's a very slow grower but damn those flowers.So pretty and such a nice fragrance. The first bunch of flowers are still blooming and now the other three are getting close too. And... I noticed today that there is a fourth set of buds growing. Little Miss Tease is going all out this time it seems.

Spring.

Random cuteness I've found lately on my daily walks.
Love Spring.

Hoya.

She's blooming again. And she's got 3 more clusters of buds growing quickly. I guess we're not the only ones feeling the spring coming around the corner now. 

Up the walls.

Mr Awesome has a fan club. I spotted it before he did, a little while back. They call him their "Peter Parker". It's so cute. :) It's two guys, fairly new to the bouldering scene. But from what I've seen they're doing a good job. And so is Mr Awesome. This pic is from one of the last sessions before they redid the bouldering room. It's had a paint job on one of the walls now and all the routes are rebuilt.  

I admit, I haven't taken as much pics lately as I used to in the beginning. It's because I'm thinking more about trying to get me up on the wall soon. Not sure how soon it will be but I'm working on it atleast. And speaking of working out. I've started exercising. Just some small stuff i can do my self at home. But it's fun so far and feels nice. And I want some more strength i my body before I start trying the walls again.
