Today I told my husband about the insanity - he’s a professor of computer science.
Hub: So I now need to go grocery shopping with you.
Me: I’m trying to be self sufficient and they keep making it more impossible! 🤪
He’s as irritated by the idiocracy as I am.
He hits a couple of buttons in the app and it has me login again then he has me check off any coupons in their list for this specific store.
It clicks. A few weeks ago I went to a different store. Outside of the store I could pull up my card in the app. As soon as I was in the store - nope. 🧵
Adventures in living in Sweden…
The other day I went to Lidl. It was a different one than our main one as it’s under construction. I opened my app up to scan my membership card and it refuses to pop up. The person working completes scanning everything and I’m still trying. I show him the app. 🧵
Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado! 🎉
In a shocking turn, the Nobel Peace Prize was NOT awarded to someone who blows up boats in international waters, frees violent mobs who attack the nation, or sends in troops on their own people.
Honestly, why would it even be a consideration?
Always.
Now I’ve gone down an absolutely fascinating rabbit hole…
Asian Folk Metal…
A few weeks ago we were having a conversation…
The Wild One: Girls can’t rock!
Me internally: da fuq?! Where have I gone wrong?!?!!! My iPhone is known as the crack pod when it comes to music.
Me: I beg to differ.
IPhone: I Love Rock ‘N Roll by Joan Jett & The Heartbreakers.

Good morning, you beautiful humans.
We have some good momentum going into this week ahead of Thursday’s hearing. Let’s use it! Call your reps, demand they fire RFK Jr. They’re listening- we’ll see which of them steps up to do the right thing.

It is that I will need to meet with a urologist again and the last time 2 years ago that was his reaction. My cancer was not back - my issue was due to a radiation side effect. He corrected it, but it was a lot of unnecessary stress due to his comment.
I have a kidney stone, but because there was a tiny bit of blood 🩸 in my urine we have to treat it as if the cancer is back so another CT scan with contrast. The scan itself isn’t a biggie. 🧵
It’s rather fascinating that after cancer treatments even after you’ve been NED for 5 years anything being different is treated as a potential recurrence. 🧵
Always fun!
We have a noob skateboarder in the house! 🛹 So far he’s loving it. The beginners board is from Ookkie and has step ups to help the kiddos along the way.
The heating pad laying on the bed on high waiting for me to lay down…
The Wild One (5 years old): Bellows out, “I deserve this!” Flopping down on the heating pad… 😳🤨🤣😂💀
Every morning for drop off everyone gets an individual talk from to have lots of fun with their friends, listen to their teachers, not to bite anyone, and to have a super awesome day - Quincy, The Wild One, then Robin with some adjustments.
Throwback photo myself, Quincy (french bulldog) and son.
Nothing like being woken up by a nightmare taking place in a hospital! 😳 Thankfully Quincy rescued me in my dream and was sound asleep right next to me!
Leaving our house this morning, it was a beautiful sunny cold day. As we descended down our hill you could see the pockets of fog in the valleys. By the time we were 20 minutes from our house it was this. 😳 #WelcomeToSweden #Göteborg #CrazyWinter #TheFogHasWon
The amount of joy a pillow fort can bring! 😍
Jim Acosta, we are with you.
13th amendment

The Trump-Vance administration's funding freeze is illegal and causing chaos.
It has jeopardized funding for:
- Police officers
- Firefighters & first responders
- Childcare & schools
- Health care services
And much more.
Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, his actions will make you suffer.
Thank you to the Americans and service organizations who called out the damage Trump's funding freeze would do. We must remain vigilant as they try to govern through, chaos, division, and fear.
Governing through chaos and confusion will not save taxpayer dollars, lower prices, or deliver solutions to working Americans.
The victims of last night’s tragic crash in the Potomac were people’s sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. Praying for those we lost and those they left behind today.
This morning when getting everyone off to school/work I all of the sudden hear the repeated knocking of the woodpecker. 😳 It’s the LAST day of January in Sweden! 🥶 Go back on vacation woodpecker! It’s way too early for building your nest! 🪹
