On life, health and nature

  • Post-covid 💉

    Finally, we are through the pandemic. I feel pleased that I have been able to work throughout these years. At that time, we had to count the number of customers in the pharmacy. Clean the counters with disinfectants, keep distance and wear a medical facemask. I sometimes wear a facemask as a reminder due to the flu and covid. Unfortunately, a lot of people still suffer from covid, but symptoms are not that severe due to vaccination. I am impressed that vaccines were invented so rapidly. Simultaneously, we have been introduced to new technology by using mRNA.

    Mankind has crossed boundaries and pushed health and life forward.

  • Balance

    I am happy that I again have my usual habits. To save time, I go for a little longer workouts. Often strength, and later cardio. Or vice versa. I know my pulse and that is important in doing the interval training that I will do tomorrow. There are so many benefits to going for workouts. That reduces my cravings for sweets. Anyway, I try to keep a balance, and yesterday I did the traditional Christmas saffron cakes. I do that every Christmas since I love going for long winter walks, and when I get home I have a cup of hot chocolate with saffron cakes. This balance is difficult to keep, I mean sweets and exercise, but I try to keep up the good work.

    After two hours of exercise today, I had a selfie. A dogma photo on the go, showing a smiling, but tired Anna.

  • Name day

    Friday, and it is my name day. I like the 9th of December and I would like to say happy name day to everybody namned Anna 🎉. According to Christmas tradition, it is the day when you soak lutefish which I don´t like. Cannot eat lutefish and fermented herring, unfortunately. Today is just a mini blog for all Annas, and I would like to connect to previous writing where the theme was spies. I haven´t listened so much to Spice girls, but this song is somehow very nice. And it gives energy. Perhaps they were inspired by this poem?

    What are little boys made of?
    What are little boys made of?
      Snips, snails
      And puppy-dogs’ tails
    That’s what little boys are made of

    What are little girls made of?
    What are little girls made of?
      Sugar and spice
      And everything nice
    That’s what little girls are made of

    R. Southey (1774–1843)
