One week later...

... I went to my doctor and He took out the stitches from my finger. Hurray =) I now just had to wait one day and I could remove the bandage(plaster) from my finger. So this morning I cleaned away old, dry blood from the wound. I even took a shower without covering my finger. It feels nice! =)
I also got some medicine from the doctor for pollen allergy and I really think they will make me better. I will know for sure in about a week =)

So I have been thinking alittle bit about lights and saving energy by switching off the lights when you leave the room. You know I live in a doormetry and they have put up these notes everywhere think environment, switch of the lights.
But if we switch the lights on and off all the time doesen`t that use more energy than if we just let the lights stay on? I mean if someone leave the room and come back many times within 5-10 minutes it can`t be good for the light bulbs.
Anywho, thats some of my thouhts...

Have a nice and blessed day.
God`s peace is with you.

My big birthday drama

After eating dinner yesterday(Monday May 2th) I was going to put the leftover pineapple in box. It was half open and I just neede to remove the lid-thingy. In seconds the can and the pineapple flew out of my hands and I graped my finger on instinct and diden`t know if I had hurt myself. Luckely for me a friend of mine(we share kitchen) were there and she found a paper to me and than I had to take a small look at my finger. It was abit bad, I thnk. I only took a sneakpeak at it(I dislike watching my own cuts). So my friend (she knew just as little as I did about what we should do) ran down the hall to another friend, but she wasen`t in. So we went down stairs hopefully there would be someone there. While we were looking for someone who seemed capable, my friend said: Only there were a nursing student around. And I thought of a friend who lives in the second floor and is just that. So we went up to her room and knocked hoping she would be in.
She was and she looked at the wound and nursed it abit. She said we should go to the ER(legevakten) and have them look at it.
Just so you know she is only in her first year of nursing school and haven`t gotten to the part were you learn when you need to stich or not.
Well we got to the emergency and filled out a form and waited for almost an hour and than they looked at it and told us to wait for a doctor to look at it.
So we waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. And when we had waited almost 4,5 hours(from the moment we got there) the doctor called my name and looked at it.
She said I needed stiches. I`m thinking; No! She`s kidding! Its not that bad. But she wasen`t kidding. I got some anesthesia just around my left pointy finger and after a little while it went all numb. I choise to look the other way so that I diden`t have to see the doctor and the nurse stiching together my finger. My friend on the other hand loved that she got so see it. You know its not that far away and she may be doing that herself.
I got home by 11.30 ish but needed like an hour to calm down and be ready to go to bed. I got to bed and had a short but good sleep.
Thank you Jesus.
What hits me is how calm I were and the peace I had through all my waiting yesterday.
Praise Jesus for that! =)

My birthday.

So I have been planning on updating my blog for a very long time, but for different reasons I haven`t done it. Lately its been because I`m having problems sleeping and that leads to me being tired and its really hard thinking through stuff. So the fact that I had a birthday party yesterday and acctually planned it is rare. But I did it =) I had help from some friends, but I`m not sure they know they helped me. Because its not allways that mcuh it takes to help. Just agree with me that what I think sounds good helps very much. And they did that.
So yesterday we were at this place called "Vaulen" at Mariero in Stavanger. Its with the see and we had barbeque and good friends. Everyone were happy and so was I. It don`t take too much planning to have a barbeque when everyone brings there own food, so thats good. So I got my party even though I was too tired to do much planning. It feels so nice! =)

Today I skiped school to get to sleep in and have a relaxed morning and lots of peaceful time with the Lord. Its been nice! I were planning on going to a cafe with a friend, but she got sick, so now its still my birthday but I don`t have anyone to go to the cafe with. Hmmm, well I did ask my sister in law(she loves to go to cafes) but she is at her parents place and than its hard to get to Stavanger. So now I`m thinking that I have to ask some friends and hopefully one of them have time to go to a cafe with me. I hope so.

Tomorrow its only 2 month till I get on the airplane to travel to Uganda and meet up with my best friend and he happens to also be my boyfriend. And when I get to meet him its been a year since we got together and more than a year since I last met him face to face. That will be fantastic, so through all my problems with sleeping looking forward to meeting him will hold me up. And offcause God always keeps me up, holds me and give me all the strength that I need, when I need it.

God bless you and God bless me.
Have a nice day.
