Another day in Sweden

It seems like I am always tired, I guess that is the jet-lag though. I know I'm tired because absolutely anything upsets me, no matter how small.

Anyways, my bags finally arrived yesterday. One of them looks like it was ran over by the plane because so many things inside were broken. I spent more than 5 hours picking bits of glass out of everything. Anything plastic had to be washed, anything out of fabric will be washed tomorrow, and a few things had to just be tossed because I couldn't get the glass bits out. The final result of damage was a destroyed glass pie pan, a dented muffin tin, a broken tic tac toe puzzle game, a broken hairband, a tossed binder, a dip mix with a whole in it (and a bag smelling of spices), a slightly bent out of shape suitcase, a leaky bottle of cough syrup, a shampoo bottle without a lid, and a much abused mandolin. The worst part of all of this was the cleanup. It took me forever to pick up the glass bits. And the glass bits that were stuck in cough syrup... ugh. I've got to admit, my bag has an interesting aroma now... dip mix, cough syrup, and shampoo. Even though the shampoo stayed in the bag, the scent was just lovely. I'm surprised with the cough syrup though, it is still safety sealed and was in a plastic container.

My goals for today include taking a long bath, going for a walk, going to ICA, finish unpacking, and maybe remember to eat. The long bath is because every muscle in my body still hurts from the airplane. My leg muscles hurt especially much, probably due to going from sitting for 11 hours to running to catch a plane, followed by more sitting. If it holds off raining for awhile going for a walk in the sun will help me adjust time zones. I want to buy David some stuff for breakfast from ICA. And maybe something other than cornflakes for myself to eat today. Maybe I'll splurge and buy something with protein in it... like falukorv. Unpacking needs to be done so that I can see the floor of this room. It's a disaster right now. I've managed to trash the entire apartment with my junk. I need to clean it up today.

Well, that should give me enough to do to keep busy. Yesterday I didn't have much to do until the afternoon since I was stuck in the apartment waiting for my bags to arrive.
