  And done: I found that a pipe was popped out, a leg. Under tension. I spent some time thinking how to fix it without injuries. Used a lashing-strap. Wrapped a couple of times around the top of the leg and then pulled on the ends from a safe distance and with the foot as a lever. Easy! Used the same lashing strap to put the last spring in. Could not find the dedicated tool. I usually use a spring to tension and slip in the rest of the springs.

  Went to Oslo Deichman library with the fam and read my own book. First in the seasons series by #KarlOveKnausgaard, but second for me because I already read Spring, before checking on Wiki what is the order one should read the books. I actually secretly hope my oldest will pick them up cause in her evaluation it says she needs to read more NO.

  The state of my consolidated pile under the stairs. Found: baby clothes; have been delivered to Fretex container. Found: 3 white curtains; washed them; started sewing a dress for my youngest (oldest did not agree to let youngest wear a certain white dress of hers). Found: thick drapes that I actually want to install. Must wash first. I'm applying anti-hoarder techniques: preparing small batches to throw and do not consider it DONE until those are out of the house.

  #Hoarding: we have an ongoing issue now, we share a fam subscription and have run out of space. Oldest uses the most, then me.. It's photos and videos. I find it very difficult to let go of these. But defientely we're NOT buying more storage.

We did have the talk. Before she started. I said I don't wanna. She's cutting up socks.. I said I don't wanna cause there are a lot of projects started and abandoned around here. I meant hers. And the. She asked me what happened with the dress I strayed for her last weekend? Paused. N...

  I feel all fuzzy and good. Had to do some school chore, selling food. There were enough people to say hello and give me a genuine smile while I was myself: not wearing a full face of paint, with gray hair, comfortable shoes, warmly dressed with the long vest under the trenchcoat. All the kids got out of the event satisfied, so all is fine. I say genuine smile, cause after a decade of NO I can see the fakeness from a mile away and, really, I prefer no smile to a fake smile.

  Listening to this podcast (my fav) about generations and #HyperIndividualism and workplace. From a point of view of a 1) worker: lived trough communism and capitalism, worked in 4 countries and 2) a mom.. there are ideas that I already have and recognize; these people just put these ideas nicely in words. https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/a-bit-of-optimism/id1515385282?i=1000763983454 And it ties into one that I listened yesterday about #DeepEcology https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast...

  It's been a long time of listening to #CharlesDickens audio books instead of podcasts. Also, gaming has been slowed down, I don't care about it anymore. It's a winter thing for me. A bit more cleaning has been happening. More care of things. As a meditation tool.

  A 2022 pic of my pa, kids and aunt from my ma's side. Auntie wears my lime jacket. We were visiting a salt mine and she was cold. I love how it fits her. And I love to borrow clothes to my people :)

  Youngest 10 was on a boat trip with the class today (5th grade). They could fish - although there is a no fishing rule this year. We borrowed the fishing rod from a neighbor. The two of us were on the balcony discovering how to use it this morning before going to school. She caught 2 fish! All in the class caught 9 fish in total. All the fish were released.
