It is quite possible to say that today, yes February 23rd, is the first day this year that I feel "normal." Well, that is with the exception of the enormous virtual pile (although very real) of things to catch up on. After taking a delightfully disconnected vacation at the end of the year, we returned to the flu. First Oskar, who has stopped coughing through the night, then Björn and I. Hanna-Maria miraculously escaped it. It was the strangest flu I have ever experienced as it quite literally stopped you in your tracks. The extent of my multi-tasking was watching "Little House on the Prairie" while knitting.Anyway, this is not to complain about the flu, as it seems that nearly everyone I know got hit by this one this year. I am just writing to say that we are back. Of course it will take a little while to dig out. We are all well and have now returned to sportlov (that would be February break) looking and feeling much healthier. I won't talk of the fresh tracks and beautiful sunshine that contributed to our recovery. My family seems to be giving me grief for unabashed recollections of hedonism. But I will say that the experience of the Chamonix off-piste enjoyment gets me through the Swedish "winter". Much to Oskar's disappointment we did not go to Thailand with the rest of Sweden (as he claims he is the only one who has never been there - poor kid).
Now back to work or "tillbaka till arbetet" as they say here in Sweden. Much work needed to do to redesign 2BU from new. Björn is busy with M&A and reaching new markets. Be we are now both healthy again and determined to stay that way. Next step is to train up for the Easter off-piste and rock climbing with kids this time.
