The universe does not give two nice mornings in a row, apparently...... 8amYou stood at the bus stop in a thin drizzle, watching your breath fog up a little in the cold, and let two buses pass because they were too crowded.Why must every Stockholmare decide to travel at exactly 08:00 ??? I will just wait...... it is fine, it is fine...... 12pmYou ate lunch at your desk again, a sad reheated portion of yesterday's leftovers, while half-listening to a colleague complain about the printer.Hmm, the vegetables did not save me from eating at the desk after all!! Small victories do not last long, it seems...... 2pmYou sat through a meeting that ran forty minutes over, nodding along while your mind drifted somewhere far from the slideshow.This is the opposite of yesterday's miracle meeting...... truly, balance in all things, as my grandmother used to say!! Ha...... 6pmYou walked home in the dark, since the sun had already given up for the day by four, and stopped briefly to watch the lights reflecting off the wet street.There is something almost beautiful about this, the lights in the puddles!! Like little broken stars...... I do not know why that thought came to me just now...... 9pmYou sat alone in the apartment with the radio on low, not really listening, just letting the sound fill the quiet while you stared out at the dark window.Another evening, another quiet apartment...... it is not so bad, really!! Just...... quiet. Very quiet. Hmm...... 2026-10-20 7amYou woke before the alarm this time, which felt almost strange, and lay there listening to the rain finally easing off into something quieter.No rain today......!! or less rain, at least... maybe it is a sign, haha, who knows... I should not read into weather like this but I do........ 9amYou walked to the office instead of taking the bus, since the sidewalks were only wet and not flooded, and the cold air felt almost good on your face.Walking is better than bus, I think!! The fog on the bus window yesterday made me feel very... closed in... like my own head, ha........ today is better, a little. 12pmYou went out for lunch for once, to the little place around the corner, and had a bowl of soup that actually tasted like something.This soup is so much better than the sandwich machine!!! Why do I torture myself every day with plastic sandwich when THIS exists just outside the door...??? I am a creature of bad habit, truly....... 3pmYou had a short, almost pleasant meeting about a client proposal that actually ended on time, which felt like a small miracle.A meeting that ends when it is supposed to end!!! Someone give this person a medal......... small things, but I will take them, yes I will. 6pmYou stopped at the ICA on the way home and bought real groceries instead of frozen things, including vegetables you actually intended to cook.Look at me, buying vegetables like a functioning adult person!! My ex would be... hm, no, I will not think of that now......... just vegetables. Just dinner. One step at a time, ja. 9pmYou called your cousin for a bit, mostly to hear about her week, and ended up laughing more than you expected to about something small and silly she said.She always makes me laugh without trying, that girl!!! It is strange how she is the one who showed me Gabriel's music and now... now it is mine too, in its own quiet 2026-10-19 7amYou woke to the alarm this time, and lay there for a few extra minutes listening to the rain still going against the window.Okay....... Monday again. The rain did not stop at all, it just kept going all night, like it had something it needed to finish saying!! 8amYou made coffee too strong by accident and drank it anyway while standing at the kitchen counter because the chairs felt too far away.This is... a lot of coffee, Erik. But fine. Fine!! Today needs a lot of coffee I think. 9amYou took the bus into the office instead of walking because of the weather, and spent the ride watching the windows fog up.Everyone on this bus looks as tired as I feel......... At least we are all tired together, ha!! Small comfort, but still a comfort. 12pmYou had lunch at your desk, a sandwich from the machine downstairs that tasted mostly of plastic and regret.Why do I keep buying these?!?! Every time I think, maybe today it will be good, and every time...... no. It is never good. 3pmYou got pulled into a long meeting about Q4 numbers that dragged forty minutes past when it should have ended.I am nodding, I am nodding, but my brain has left the building completely!! It is somewhere else right now, somewhere quieter. 8pmYou got home, hung your wet coat by the door, and sat by the window with the lamp low, letting the album play through again while the city outside stayed dark and rainy.There it is again...... that feeling, like he is singing about exactly this, exactly tonight!! Strange how music can know a person it has never met. I don't know why but it helps, a little bit, it really does...... 2026-10-18 7amYou woke before the alarm for once, the apartment cold because you forgot to adjust the heating again.Why is it always cold in this flat ... ... the landlord promised better radiators in September and nothing has happened!! Typical. 9amYou sat through the Saturday morning meeting at the office that could have been an email, nodding along while thinking about lunch.Why do we even need to meet in person for this......?? Lars talked for twenty minutes about a spreadsheet. Twenty minutes!!! I could have been home with tea. 12pmYou ate a slightly sad meatball sandwich at the cafe near Kungsgatan, the kind that is okay but not really worth the price.It is fine, it is just ... fine ... not bad, not good, just fine!! Like so many things lately. Maybe I expect too much from a sandwich. 3pmYou stopped by Systembolaget on the way home because the weekend felt like it needed a little something, then changed your mind at the register and bought nothing.No, no ... better not tonight, I have work tomorrow early and also I do not want to be the sad man drinking alone again!! Even if the thought is tempting...... 6pmYou called your cousin to ask what kind of food she likes, trying to plan something nice for her visit next month.She is sixteen now, I think ... or is it seventeen?? Time moves so strange. I hope she will think Stockholm is interesting and not just... an old man's city with an old man living in it!! 9pmYou sat by the window with the lamp low, listening to Gabriel's album again while the rain finally decided to come down properly.This song always finds the exact quiet place inside me ... ... it is strange how a stranger's voice can know you better than people who have known you for years!!! I wonder if anyone else feels this the same way I do ... probably. Probably someone, som 2026-10-17 7amYou woke to the alarm this time, grey light already pressing at the curtains, and you lay there a minute longer than you needed to.Saturday......... no office today, no fluorescent lights, just me and this quiet apartment !! it should feel nice but it feels big somehow....... 9amYou did the laundry you had been putting off all week, sorting whites from darks on the kitchen floor out of habit from when there were two people to sort for.Funny how the small tasks are the ones that get you !!! folding a shirt should not make a man feel things......... but here we are............ 11amYou walked to the ICA on Odengatan for groceries, the air sharp and the sky doing that October thing where it cannot decide between rain and not-rain.Buying for one person is still strange to me, even now !! how many months has it been?? the cart always looks too empty....... 1pmYou called your mother to ask about Sunday dinner and ended up talking for almost forty minutes about nothing in particular.She asked if I am eating properly and I said yes even though it was half a lie !!! mothers always know anyway, don't they....... 4pmYou went for a run along Brunnsviken even though your legs protested, the water grey and choppy and a few brave joggers passing you with nods.The cold air in my lungs feels almost good !! like it is burning something out of me that needed burning........ I should do this more often, really!! 8pmYou sat with tea and the lamp on low, thinking about what to say to your cousin when she visits next month, maybe show her the city properly this time.She is the one who showed me his music in the first place......... strange how a teenager can hand you something that saves a whole winter !! I want to thank her but I don't know how to say it without sounding too much....... 2026-10-16 7amYou woke up before the alarm, lying in the half-dark listening to the radiator tick, and for a long moment you just stared at the ceiling.Another Friday ...... already ??? The week went by so fast and yet also so slow, how is that even possible !!! I should get up now , really ...... 8amYou made coffee but burned the toast slightly and ate it anyway, standing at the counter in your work shirt.Burnt toast again ...... I always do this when my mind wanders off somewhere else !!! Well , it is fine , it is still food , no need to be dramatic about it ...... 9amYou took the bus instead of the T-bana for once, since the morning felt calmer and you wanted to watch the city go by through the window.The light over Riddarfjärden this morning was almost ...... beautiful !!! Grey but soft , like something out of a sad song , very fitting for my mood these days ...... 12pmYou had lunch alone at your desk, a sandwich from the kiosk downstairs, and found yourself staring at nothing for several minutes.I should talk to people more at work , but today I just want quiet ...... Maybe that is not so healthy ??? But some days you need silence to think , no ??? 4pmYou left the office a little early because your head was pounding from the fluorescent lights, and you walked home slowly through Vasastan instead of taking the metro.The air smells like autumn and wet stone ...... I like this time of year even though it makes me sad , strange combination !!! Maybe that is why his music fits so well with October ...... 9pmYou sat on the couch with the lamp low again, not reading, just letting an old familiar song play quietly while you thought about your cousin visiting next month.It is strange how one song can make a whole year of feelings come back at once ...... I wonder if he knows how much this means to people like me , probably 2026-10-15 7amYou woke to grey light and the rain finally stopped, though the windows were still fogged with damp.No rain today...... strange how quiet it feels without it. Almost too quiet. Hmm. 9amYou took the T-bana into the office, standing the whole way because every seat was taken.Everyone look so tired today!!! Monday-face on a Thursday, haha...... maybe it is just me projecting. 12pmYou went to the lunch place near the office with a colleague instead of eating at your desk, and ordered the fish of the day out of habit.小talk about football again...... I nod, I say 'ja ja', but inside I am thinking about nothing at all, just grey nothing. Food was fine though!! Good enough. 3pmYou had a long and slightly tense meeting about the budget revisions that ran twenty minutes over.Why must every meeting become a discussion about discussing the discussion!!!??? I only wanted to go home...... 6pmYou stopped at the ICA on the way home and bought too much bread again, out of some habit you could not explain.Three loaves... for one person?? Erik, what are you doing with your life, haha. Old married-man habits dying slow, I think. 9pmYou sat by the window with the lamp on low, not really reading the book in your lap, just watching the street get dark.The city is so still tonight...... almost peaceful. I think of the cousin's message about tour dates again, wondering if maybe, maybe, I could actually go this time!!! Would be good to see something beautiful in person, for once. | Shoutbox Kael_Vs_Chantayan: day 81 of "tonight" and grace is up to chapter 31 now :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: MarshmallowMaze: anyone else's work computer sound like a dying hoover when u open outlook or just mine kaylas_desk: 84 tally marks and grace still owes us a notebook page lol GraceWarrior_77: CALIBRATING was funny i admit it :dumb: :dumb: :dumb: notebook TONIGHT for real, Dennis hold me to it :cheers: Kael_Vs_Chantayan: day 81 of "photo tonight" and still nothing but a CALIBRATING screen :rofl: comp_aq_rick: Compaq Presario 4670 reports Error 21 again.
