Dec 31, 2023 22:14

It's time for the annual New Year's meme, but I missed last year's meme so I will try my best to remember 2022 before I do the one for this year. :) I'll be back with the 2023 meme next year! Hopefully I won't wait until the last day of the year. ;)

1. What did you do in 2022 that you'd never done before?
- Tried a "matkasse" (meal kit delivery service) from Årstiderna.
- Saw Jakob Hellman live.
- Went to Uddevalla.
- Sewed a Halloween costume for Vega (Sommarskuggan).
- Went out of town for two days while Danne's mother was babysitting Vega.

2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I hoped I would spend more time on self-care routines like sleeping and getting massages and of course working out to get rid of my back pain. My sleep was better, I think, but I didn't work out and overall my health has been set aside.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My friend Maria gave birth to a little boy, Arvid! <3

Not taking enough care of myself and my health, I guess.
