Hi everybody! I am really sorry because I do not know who reads this. I just write. Since I don´t know who read, is difficult to write so I simply just write. And write.
I previously told you that I have this urge to write. I have it inside me. Sometimes several days can pass without this need to write. Strange. It is also strange that I sometimes write poems. I remember when I went to high school. At that time, poems was just something difficult and complicated. Difficult to understand. Now I follow my own rules and call it poetry myself.
I suppose it (poetry & writing) is like a good wine. It needs to mature before it is good. Like olives. I was going to buy Bassett´s candy last night that is why I think of wine. I love Bassett´s. One of my favorites. Would be nice to have half size since I eat everything if available. I think that it was when I stayed in France I learnt that you need cheese & sweeties after dinner. A very good habit. Food is culture.
Today is a special day. I am in the countryside. I have lit a fire. And I write.
Best wishes,
Anna
Eastern time. Yesterday was “skärtorsdagen”, today i “långfredagen”. Really don´t know the English translation. Eastern is very much connected to religion. However, in Sweden we are not that, so to say, religious. We have traditions but not to the extreme. Eastern is mostly a family gathering.
Often, weather is very good so it is the first opportunity to get some tan. To stay in the sun, enjoy what everybody has longed for. And refill D-vitamines storage. Eat eggs. Eat a lot of candy. Candy is really my weakness, I admit. Female trait. I have to work on that. But that is a way to enjoy life. I have my burdens, I know.
As you know I work as a pharmacist. I get time to write. Right now a lot of work but that will decrease. So this is how I am going to spend my Eastern. So boring. I have started to long for some traveling again. Meet new cultures.

Lately, I have started to think what happened to my concept “functional nicotinic auto receptors”. I don´t think people understand the enormous impact this has on various neurological diseases. This is theoretical pharmacology, but I am sure this has a broad clinical implication. All diseases associated to dopamine. These are complicated neurological feed-back mechanisms that I could talk a lot about.
I have previously told you exactly how this idea became theoretical pharmacology. Professor Arvid Carlsson talked about nicotinic auto receptors at a little gathering at the department of pharmacology. I had just learnt how to make a dose-response. Classical pharmacology and I discovered a trend. I used an antagonist that gave surprising results. The aim was to find a dose with no effect per se (Larsson et al, 2002).
I think I need to explain that this is exactly how it works within research. You listen to a lecture, you read something and you can make connections and bring theories further. At least, that is how I used to work. Maybe there are other methods of working.
Within research you have to defend yourself and your theories and that is what I do right now.
Happy Eastern!

Hi! It has really been a busy day so I am rather tired. I should write but I save that for tomorrow and Eastern. I am happy because I see the end of the book.
This morning I went for training. It is really a lovely way to start a day. The weather was not so fine, but at least it was not raining. I always bring my cellular just in case I see something I would like to catch. I have problems with hackers. That makes me in a very bad mood. Last time I could´t take any photos at all. But today I found these sweet moments.
Here is a boat I pass every time. And flowers. What would life be without flowers? I just love flowers! Cant´t live without them.
I am tired and I am bored. I will change that.
Have a nice evening.

Will just write a little something tonight. I had a busy weekend and luckily I had a day off today. Working on my book and I am also working to get my body in good shape. I need some muscles. Actually, it has been a perfect day for writing. It has been raining all day. Feel a bit frustrated over my book, but I suppose I will get over that.
This is my first book so it takes time. And socially it is not so good because I spend a lot of time alone. But, this is what I would like to do right now while I wait for love.
All the best and with love.
