Final bit of the drive
We drove till just after 01:00, and stopped at the Åhedån rest area, where we took a nap for 1 h 44 minutes. He sitting in the drivers seat, reclined, me curled up across some clothes pused between the two front seats, with my pillow on his tummy/chest. Not the most comfortable position, but it gave him enough rest to start driving again, with a revised estimate for home arrival at 04:20. This turned out to be a quite accurate prediction.
home again
I had just enough energy left to feed the cats, unload the stuff in the back seat, get food into the fridge, start a load of laundry in the machine in “delayed start” mode, so that it would finish in nine hours (in hopes that I would sleep so long), do yoga, and take a shower, which got me to bed at 05:37. Keldor, who had driven the full way, carried in one bag, and went straight to a shower and to bed.
I slept almost three hours, and Keldor woke and woke me. I went back to sleep for an hour, and then we got up.
glad we took the day off of work
We played a quick game of Qwirkle over breakfast, which I won, but we both had way lower scores than usual.
Then we put some stuff away, and I made a quick pot of soup. Thent it was time to deal with laundry, and I started another load, this time with a delayed start to be done in three hours, which I figured would be enough time to drive to Skelleftehamn to get our stuff that traveld in the trailer.
oops
Since we were there we also helped Þórólfr unload everything else in the trailer, too.
I carried one bag of coffee to the kitchen, set it on the table, turned quickly around and started walk quickly out of the room, tangled my feet on nothing, fell forward, tried catching myself with the other foot, hit a box with it, and fell faster, striking my forehead on the doorjam just before landing, hard, on my hands and knees. No breaks, but bruises on all five impact points. 100% do not recommend.
Needless to say, I took a break from unloading to hold some ice against my palms and forehead, but short attention span meant thst I was soon back to work.
In the evening Martin and Molly visited.
Got to bed at 00:13
