Wet, picture of

-

A year ago we started on what was to be one of the wettest late autumns/early winters in Bergen's history. This picture was taken then, while sitting on the bus. And now I've also tested Blogger's picture-uploading-thingy.

As it would happen, we're have what I believe is the driest autumn here since I moved to Chattanooga. The fall colors are really suffering as a result (as are my mums!).

Nice photo!

Thanks! I'm rather pleased with it myself. In what way is the dry affecting the colors? Gonna put a picture of it on your blog?

You can't really tell from the photo that I put up yesterday, but a lot of the trees in the area never really turned to their usual fall colors. It's been so dry that a lot of the leaves have skipped the autumn color and just dried up and fallen off.

Another weird thing is that my dog normally really suffers with fall allergies, but she hasn't had any problems this year. OTOH, I usually breeze right through the autumn, symtom-free, but the past month or so has been pretty itchy for me for some reason. It's definitely different from what we're used to, allergen-wise, and hopefully just a fluke.

Nothing's normal this year. A summary from the Norwegian weather bureau shows that they really struggled with getting long-range forecasts (5-10 days) right this past summer - a first. We've been breaking heat records all autumn. Too early to tell yet if this is the new norm. But I'm tired of the rain, already.

Cleaning out my surf-box

I have a folder in my mail application, labelled "surf" into which goes e-mails containing links to sites to read or explore later. Most of the mails are from myself to myself. Here are some gems worth sharing: It’s not what you plan to do that comes first, it’s what you’re willing to give up to make time and space to do it. From the Lifehack article Letting Things Go , which is a good read for us procrastinators. It touches on one reason we don't do what we want to do: We simply don't make the time for it. Somewhat related to the above is Merlin Mann's suggestion for getting a fresh start by replacing one project . Find something that gets you really excited and makes you feel energized and hopeful about the prospects in your life. Pretend for a moment that you can finally scratch an itch that you may never have acknowledged until now. [...] Excise something stupid, and undertake something cool.

Brave enough, after all

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, &quo
