Welcome to Chaos !!

Went to watch the sun set and the moon rise last night. The moon had an orangey red color and was perfectly round when it rose....it was really pretty and the pics I took do not make it justice.





Moon over a city.





It is Monday today and that means the start of a new work week for many. I make a weekly to do list instead. I have a few things to take care of this week. Today I want to go and see if I can transfer the pics I took on my drive through Nevada onto some device so I can put them up here on the blog. Then I might try an Olaplex No.3 treatment on my hair. Maybe.

This is my latest obsession for my taste buds - ginger beer. I am trying different brands, I want a burn when drinking (I love spicy stuff) and lots of ginger swirling around in the bottle but not too sweet. Most of the ginger beers have a lot of sugar. I found one called Fever Tree at Whole Foods with not that much sugar but I don't like the taste that much. The one in the pic is called Bottoms Up. Good but too much sugar. They have a website with all sorts of ginger stuff, www.gingerpeople.com



Sunday evening and a full moon.....well TECHNICALLY the moon was full at 12:07 AM today. I have to go outside and see if I can snap some pics of the moon and perhaps the sunset too.

Today I tried yoga. I attempted it years ago but was so bored during the class that I didn't finish it. Today my intention was to join a friend for a hot power yoga class but I quickly realized that it was way too advanced for me and instead I joined another class that was easier. Still difficult though. And I wanted to quit a few times, again I felt bored and impatient but I forced myself to stay and I am glad that I did. Some of the moves, or should I say poses were difficult and the instructor impressed me, she was an older somewhat heavy lady but she did the low plank for over a minute straight in great form. I did not. I am not at all familiar with all yoga poses, the basic ones yes but far from all of them. I am not used to switching quickly and fluidly from one pose to another. Will I go again? Maybe.
I don't know. I do understand the benefits of yoga and I see how it can be good for your mind as well. I just don't know if yoga is my thing.



The Rainbow Gathering just wrapped up, this year somewhere in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon.



I went to a Rainbow Gathering years ago, this is before I ever went to Burning Man. Although I heard of Burning Man around that time. I remember staying in a tent, communal kitchens, many drum circles around fires at night, a pretty bad toilet situation, I lost my flip flop in a muddy ditch (hoping I did not step in a "toilet") while trying to locate my tent at night and got a slight case of food poisoning the last day. I definitely prefer Burning Man over the Rainbow Gathering. Burning Man is definitely my "thing". I would go to a Rainbow Gathering again if the opportunity presented itself but it's nothing I am obsessing over. If it happens it happens.
Speaking of saving the forest.....when I was about seven, me and my then best friend Helen formed our own private club called KlaKla. We spent a lot of time playing outside in an area behind our homes that had a small forest. We were the protectors of that forest and the animals. And we would nurse broken branches on the trees back to health by making casts for them. I recall we had a pet spider named Viktor that we found frozen in some ice.....we hacked him free, the ice melted and Viktor lived. No wonder that I ended up at a Rainbow Gathering and four Burning Mans and counting as an adult. I still care for trees, plants and animals, even insects. No flowers in vases for me. To me flowers do not belong in a vase. Either in a pot growing inside or growing outside. Large bouquets do nothing for me besides make me feel sorry for the pretty flowers.

I went away, both from the blog and in reality. I needed to go to Las Vegas for a quick one week trip and take care of some stuff. In that seven day span I was so busy that I was too tired in the evening to go and have my much longed for massage with Kathy. No massage this time around.....but I got A LOT done and accomplished so that feels good. I took some cool pics on the drive through Nevada but they are on a different phone so I need to get them transferred first before I can put them up here on the blog. See the night before my Vegas trip a real moron opened up (uninvited of course may I say) the passenger door on my car and took my phone. After trying to "talk" to me first. Fucking disgusting piece of shit lowlife. Anyhow, I can be extremely determined and persistent if I decide to be, so of course I had that scumbag tracked down. Meanwhile I was without my phone the whole Vegas trip, instead I had to work with an ancient flip phone. Better than sending smoke signals, those take too long.



I can't even recall those days, the days of the flip phone pre smartphone. To make a long story short, once I got back "home" I got my phone back. I had the option to have the scumbag arrested but since I don't have time to waste on inbred morons I decided against it. On a few stipulations, if my memory card with my photos was missing from my phone he would be arrested and if he had any priors with any type of violence against women. He was lucky that I am kind.
Now, hopefully he doesn't breed but knowing the human race some dumb woman, or a few, already squeezed out some of his offspring that are now being raised in between beer cans, cigarette smoke, loud arguments and the noise of sports on the TV. No, I don't want to "talk" to you. We have NOTHING in common (besides co existing on this planet). Stay away from me, Thank You!
I hope YOU (yes, you reading this) had a nice 4th of July.



Or to quote Edward Abbey, "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
I took Chhaya to see the fireworks. She is not scared of fireworks, she gets excited, very excited and wants to join in.



I see that Trump has visited my birth country Poland and is now at, or heading for the G20 summit in Hamburg and has a meeting with my husband to be - Putin.
I have not followed this in detail whatsoever because I was also without my laptop for a few days. My charger was missing but I got it back today. So now I am back, phone and laptop. Yeay!

This world is sick and it is sick because of people. I am reading about that poor man, Otto Warmbier (barely an adult) that made the terrible mistake to travel to North Korea. And returned home in a coma and is now dead. Poor his parents. First of all, WHO wants to visit North Korea willingly? Even if I got offered a large sum of money I would not go there and support that regime in any way. That joke of a "man" in power over there, somebody needs to get rid of him. If you read on the US State Department's site, traveling to North Korea is strongly discouraged because you can get detained for basically anything there. You look at somebody the wrong way and you get sentenced to at least a decade of hard labor and a starvation diet. I feel bad for the people that live there. Completely brain washed and imprisoned within their own country. How can a place like that exist in these times? And what the hell is Dennis Rodman doing over there when he goes to visit? And if you for some reason DO encounter a problem in North Korea you have to contact the SWEDISH embassy over there, since there is no US embassy or consulate there. No shit. Who wants to work there? Now I feel bad for the Swedes working there. I am NEVER giving up my Swedish passport by the way. Yea, yea.....never say never but that is how I feel. I love my Swedish citizenship.
Other places I would not travel to would be places where men treat women like possessions and where getting gang raped by a bunch of sex starved lunatics is almost considered normal. Like India. Too bad because I love Indian food and that country has so much history. Also no interest in traveling to some Muslim countries. No thanks, I do not want to be subjected to that kind of blatant disrespect and be around unevolved behaviour. And have zero rights.
I also don't want to go to places where people think eating dog is yummy. There is a TERRIBLE picture of a tied up dog that I saw today. Paws tied together and mouth bound shout. I want to beat the person that did that to the dog. I do hate people. And also something about that tourists in some place think that they are buying some dish with chicken meat when in fact it's dog meat. How about eating less meat in general? I can't stand that UNEVOLVED mindset that one needs to eat meat every day. NO YOU DON'T!
You will survive without meat - I promise. If you are privileged enough to be able to make choices about what you stick in your mouth.....how about practicing some compassion and kindness too and not ONLY think about yourself for a change? Think about that animal that you are chewing on. Do you care how it lived, how it was treated during it's life and how it died? No? Well, maybe it's time that you should USE your brain and think about something useful.
OK.....I don't hate everybody although I do think that this is a sick world. It does hurt to live. So much misery. I am watching SKAM 4, it is so disappointing that there will be no more episodes of SKAM after season 4. This series is SO GOOD!
I freakin' love all the characters but I especially LOVE P-Chris. How pretty and sexy can I guy get? Me and all the other teenage girls and ladies agree.......although I'm supposedly an adult (nooooo, I want to be 19!) I am very much like a teenager in many ways. And right now my boy crush is P-Chris.

Look....I found a faerie ring! I LOVE faeries and mermaids! I know that in certain folklore it is considered bad luck to step into a fearie ring but since I am a helper of animals and nature in general I feel safe from that kind of superstition. Plus I am part faerie.



Today I am getting crutches, already got one pair and in a bit I will pick up another pair. I want three pairs of crutches and maybe a wheelchair as well that I am going to donate to an upcoming event. Where to find crutches? Well, I looked at Craigslist.
