MinimizeMe in English

Have been feeling under the weather and running a temperature throughout the Easter weekend. My temperature went up to 39.6°C, and I stayed in bed and didn’t get anything done. 

Tilda’s introduction to the nursery started a couple of weeks earlier than expected. This was great news, but really poor planning on the part of the City of Stockholm, since it transpired that there were spaces available from 1 March! We had been turning our lives upside down in an attempt to extend our parental leave, and now it feels like all of this could have been avoided if only the City authorities had got their act in order. We have fallen between the rules of the current and past governments and, as usual, it’s all ended up as a bit of a mess. The Solkatten nursery has a wonderful staff and will be moving into more suitable premises in mid-April - premises which are a bit closer to the school the older kids attend. Kerstin helped us out so that we could get the acclimatisation phase started a couple of weeks earlier than expected, despite the best efforts of brain-dead bureaucrats. Tilda, the happiest little girl in the world, has taken to it like a fish to water. Thank you, Kerstin, for your help during the first week of the acclimatisation phase! 

The exercise regime has suffered due to my being ill for half of the week. I only had time for one weight-training session and a couple of long walks before I was floored by the bug.

I didn’t eat much rubbish over the holiday, since a temperature of 39°C tends to put a dampener on the appetite. But the scales can’t be right….. The weight hasn’t increased, but has the fat percentage really risen by 1% during the long weekend while my muscles have wasted away? I really can’t believe it.
