So I better write a little today. I have been enjoying my vacation a lot. Mostly. There's one little niggle. One little fly in the ointment. But I'll talk about that another time.

For now I will talk about... watching Alien. The Quadrilogy set is pretty amazing. Nine DVDs. Wow. You might remember that I said I was going to buy it if I got vacation on the 17th. When I actually did get the vacation I changed my mind. I didn't want to spend that much money after all. But then my mother informed me that I had a little christmas money coming my way from my grandad, so I decided to spend that on the Alien box. And I'm not regretting it. I'm looking forward to watching them all. And then watching them again with the commentaries. And then watching the 160 bonus discs. Good times.

I went to the Reva center today. To pick up my gym clothes and shoes. I'm not sure I have mentioned this, but I am officially out of the Reva center. Discharged. I'm not supposed to be going back there. Not when I stop at Kulturgyngen either. But you never know what'll happen of course.

It snowed. That made up for the fact that I missed my bus. Okay, it was cold. But at least I could watch the snow.

Unfortunately I think it has all rained away already. And the next couple of days temperatures will be rising. But the weather forecast does say that there is a possibility of snow on christmas eve. So I'm hoping for a white christmas.

It was strange almost, taking the old bus to the old Reva center.

Who knows, it might be the last time I ever see it.

I went down to the locker room and got my stuff. I had been thinking about going to Ester and Knud Eriks' office. Just to say hi and wish them a merry christmas and all. But when I got there I was cold and my head was hurting and all I really wanted was to catch the bus back home. So I decided not to go see them. Which was a mistake.

But luckily fate intervened. And as I was walking up the stairs from the gym Ester came walking through the hallway. So we stopped and talked. Which was nice. It's been a long time since I saw her last. She asked how things were going at Kulturgyngen. I told her I was on vacation now and she said it must be nice, that I must have been needing some vacation after everything that's happened this year. And boy, she ain't wrong. She said that if we didn't see each other again then she would be sending me a sort of "closing statement" from the Reva center, with conclusions and everything. And while we were talking about that, Knud Erik came walking down the hallway. So I got to talk to him a little too. He asked how things were going with the medication and if I'd heard from the doctor about the local psychiatry thing. And all.

I'm glad I got to see them again. Talk to them. Wish them a merry christmas and a happy new year. They are such very nice people and they have helped me a lot. It's been a long, hard year but things have progressed and I am cautiously optimistic about the future.

And on that note I'll be going back to the relaxation. I'm all worn out for the night.
