An office is generally a room or other area in which people work.

Step into my office.
I have pretty notebooks, floral fabric tape, a Lemon Emigrant, red heart shaped post-its and my trusted assistant Nicoline is by my side.

Most of todays work was done at Verket though. 

This Monday me and Marianne started our new assignment for Verket Design: posters and a profile for the School Nurses at Thor Heyer Dahl High School.

We have an idea, which I actually started sketching on at the first meeting with the nurses, go me, which basically boils down to BAND AIDS. They symbolize care, help and healing in a bit of a humorous and childish way.

I'm exited about this job! We'll do great.

This is the sweater I was talking about the other day:

Light, which is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, exhibits properties of both waves and particles.

So what have you been up to lately Marita?

Well. I got a haircut that I'm not altogether happy with. I've been wearing my new boots whenever I can, cus it'll soon be too cold for them! I've painted some more things white. GO WHITE! And I've been wearing a lot of white too. But mostly I've worn that oversized wool sweater I got at H&M last week. And I've not even once worn a skirt this past 6 months, booo. I've been taking pictures. I got a splinter in my finger the other day, that really hurt! I broke an umbrella. I've been missing singing. I've been tired. But I've had some energy too.

And it's getting really cold, it's also been raining for weeks !


Enough about me and the weather, how are you doing?

Mellow yellow.

The girls at VERKET decided to make a blog, it's been talked about for a while and they finnaly took the plunge. For about 1 day it stood without header or any kind of direction, the "Simple" layout in blue and one lonely post.

Then I fixed it. ♥

Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or shared with humans in a domesticated environment.

 

Autumn is storming outside!

So what better opportunity to paint some furniture and re-do some things around the apartment. I can't help myself, I can't change the colors, I love red, beige, white and silver. And as long as I do I'll keep on using them.

I recently gave a couple of offshoots that have been living in jars with water a proper place to live, tin cans was just the way to go. I hope they like it.

I got new shoes, they are perfect:

The adjective bright derives from an Old English beorht with the same meaning via metathesis giving Middle English briht.

VERKET offers a wide variety of cultural and physical activity, with the possibility of job training and / or volunteer positions to people who for various reasons are wholly or partly outside the workplace.

Cultural and physical activity can improve health, and the goal is to give people a meaning in life and strengthen the ability to master their own lives.
VERKET has a variety of courses, workshops and individual lessons. All led by professional instructors and supervisors.

I work as a volunteer photographer and graphic designer at VERKET.
I'm also in an advanced graphic design course led by Marianne.

I'm so glad I have the opportunity to do something meaningful when I'm to sick to work or go to school.

According to meteorologists, summer extends for the whole months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere.

And just like that it's over for this year.
There's been a lot of rain, but it's also been nice and warm.

I haven't been well at all this summer. One week I feel fine and I can function almost like a normal person. Then the next I can hardly stand up because of the pain in my legs and joints, and I'm so dizzy that I can't really do anything but lie on the couch with my eyes closed. I recently bought myself a pair of crutches to try to relive some of the leg pain. Sometimes resting helps, sometimes it doesn't. On an average I have, if I'm lucky, one good week every month.

I've got a ME diagnosis, but recently I've come to believe I have a Borrelia infection, also called Lyme Disease. An infection I've had for probably 8-9 years now. Testing for infection by the b.Burgdorferi bacteria is almost impossible when you had it this long, it hides within the body to the point were it stops making antibodies. The bacteria thrives in the joint, the central nervous system and if it's allowed to wreak havoc for enough time it can also cross the blood/brain barrier. Hooray, I have bacteria in my brain.

I don't really let it put me down though. I'm sick right now, but I'll get better. And if I don't, then I don't.

I'm glad I have my camera, my cat, my family and friends to keep me company on the days when I'm too sick to go outside.
And I'm glad I have this blog. Even though I don't update as much as I used to, bear with me on that one, I try to do what I can ♥
