Gawd, even though I've wanted to update her for ever, but either I haven't had the energy or I haven't known how to start.
Anyway, if you want a current update on what is going on in my life, you can always check my Instagram at anytime! :-) I'm really active there. It has ended up my favorite social media.
OK, so as updates go. Let's start with Midsummer. If you've read my thoughts for a while, you'll know I always end up with some serious Midsummer-blues. Since my dear Mr P /![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
peting77 always go to his so called friend a bit further north in Sweden. Anyway, since he got divorced since last year, he stopped calling Mr P totally (he's called less and less over the years), and so Mr P was with us this year! AMAZING! And helped somewhat with my Midsummer blues. :-)
So we ended up going to moms all of us, which was nice since mom had promised to with her gentleman caller this year. So we had moms house to ourselves. Felt weird, but was OK. :-) We went to a traditional midsummer celebration with all the trimmings, then we went to a neighbouring city I used to go to during Midsummer. But things do change in 30 or so years. So everything was closed. X-D Back to mom's house for some traditional midsummer food. *LOL*
We spent a couple of more days at moms just being lazy and enjoying my moms company when she came back from her gentleman caller. Was really nice, and I hope we can do it again next year!
So that was Midsummer, for once a good experience! Very happy about that!
The weekend after Midsummer the Fallout LARP I go to each summer. Usually it's arranged mid to end of July but this year it ended up being arranged end of June! Which surprised me. But I still got the go ahead from Mr P that it was OK, so off I went.
Counting on my fingers I figured out it was the 9th year this year! 9 YEARS!!! Insane! And I've played the same character each year!!!
Preavious years a lot has happened to her story wise, but not this year. Which was FINE! You can wish for an active or inactive plot when you sign up, and previous years I've always wished for an active one, which means a lot of actions and stuff, but this year I asked for an inactive plot since I just wanted to enjoy myself.
And I succeded in my goal!
My character Katya Hollander still has the trading post in the village / settlement of Bockaby, making her one of the wealthiest once. Although this year I kept the prices pretty low and I was open for haggling, just for fun. :-)
Worked great! I needed a lot of temporary guards for the trading post, since for whatever reason I always get a tiny bladder on that LARP. X-D Which is good, since that means I get caps (in game money) going in the LARP economy.
Other than that I mostly sat and talked to the mom in the family that always brings her kids there. She's done that every year, which I wouldn't do with Alexandra. Alexandra doesn't like big bangs or doesn't quite get this with pretending to be someone else. Not yet at least. If she wants to when she's older, she can come. :-)
These kids though have always acted very oddly, and even though the older son is way past diaper age, still wears diapers. None of them talk but makes... noises.
This year I had some of Alexandras old baby toys with me, and those kids LOVED them, so they hung out a lot at the trading post.
And I found out those two kids have an extremly rare genetic condition that effects the brain. And said condition will eventually kill them, quite early. Three kids, the two oldest have this condition. Since the parents have a latent gene that combined will give this. Talk about unluck! So their youngest they did an IVF with donated sperm, and that little girl is perfectly normal.
Sad, right? But they still try to give the best to said kids, hence they take them with them everywhere, and they behaved really well, despite not being able to talk.
I gave all off Alexandras baby toys to them kids when I packed up after the LARP. I think them kids desvere it, and it made them happy. :-)
Hopefully all three of them will come next year to. Fingers crossed.
Right, this is long enough. I'll make another post about my birthday and our little vacation-trip to Kolmården. :-)
