Hello dear reader and good evening from Sweden. It was a dreadful night for me. High fever, nausea, chills, high coughs. What a night. My parents thought I needed to go to hospital, but then luckily my mom had a brilliant method to put down the fever from 103,6 F to 99,8 F. And that was to make me some bandage where I put them in a deep plate with 60% alcohol mixed with vinegar. And it worked. I battled the fever entire night but this worked. I had that on my feet for 15 min, then dried the feet, waited another 15 min and took that on again. I also combined paracetamol (double 500mg), drank lot of fluid too.

So I did rest myself entire day. I was actually in the bed until 14:00 pm. Then I ate very little food (I usually drop all the hunger when I’m this sick), took some tea. Ate oranges and made lemon juice with honey. This was pretty much whole day. Now, unfortunately, the fever is back. I can feel it how warm I am on my head but cold elsewhere. I think I can battle this, whatever it is. My tests will (hopefully) arrive tomorrow. And even if I’m positive, I think I’ll get through this somehow.

This is the downside being a teacher. Especially during pandemic, and especially in Sweden where 30000 people per day gets infected by omicron. I will probably not be able to work for entire week. No masks either in the classrooms, no alcohol to wash fast your hands. Students who were in foreign countries during entire Christmas break. We risk our lives and few are respecting us whatsoever - not to tell providing protection. On the bright side: I’m not that dizzy anymore. Glad I left that Bering’s Sea…

I am hoping so hard for your health to return. You are taking great care of yourself, so good for that. Please do keep resting and hydrating your body with fluids.

Dear reader, last night I had high fever too. I battled entire night, again. Had all my short towels and poured them all on cold alcohol with vinegar. And I had them on my feet. Again. So the fever eventually dropped around 4 am and I could get myself some rest. I took lots of fluids, especially from pomegranate (my kind mom bought it for me since I was unable to even get up from the bed most of the time). I took also double paracetamol (2x 500 mg) and started to sweat. And when sweating, that’s only great. So fever will drop even more.

I don’t know what this is, to be honest. I can’t predict anymore about this. Although, I know that this isn’t an ordinary flu. I still have pain in entire of my body and every muscle. The headache is there but better thank God. There is not much tension in my head, but it feels like I still have a bit “anesthesia” left. I’m having at the moment 99,5 F fever. It’s still there, idling. Because it will pop up once again over 100 F, even though I’ll do my best that it won’t happen.

I didn’t do much today either. I was in bed until 13 pm. Yes, just in bed. Made some food afterwards, some easy to eat. I barely ate anything these days. I thought I would get the results today from the Covid-test but I didn’t. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. But it’s no wonder why it’s late. Over 30000 infected in Sweden, there are no room for anyone here in my towns hospital. It’s full everywhere. 30000 infected - per day - and it’s just increasing. If I’m positive and managed to get well this quick, then I have few things to explain for some doctors here. Especially considering that I also have bipolar and asthma. This is rare. And it might help many people in the future.

But without some advice and assistance from my mom (regarding that recipe mixing alcohol and vinegar to soak up the fever via the feet), I would probably had shivering and all that today as well. And so easy to do. Any clean alcohol will due, but it must be at least 40%. 10 oz alcohol and 10 oz vinegar. Blend it in a big bowl and just take a dry towel. And take that around your feet for 15 min. Do that three times at least. This work and worked on me since I was a child.

Now I hope I’ll have some sleep and that my fever will be neutralised. I can’t unfortunately work tomorrow or on Friday. So will just preparing myself to go with full steam next week on Monday. Wish me luck. Stay safe, everyone! And get all vaccines! I had lucky that my two doses saved me.

Hello dear reader and good evening from this infected Europe. I’m afraid I have bad news. I didn’t got any test back, but all those who have omicron have exact same “cold” or “flu” as me. Every little sign I described to them they matched with my “flu”. But, since Swedish labs are so heavy preoccupied with all testes (they even now are sending our tests to Germany because of this), my test too is late. Despite that I took it on Monday. So tomorrow I’ll go to another health centre and take antigen-test. I just need it on the paper that I too have it.

I have no fever anymore but the headache is still there. Also the tension. I could take a shower for the first time since Saturday last week. It was that bad. I was just in bed all the time, didn’t even go to the toilet to do number two-thing either.

I wasn’t done much today, just relaxing, drinking fluids with vitamins, lots of D-vitamin too. But worst thing - which was nausea, high fever and dizziness - are gone. My taste is a bit wired. I can taste food, but it’s much more sensitive. Especially something salted or with spices. My tastebuds are that sensitive - to the slightest. And I feel this weird flavour, besides from the food, that reminds me of xylitol toothpaste. Oh, right, I’m still coughing.

What I’m doing now? Not much. Reading news and the waves from omicron. Yesterday we had over 30000 infected per day, now I don’t know. I stopped counting. I can’t believe that there are people out there without any dose of vaccine at all. Risking their own lives and their nearest and dearest as well. And keeps questioning this, that it’s “harmful flu”. I’ll tell you: I was tops 104 F and burning, and I took TWO of Pfizer’s vaccine. Plus I have bipolar which just having that disease gives you an utter disadvantage compared to anyone who isn’t bipolar. And that we all here are in the risk group because of “just” that.

When I get fully recovered, I’ll take my third shot. And as that nurse said, this will also give me another wall of immunity. Not 100%, but better than I had with three dozes and didn’t had omicron in between. It’s just matter of time when entire Swedish population will have omicron - no matter how bad many of us protect ourselves. There is no need for panic. Test yourself often, take all three doses and stay with the restrictions. Follow the rules and everyone will be good.

Stay safe out there!

Dear reader, it has been 21 days into the new year. And so far, everything went in every possible opposite direction. Especially all these deaths from famous ones. Such as today, Meatloaf. I was never any “diehard fan” of his, but yet I know about few of his songs. Plus his cameo appearance in the song and the movie “The Pick of Destiny” from my beloved Tenacius D (JB and KG). I saw that movie more than once and I was laughing so hard with some scenes, while other were just enjoyable metal to admire - not to laugh. Even DIO had a role in that movie, just as Meatloaf (who played that super conservative-Christian dad of JB that tore all his metal-posters down in his room, while only one was left - DIO’s).

Yes, I’m a metal- and a hard rock-guy myself and I know many things about these legends. Sadly, one by one are leaving us. It isn’t fair. It’s upsetting.

How I’m doing? Much better. I’m still coughing a bit and I cough up mucus and all that crap. No fever. I was at another health centre to get myself tested by antigen test, but since it’s the only one health centre in entire town, I needed an appointment. Which was for Tuesday. I will not test myself there because my five days have passed by now and I can return to the work on Monday. Small tensions still in the head, other than that I’m just fine. I talked to several other people in health centre and it’s okay for me to return to my work. I won’t spread disease. I’m still waiting for my test from Monday to get, but that will take till Sunday. At least. The tests have overloaded all Swedish labs so other countries help us. It’s a mess. Before, I waited 72h tops. I’m thinking to buying tomorrow from my local drugstore some antigen tests even if I know that many of them aren’t reliable. But what shall I do?

I was also outside for the first time. Went 7,5 miles. It was bit chilly but I managed to go anyway. I needed that walk. Few people were outside, very, very few. I was watching the Netflix a bit, relaxed and enjoyed my Friday. Happy that I got through this virus and that I’m back.

Have a nice weekend, dear reader. And stay safe!

Thank you dear Beth! I just did a home antigen-test now. It was negative but the test was done when I didn’t had fever or anything.

I still haven’t got my PCR-test from the health centre.

Today I did a test on myself. I bought it on my local drugstore. I did exactly what it stood to do, followed every step. And I was negative. Thing is, this was an antigen-test and that wasn’t 100% reliable. Not as the antigen-test-machine that health some centres have - in my case one health centre.

I feel much better today, it’s still bit coughing but the headache is not that bad anymore. I think I’ll just go to work on Monday. I helped my dad with some stuff today too. He is happy every time I help him or do anything with him. No walks today, I took a big risk yesterday and I’m not walking anywhere until I’m 100% restored.

I thought that I’ll give you another healthy info about a juice, dear reader. That is if you want to make it. It’s easy-peasy. Just hang on!

You will need:

• One big cup/glass that can contain 16,9 oz

• Concentrated nature juice (such as blueberries, choke berries etc.)

• C-vitamin with zinc (bought from any drugstore)

• Honey

• A spoon

Put the concentrated juice FIRST to the 1/3 of the 16,9 oz (the size of your cup/glass). Put the honey. Fill it up with water. Lastly, put the C-vitamin-pill that can be melt (they exist with all different flavours). Blend it all till there is no “resistance” from the honey and till the C-vitamin pill is melted. Enjoy the drink!

Hello dear reader! I hope you had great weekend. Last night I had my phone’s sound down and didn’t noticed that I got the Monday’s test-result back. So this morning I checked it out. And yes, the PCR-test I took on Monday showed I was positive. This evening I read that more two colleagues are home because of the Covid. Generally the school’s staff is down to very limited few, and I will be tomorrow one of those few left. I cancelled also the third dose, I will take it next week instead. I still cough a bit, such annoying coughing. But I’m ready for duty tomorrow.

I spoke to my cousin who lives in USA, so I told her all this. She was worried about her family but I explained her this can’t be avoided, and that she needed to be prepared. This is no wave, this is a tsunami. And that is why we all need to be prepared. I pulled this off, despite being bipolar and in risk group. But I’m also physically strong, many years behind me at gym, running and such. So this can be individual.

This is it for tonight, dear reader. I don’t know what I’ll face tomorrow, but I’ll keep up the hope and have fun with my students. I think in bad times like these, we all need some hope and trust. And some fairy dust.

What a day. Wow, dear reader. 19 teachers were gone today during the Covid at our school. A school who approximately have 350 students. I arrived at 7 am to my work and all this silence before the students arrived. Surely, my class isn’t big but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t those students who can take some energy (sometimes even all energy) out of you when you already have your colleague. But today and some days from now on I’ll be alone.

Please do understand dear reader, that it’s not just “teaching” the children. It’s also caring, making calmness, be always low affective, making them all pay attention, focus and concentration on right things, adapt your lessons for some students who needs adaption, make sure everyone of them are in a line when we’re going to lunch so they all go first outside on the very interesting schoolyard then to the entrance of another section of the school, though a long corridor without running as if it was a race on a dragstrip, forming two lines where they can pick different food, making them all take some and taste some, make sure that they ate enough and drank too so they all can have energy for the last lessons, do same thing again with a queue and back via schoolyard and up to our classroom on second floor, making them all follow in line (without any shenanigans), start the lesson where I prepared it all at 7 am, start the lesson where all those students who needed to go to toilet did before the lesson starts, make sure that they all pay attention, no shouting or such, having discussions, checking that they all understood, also modelling to them each and every exercise, adapting.

The list goes on and on and on. On top of that - I’m still recovering from my last week when I had Covid. So around 15 am I felt some strong pain in the right side of my chest and my throat. The throat was as if someone squeezed it harder and harder, got so tightened. And my right chest just struck me with more pain. Then beamed to my right shoulder and stomach too. I in light panic asked my colleague WTH that was, and she told me “you are having a stress-attack”. I then breathed in squares to easy up this crap, but it didn’t wanted to go away. I managed to finish last preparations for tomorrow’s lessons, took the car and went slowly home. I don’t even know how I could handle that manual gearbox, but I did.

Came home ate fast, and went out for a little walk. Only 2 miles, but it was refreshing. Now I don’t have that pain in my chest (some of it it’s still there but it’s much better), it’s on my shoulder and my right stomach. Now I’m trying to relaxing. This is how a teacher’s day can look like during heavy pressure. And when are almost entire of our staff completely gone.

Take care of you, dear reader. And swim safe!

The juice preparation sounds excellent. Very healthy.

It sounds like you are a profoundly gifted teacher. What is the general age of your students?

Well, so it was covid after all. I hope your health continues to improve, and does so quickly.

Remember that important breathing.

Thank you Beth. They are 2nd graders, 8-year olds. I’m preparing now myself for the job, woke 6 am. And off I go to the work where 19 of my colleagues are at home even today during Covid-illness. Wish me luck!My diary: To support and help othersMy diary: To support and help others

What a day, dear reader. Still so many of my colleagues missing. But before I went to the job this morning, early, I watched news via Swedish TV4. In the studio was a man invited - a scientist and a professor in virology. Many viewers had worries about third dose of vaccine and didn’t knew how to do IF they get Covid first but still wants the third dose. I was one of them. And now I know. IF you get the Covid, you need to wait at least three months before you can take a third shot. That is the advice. Why? Because, taking it let say a week or two weeks after or even one month after you hit Covid, it will have useless impact to defend your body. As if you didn’t had any protection at all, and you wasted your dose.

I don’t know what You other have in mind regarding this, but for me I’ll sit calm in the boat and wait till April if I have to. I’m thinking now that I’ll start to gym again, not isolate myself anymore. I’ve been isolated since the September last year and I’ve noticed that no matter how well you isolate yourself, you can win over Covid. Well, you can win by merging with it - assimilate. And then adapt your body through it. You I’ll still not win over it, but you will be a part of it. And it will be a part of you for as long as you live. This doesn’t mean I’ll be a jackass and fool around at restaurants and pubs/bars. But I can treat myself to go to the gym and make a long-awaited comeback.

All in all the day went well and kids enjoyed themselves. Nice to see that they like to be in school and have fun. Because I’m that age, you need to think how they will have fun. And also to praise them for things they improve, and also see together with them the improvement and follow it up. I also have reviews on my lessons where all students vote (raising their hands) to see if this lesson was any fun or not. So they also practice how they can affect my lessons and improve them. Plus they learn one part of the democracy, an important one: to have the opportunity itself to vote. And also to learn the importance of voting.

Now this night I was so tired (came home 18:00 pm). Late again, at work since 7:30 am. Done all preparations for this week. Watched on HBO Max my favourite series “Billions” and dreamed I was in American federal justice system and worked as a prosecutor. I would be a god damn good an fair one, just as Paul Giamatti’s character. Always hungry master tactician. See all patterns, and help people against rotten people. Help poor and innocent people, and put corrupted people behind bars. But that’s only in my imagination. I’m a teacher and I like my profession. To educate future generations and beyond. Even upcoming prosecutors. Perhaps one day I’ll have some kind of collaboration with American teachers, but today I’m not in that position to have even with teachers from Denmark. Or Norway. Despite I’m close (geographically) both. Ah well, as I tell to myself in my thoughts while dreaming:

One fine day. Just as that song with same name. You know, by The Chiffons…

Dear reader. Today I enjoyed for the first time. Just all this stress this week that was around me I wanted to enjoy. I did a long walk in the sunny January. My mom wanted to join me so she did. We were out in the countryside. All those meadows that now started to be more and more green due to the amount of sun and warmer climate we getting here now in Sweden.

This pressure from the chest did troubled me since Monday, but now I feel less and less from it. Having that much stress so my right chest (whole damn side) start to go in heavy pain, then your entire throat got squeezed and squeezed, that means you need to chill. A lot. I don’t know what I will except tomorrow when I return. I’m off duty every Wednesday since I’m only working 75%. And I don’t think I’ll manage to work 100% next month, especially since that episode from Monday’s. Stress kills, or it can kill. Plus that I have all fantastic pressure by my administrator. Plus Covid-19, plus planning, documentation and other administrative services that we need to provide. All this paperwork as if these 8-year-olds studying in a university - not primary school. Also, they don’t have important school-material such as colorpencils anymore. I feel so sad for my little students. So many times I told the responsible buyer to get some stuff…

Oh yes, on top all of this that happens at my work, I have also my bipolar to think about. My health. Oh, that thing. That thing that seems to be “high priority” by my school administrator as well only to be shot to pieces in some other context. Seems documentation is more important than someone’s health. And the “if you think it’s too much for you, perhaps you need to look for anther job”-argument. My boss will never know what bipolar is. It’s not important, since it’s diversity and bipolar is actually “common” these days. I guess some people will always look for errors. And if there aren’t any, they will create them for you. Empathy - that is the highest knowledge, something that these people unfortunately not have. Especially when you are for them nothing but a number.

Take care of yourself, dear reader. I’ll have faith in some people, even though if they will never have that for me.

Dear reader. I’m too exhausted to write anything about today. I got another chest-pain on my right chest. So many of my colleagues gone due to Covid. I don’t see how I’ll pull myself together for tomorrow. Add less and less sleeping. It’s just a wonder that I didn’t got any of those dips now. I stared at work 7:30 am and came home 19:00 pm. I had only 15 minutes lunch break because of an meeting with my colleagues and my boss.

I know I’m only one day away from the holy weekend, but I’m worried for tomorrow. I prepared everything at top notch, and still I think I’ve might have forgot something for my students. Students, who take a lot of energy and power. My right gastrocnemius muscle is in pain, and my feet hurts even more than ever before. Worst is my head. This squeezing feeling. I’m sorry but I can’t write more. I will now rest myself.

Hello everyone. I’m so tired. I have quit my work little
earlier today, 16:00 pm. But I didn’t took any break at all. I was on my feet since 8:00 this time. Not only was it illegal, I was once again asked to have a meeting that I couldn’t say no to (in any way). I came home, tired. Just wanted to go to bed and rest myself. I kind of did rested myself. By reading.

Later on the day I watch my favourite Netflix-show, Ozark. I have been followed it since it has premiere. Fantastic good show, great actress and actors. If you haven’t seen it, see it. I saw now three episodes in row and unfortunately I couldn’t see any more. I was too tired. So what I’m now going to do? Go to bed and rest myself by deep sleeping. I can feel all my head on a pressure. During my episodes from bipolar, I have learned to see early sings on myself. In the beginning I learned the hard way. But now, I know. Heavy stress and very low sleep are two signs.

I thought I wouldn’t write much now, and yet I did. I also found out that my mom got positive for Covid. But luckily, she is having it as a cold - and not as a flu with fever as I had.

Take care of Yourselves, take ALL doses of vaccines. And don’t stress! Sleep well and don’t do this I’m doing at the moment. I’ll find a way to get out of this, before I get myself into one of those supermassive black holes I’ve got stuck back in the days. To listen at my body and respect better the signs along with discipline.

Hi Hex, I hope your mom's covid case stays light.

I have seen an advertisement for Ozark. Right now I'm watching The Tudors. It's about King Henry VIII. Not a great show, but somewhat entertaining. Before this, I watched Versailles (about King Louis XIV) - an absolutely fabulous production.

I hope your Saturday has been restful.
