Finally edited the pictures from my cameras- only took a few days for the pictures of the cat but the others I’ve taken? Wow. Too long.
I will not post every pictures here in one post. That will become to much .
Click on them to make them bigger (the last two).
Top will be colors and under will be on black and white of the same pictures. Please let me know which ones you prefer. Color or BW?
I will make more posts with pictures I have taken so stay tuned 🥰 It’s a lot of photographs!
(This post was supposed to be uploaded on October 9th – my apologies! I fell asleep while writing the post on October 9th and October 10th was just a weird day)
So many places and so little time. Crazy how days fly by, and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we are soon in the middle of October! Now that’s crazy!
(October 9th) The day started with a visit to the dentist, where they shaped/filed a tooth for me (fixed the problem I had) and asked a lot of questions about my headaches & migraines. They used a funny-looking “camera scan” to take “photos” of my teeth, etc. Crazy! NO MOLDING WITH THE NASTY PURPLE BLOB STUFF ANYMORE! Yes, I was happy when I didn’t need to do that. lol! It only takes 3 weeks to get the mouth guard done, so in 3 weeks I’m getting it. Nervous but excited! Praying to God that it will help me with my headaches and migraines.
The reason why I’m nervous is because when I was younger, I used to have a mouth guard. Well, one night. I had it on for one night and woke up the next day completely deaf in my right ear. My sister even screamed straight in my ear, but I couldn’t hear anything. This lasted for a month (luckily I got my hearing back!), and ever since then, I’ve been terrified of those. So I am super nervous, almost at the point of being terrified and scared (I know it means the same thing), but I need to try. If this mouth guard works, I’m going to get one I can wear daily as well. Mama needs a break from the pain, and hopefully this works.
“Have you tried this and this medicine?” Yes. I have tried literally every migraine medicine that Sweden has to offer, but it doesn’t work.
If the mouth guard doesn’t work, I don’t know what else to do. I have been looking into Botox, but I’m also terrified of that!
Now let’s move on from the dentist and my scares.
After the dentist I went home. Eat something, and look for the charger to the R10 LP-E17 battery charger. It was gone. Already yesterday. Luckily I had power in my batteries! Hint; they didn’t last for long.
They have shipped my new 3-in-1 “machine,” so hopefully by Tuesday it will be here. My 3-in-1 machine is a new charging station for my batteries, and I can also use and charge it with a power bank! Uh, excuse me? Take all my money!! The charging station will also work as a power bank for my phone! Wait, what!? That’s insane! So technically you can say it’s like 1000i1—not really, but you get it. lol!
No rainboots and ghost sound
Afternoon, I spent with my bestfriend. I actually had school but had meetings that made me not go to school for half an hour. I thought it was pointless. In school they were going to exercise—I don’t know why we would have that, but anyway—so I grabbed Elin (best friend), and we went out for a photowalk. Yup. I brought my cameras so she could use one (my faithful companion Canon 450D—Mufasa), and I used the R10. We took photos of mushrooms, and my goal with the photowalk was to find mushrooms on trees—with happiness I found some!
(October 10th input here; I was gonna convert the files so I could edit them but all off the sudden my memory card was gone and now it’s nowhere to be found!)
Back to October 9th; After the photowalk, we went to our place to have something to eat – Burger for me and pizza for Elin. Just laughing and talking. Having a great time! Time flies when we are together. Reels, jokes, games, gossip etc. Our hang outs are so different. Yes we play board games etc at restaurants (our restaurant) and just having a great time.
I love burned burger bun! Yes I’m weird.
We were supposed to go out and take pictures of the lights, etc., now with the colorful leaves on the ground and trees, but sadly, my batteries had died—all of them. I had 4 extra batteries, and each battery was supposed to last for two hours, but they didn’t. I need to look that up.
So we went to the grocery store. I bought my beloved soda I have been looking for. It’s rare, and I think they are discontinued now after this batch, which makes me so sad. It’s pure childhood memories for me. At least I got one bottle now 🙌🏻
Ghost sounds—this is funny! Me and Elin took a bus to the grocery store, and a man came on the bus as well, but while passing us, HE DID GHOST SOUNDS! I couldn’t stop laughing! Well, I guess he was practicing for trick or treat? Soon Halloween 🎃
What else? Well, I joined Michaela’s very first live on TikTok. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be on video with her due to it being her first time, and she needed to do 2 more lives with 30 minutes each before I could join her.
Now this was my Thursday and here we go with friday
Friday wasn’t interesting; I went and got my son’s stuff. ordered medicines, picked up the medicines, and went home. Sadly I wanted to go out and have a moment for myself—photography. I didn’t have so much “alone time” after I came home. Batteries were dead, and I also had to go pick up E from school, make dinner, etc.
After d/WordPressied my phone and wanted to transfer the camera files to the phone (my laptop is too weak for Photoshop and Lightroom, so I use my phone when editing), but all of a sudden, the memory card was gone. I had two, but the 256GB card was all gone! Nowhere to be found! So strange!
My blog/WordPress was acting so weird! All of a sudden I had a blog theme design I had no clue where it came from. So many sites had been added, media files etc. (if you read HERE and HERE (after panic!) you will know what I mean with this)
Yeah, so this was my Thursday and Friday. Not so exciting yet panicking moment. No anxiety attack though! Woho! That sh*t was scary and I never wanna experience that ever again.
Some photos I took (not all off them but some)
These was taken with my phone due to the fact I cant show you pictures from my memory card (still missing)
I am so happy now. Finally my domain name is working on the blog! It cost me a bit of money to upgrade, but it was worth it. Maybe change the design later? Hmmm.
Yes, I have noticed that my post before this doesn’t have a headline/title. I fell asleep while writing it. The eyelids were so heavy.

Hello Pumpkins 🎃 How are you on this cold October day? Well, I’m in bed right now. Doing some online shopping. The charger for my camera batteries is nowhere to be found, so I ordered a new one where I can charge three batteries at the same time, plus I can charge it via one of my power banks when I’m on the go! The happiness when I found that charger. It wasn’t expensive either, which made me happier.
Today I have actually been out in the cute woods behind where I live. I have lived here for three years, and today was the first day I went there. Insane!
But the day started with shopping and a meeting. I saw the wooden area when I was waiting on the bus and took pics to send to a friend of mine in New Zealand who also is doing photography. Well, let me say like this; the conclusion was – go and buy my very first rain boots ever! Scary! But off I went to the town!
Honestly, it felt so weird to have rain boots on. I didn’t have any when I was younger due to me having wide feet and high ankles, which made it super difficult to find, but now, 30+ years later, I own my very first pair!
You see in the top picture what the boots look like; therefore, they are 50% off! which made me super happy (my smile when I think about it is crazy)!
After the shopping I had a meeting; it went well! Nothing serious, just a simple meeting. Afterwards I went home and put my phone on charge plus the power banks. After looking out the windows, I knew I had to grab my stuff and go out! The sun was disappearing, which makes the light amazing when taking pictures of tiny objects, which in this case were mushrooms. Super cute!
Due to me having diabetes and knowing how fast my feet/toes get cold when it’s autumn and winter, I grabbed my winter socks. So I had two pairs of socks on me. Fit perfectly in the boots.
I used my R10 mostly but also took some photos with the phone and I thought of showing you guys here. Not all off them though but some. I’ll probably tomorrow fix the photos from my cameras and show you those as well.
For me, this woods was magical. I don’t know how to explain, it just was. I was so shocked and surprised when I saw how beautiful the woods behind my home was, I almost dropped my jaw onto the ground. Note that I HATE being out in the woods due to the animals and bugs.
Lately I have discovered that I enjoy macro and close-up more on mushrooms. Is it because it’s autumn or? I don’t know. Before I didn’t do that, but I have also noticed that my eye for details has sharpened! Crazy!
Yeah, so this is pretty much my day. I was not out for long, though; my mind went crazy and grossed me out thinking of bugs in my hair, etc. Especially after I found clothes in the woods, and I moved a pair of jeans, and it was COVERED in disgusting bugs. The panic was no joke!
So what is plus and minus for today ?
Plus; the bargain on the rain boots • the woods behind my home • photographies • meeting that went well! • I didn’t fall asleep in bed while the food was done by M (which is gigantic for me! Whenever I lay down in bed or so and put a blanket on either my shoulders or feet, it’s K.O. (knock out) so I’m happy that I didn’t fall asleep. • I managed to get my domain working
Minus; the bugs • the cold • discovered that someone had taken a screenshot of a snap on my story and later blocked me, so I don’t know who has done it. • finding a suitcase, one fancy men shoe and other clothes in the woods – made me uncomfortable.
How was your day?
I know I didn’t blog yesterday. I am so sorry! It was chaotic at home, but today I will blog.
Hi, hello, my beautiful people! I hope everything to fine with you all!
I have just come home from school (well, kind of; an hour ago), so I’m currently in the bath writing this.
Today in school, the classmates, two teachers, and I have been to the forest. Just because we are studying to be the pre-step preschool teacher, we had to go to the forest today. Just because the teachers go to the forest with children sometimes.
What did we do? We went on a walk and answered questions. Well, you talked with your mate you were paired with about them. Some questions were kind of weird, and I and AK (the classmate) pretty much didn’t know what to answer on some of them. One question was, “Have you been dead and had experience? What do you remember?” Like, how would I know that?
Such a weird question. Oh well, after that walk, the teachers spoke about Buddhism and how they do mandalas, blow them out after prayers, etc. So we had a mission to make our mandalas.Odd, but we did it. I took pictures, but I don’t think people want me to share that, but it’s all good.
After that we had a bit of lunch and talked, and I and S joked with one of our teachers (L). She drank water out of a syrup bottle, and I told S earlier for fun, “She drinks out of a syrup bottle. I bet it’s white syrup,” and I was right! Crazy!
Anyway, the jokes we did with the teacher (she joined in on the jokes) and said that we think it’s something else (vodka), and L laughed and said yes. So we continued and said it was mixed with some water so she wouldn’t get exposed. We all laughed.
So me and S went on with the bottle and L told us some funny stories etc. It was actually a fun moment in the forest (even though I complained a lot! Haha! I dislike being in the forest due to all the bugs etc)
After lunch we had an other activity (we did four activities in total during this class) and that was to paint, either something with forest related or feelings. I tried to make a sunset but that one failed extremely hard. I’m better to paint with pens than watercolors.
Fun part… or maybe not so funny, but S and AK were fine with it. I did some color splatter on my painting, and it accidentally came on AK’s bag and S’s shoes. I apologized so much when we saw it. I was so embarrassed. I even splattered paint on myself, my bag and the bench we sat on. Atleast I participated. Lol!
I had already told my teachers and classmates that I’m a photographer and a blogger, so they had to be prepared that I would take photos. I did. A few. Lol.
I’m not sharing all, just some. Click on the picture to see bigger/full size.
About my fingers (I will explain better in another post): my son has pulled my fingers so much when wanting to show me things or get me to follow him, so I have started to get problems with my fingers. Therefore, the sports tape on them keeps them “straight” and helps with the pain.
The bag in the last picture actually has a text on it, but I removed it due to it not being a kind text. No, I don’t have the text out towards people when I walk with it.
Yes, I have permission to share pictures of my classmates when we had the painting activity. I asked and told them I would cover their faces. They were okay with that except one student. which I respect, so she’s not in any pictures.
Hello my loves! iam currently in the bath writing this post. As you all know, I went back home to Sweden last Saturday (26th) and yesterday (sunday) was a huge struggle for me.
I was awake the entire time! I didnt sleep at all that night, or on the plane nor the train. I didnt go to sleep until 11pm so i dont know how many hours that I was awake (and im honestly to tired to count right now).
I really tried to get some sleep on the plane and train but no. I couldn’t. not even for a second.
Saturday ; it was one stressful morning / day. I didnt sleep anything at all. Everything was closed at the airport when I arrived there so I had to wait to be able to buy something to eat. Luckily I had ice tea with me that I drank until a coffee shop opened.
The sandwich was very.. interesting. I dont know what kind of ham they have in Italy but its way different than what im used to.
Sandwhich; edamer cheese, some lettuce and some ham. Heated up. ●●●● 2 of 5.
Fruit cup; mix of apple, pineapples, melon and peach. ●●●● 3 of 5. I couldn’t eat the apples due to problems and the reason why so low in points was because to tasted like its been out in the sun for hours.
Ice tea – Peach; When it comes to ice tea iam very very picky so I was actually surprised that I found an ice tea from a convenience store next to my hotel where I stayed at, that I really liked. Not so sweet and not so bitter. Perfect combination. ●●●● 4 of 5. The flavors was smashing but there’s something I cant put finger on that I was missing. I recommend this tea tho! (I will see if I find a picture later of it)
At the airport in Stockholm, Sweden I got really mad because my luggage was delayed and actually lost but later was found. Fortunately I got it in time so I could take the train I had tickets to instead of buying new ones. The amount of stress and to find the right platform of right side of the airport for the right train etc was .. wow. but luckily I managed JUST IN TIME to find it.
While waiting those few minutes I had to spare before the train came i noticed that the suitcase of mine was damaged! It is the second time I use this suitcase! I have never in my life ever thought that it was true with what I have seen.. that the airport damage someones property/ belongings and now I have seen it myself! I was (still are) beyond me. Mad? Yes! Upset? Ofcourse! Kinda make myself feel dumb? Oh yes! Like never in my wildest dreams I ever thought this would actually happen!
with 3% battery left on my phone i made a quick call to notify M about the suitcase. After several pictures taken later, I finally stepped on the train. Smacked the suitcase behind me and just sat down. Tried to get a little bit of sleep but during the train home I felt how my bloossugar was declining and going down so I rushed to grab the fruit cup I remembered I had.
On the train I edited some photos I took and tried this black and white contrast thing. I dont know what I feel / if I like them but here is some I show you before I talk about yesterday (Sunday)
Click on picture to see them full size.
Sunday; with the big S.. sleeping.. I was so tired yesterday. I fell asleep three times within a few hours. It was like someone had smacked my head several times with something big and heavy. I couldn’t keep my eyes open. So after E went to sleep I finally went to bed.. 20.15pm ish or so.
I didnt have any energy. It’s like all those sleepless nights I had in Venice due to migraine and heat just came crashing down on me and yeah. Today iam feeling a bit better. Still super tired but a bit better. Back to reality life. Routines is finally starting again with E and his school. Night schedules are changed back and now comes the hard part… to get myself up and stay awake during the days.
Two weeks / 14 days left til I go back to school and become a student. .. AGAIN! But this time im actually taking a big step in right directions to become the preschool teacher for special need childen. I can’t wait! I’m excited but on same time im terrified because its at the same school as I did my nurse education and I hate that school.
im gonna fix more pictures and add them here in the blog. I will also share some on my instagram; thecaffeinatedraccoon yes it is really my username on Instagram. I had to change due to the stalker in my former school and havent changed back since. I might do that one day.
(quick Google translator – good afternoon my loves. I dont know if it translated correctly though)
I’m on the way to Murano to change boat to go to Burano which has been a goal of mine for this trip. I leave tomorrow so lets go!
It’s raining though but as a photographer of landscape etc its the perfect weather. No harsh lights from the sun or so. Perfect.
I will post photos i have taken on my trip here. I dont know honestly how many photos I have taken but unfortunately I have taken most of them with my phone. The heat has shut down my cameras so many time due to overheating so I’m not risking it.
Anyway, I will blog later. 1h boat ride to Murano ans then we have to wait a bit to go to Burano. Iam so excited for the colorful houses! Ohmygod iam so happy and so excited!
Let’s go!
So the other day we went to the Golden Gate Bridge of Sweden. A beautiful location in my opinion but my man didn’t find it so fun.
it might be as “flashy” as the GGB but atleast its similar to it.
The drive was just about two hours which is okey. We were bored at home so I came up with the idea to go here because M has never seen it before and I wanted to share a moment with E.
one thing iam kinda “disappointed ” about this location is the view of the surroundings. Lol. I know i know “Emma, they can’t control the nature”.
Sadly I couldn’t take photos from different angles or from different point of view.
●● Now I have a countdown and alot to do! Iam going to Italy – ALONE! Scary! Iam very excited but also kinda nervous and scared. I will take a lot of photos ofcourse and I will blog if I find internet to keep you guys updated and come along with me on this trip! Woho!
i will answer your comments! i just saw them! i havent gotten notifications on the jetpack app about comments, likes etc! IAM SO SORRY! I use jetpack when blogging on phone.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
well, almost all green. Atleast it’s no snow in sight which makes me so so happy. I really dislike snow.
Husband worked til 10am, went to sleep and after that we went on a small car ride together with E. Pretty cozy. First ice cream and later we saw a lot of animals.
How have your day been? Laundry and folding laundry has been my entire day except when cuddle or playtime with son. Thank God the weekend is finally over and all the week days routines is back in action (we have routines on weekends as well but not as strict as week days).
Preparing with a packing list , ok iam insane. I have already started to write list of what to pack for our vacation. One week and if I know myself, I’m gonna have the big suitcase by myself. Lol!
I apologize for not answering your comments 😭 I’m truly sorry! I will answer them as soon as I have battery in my laptop (I have problems commenting via jetpack app). I am so sorry 😔🌸
● new name on instagram; @capturehiddengems ●
I still haven’t found my tone of niche. I like colors and I like the dark tones.
hey guy! I have been MIA for a while due to being sick, missed school etc. Iam feeling a little better now so I actually went to school yesterday but man, the calcu made my brain so tired.
How are you!? I hope you all are doing good and enjoy this beautiful Saturday! The sun is shining, and the itch to go outside and snap photos is coming strong but unfortunately I can not go out and take photos today due to having my son at home. Lol plus my ear is in pain.
I will upload pictures i have taken with time but I am updating the Instagram and Facebook page often. Would love if you follow / joined me on my journey!
Goodmorning pumpkins! I hope you all are doing good this lovely Thursday 🙌🏻
im currently in thr bath, writing this. It’s freaking cold here in Sweden and due to my diabetes, my feelings in feets/toes aren’t the best so before I can put on my warm wool socks I need to warm them up.
Plans for today? Well I went to the Healthcare clinic two days ago, met with a doctor who said I have no virus so I’m not in risk to get anyone else sick.. so I guess im going to school. WITH CAUTION OFCOURSE! Before school im gonna go buy more supplies of mouth mask/ facemasks. It’s starting to go low at home. And I’ll also sit in the way way back in the class.
What else? Well i got one of my packages with camera equipment! Woho. My tripod, few filters and also the hand holder (instead of the big to hang around your neck) but unfortunately that hand/wrist holder was bad because I tried it while sitting at the table and it “broke” so luckily the camera was mounted on to the screws.
I had a photowalk yesterday while the sun was out. Unfortunately it was harsh sunlight and i do not like that. But I managed to fix some pictures though.
not the best quality online though. I’ll upload more on my Instagram and Facebook page. Through my eyes and camera.
Photography for me is my kind of relaxation. Unfortunately I went through some things the other day that made me decide to not take pictures in town and around buildings. I will tell you guys more about that later. It was a sad decision for me but I am still scared and haven’t been able to shake off what happened.
