My week in Jämtland part 1

It's been a while and I have valid excuses/explanations and whatever else it's called.

Travelled to Östersund from Manchester last monday (4/6). And all was well in the airport bookshop despite the fact that I did buy "The God Delusion" to give as a present. Well, all was well until I was to pass through the securitychecks...

They always (!!) single me out and it's really beginning to piss me off! I know that I am the perfect person who fits the description of "white female, aged 25-30" and I do understand that they need to do these check but it's getting tiring.

I had to take my shoes off, and my socks (I had cute socks on though) and they searched my bag and whoopedidoooooo! They found -and kept- my migraine tablets. As if I was going to slip one into the capten's coffee or someting and I could feel a potential migraine coming on and the hassle at the sec-gate didn't exaclt help either.

If it's airport rage they're waiting for; they've got one coming and it'll be n a s t y!

Anyway, I did get a proper migraine which isn't something you want when flying. The pressure alone is a killer and then to be placed right next to the engines on both flights!! I think you can imagine my pain!

I managed to surpress it failry well until I got to A & P's house, where I vomited and could not be of much assistance when cooking or even eat the glorious meal they'd prepared. I was ever so embarrassed! Luckily I had some more migraine tablets in my luggage (mummy's advice) so it did pass over night but I was not a happy camper.

The next day I hopped along to school to say hi to everyone and my girls, Sofia and Ida, were really happy to see me and a lot of the other students (3rd and 2nd years) seemed pleasantly surpised and happy that I'd come to visit them.

It was good fun to see them again!
