Home sweet home

I just got back from Warsaw where I’ve spent the last six days to do the EPT. As always it was a great time. I miss my little family there when I’m at home. The tour wouldn’t be the same without all of them on it. Even though, normally when I get back home I’m exhausted and wanna sleep for a week or two. This time I’m not that tired and this time I slept less than I use too. I guess the whole week gave me inspiration and joy which have been something I missed out on when focusing 100 percent on work and nothing else. I still managed to do a great work there I think even though I was hungover and tired all the time. For some reason I had the extra strength to carry on.

My life is close to perfect. I have the best friends you can imagine, I have the best colleagues, I have a son who’s intelligent and happy, I have a great family who are always there for me no matter what happens. Except for this I also have the best job ever. I know I have it because I’ve fought hard to become where I am today and it makes me proud of who I have become.

I arrived in Warsaw last Friday. Got to the hotel and had a coffee with Hilda waiting for Pontus to show up a few hours later. He was sharing room with William but W wasn’t coming before two days later. First night me and a lot of great people went out to have dinner at Cinnamon. A restaurant that becomes a nightclub after midnight. It was a lovely dinner and a lot of interesting discussions as always when you’re with intelligent people…like I am at every single EPT. After Cinnamon we ended up at the nightclub Platinum and I came home around four I think waking P up when trying to get undressed which is a big problem when you have problems just standing up *s*. On Saturday the tournament started, worked all day to around midnight and then we all went out again. I was planning to go home around three but couldn’t refuse Pontus, Andreas and Robert when they asked me to join them to Cinnamon at five o’clock in the morning.

On Sunday I was a wreck. Not kidding. I had ache in my liver cause of all the alcohol and really needed a day off which I had just hanging out with P and William who had arrived that day. On Monday we threw an after party in the PokerStars lounge after the play finished. A lot of people and a lot of fun. That night remembered me of the “old days” at the tour when we weren’t that many and always did things together. Nowadays we are so many that we split into groups and do stuff with our little community’s. Of course we hang out together too but not as often as it used to be.

On Wednesday morning after like two hours (at the most) I got woken up by William who wanted to have my VISA-card to book a flight back home. He was exhausted after Amsterdam, had tilted online and just wanted to get back home to Sweden. When I woke up a few hours later ha had left. This didnät stop me and P to go out the last night in Warsaw and so we did. Arnaud Mattern and Ludovic Lacay threw a party celebrating their final table finishes at Platinum and we all went there. Only problem was that we were the only ones at the night club which made it a little bit boring so we went home pretty early.

I slept to 1pm today and then just packed my stuff and went straight to the airport to catch my flight back home. So I thought. My flight was canceled and I had to wait at the airport for six hours before the next one. Damm. I was sooo tired that i fell asleep when having a coffee with Hilda at the airport and then for three hours at the gate even though the couch (in metal without any pillows on it) was a nightmare. I got woken up by one of the other passengers who asked me if I was supposed to be on that flight or not. Ha ha! I also slept the entire way home so I, for once, feel fresh and awake.

On Saturday I’m going to my mom’s place to have dinner. It’s a late birthday dinner since I’m traveling all the time and this was the only date everyone in my family (we are like 20 ppl) could make it. It will be nice to spend some time with them. I was thinking of getting Cas two days early but decided not to since I have some deadlines for Monday and wont be the funniest mom to hang out with this weekend.

Ah well…it’s 3am and I’m catching up all the episodes of my favorite programs that I’ve missed in Warsaw so I’d better get back to it and try not to turn my days up side down once again…

Hugs kisses & cookies
