Had a very good time in the Swedish countryside today. <3 We went to Skokloster Castle and poked around there for a while (I love fancy old buildings like that), and then went to have a picnic lunch in the shadow of some church ruins nearby. After that: Sigtuna, for rune stones and more ruins, and also ice cream and lovely weather. :D Aaaand then after that, another castle/palace/mansion thing, can't remember which one it was.

Anyway, I got lots of neat photos - Sea let me borrow a camera, because I didn't have time to grab mine in the evacuation. I'm not sure how many of these pictures turned out, but I guess I'll see that when I take a look later.

And tomorrow we're going into the city to do... something... I actually can't quite remember what.

Tonight: Applying to unemployment insurance. Fun. (Sigh)

The news suggests that people won't be able to return to their homes until the end of the month, at best. Which is basically what I thought. Disappointing, but... yeah. Argh, I really want to be able to go back to work! Though of course nobody is going anywhere until it's safe.

I look forward to the pictures and I hope all the admin stuff goes well.

[yuuago]

Admin stuff is making me tear my hair out :/ BUT I think I'll be able to take care of all of it once I get back in Canada. Basically, I need to make some phone calls, bleh. FUN. Oh, well.

There will definitely be pictures. <3

You should come visit me if you end up having to wait a while to get back into your house! <3 I mean, Fort Saskatchewan is slightly closer to Calgary, so...

[yuuago]

Thanks for the offer. <3 On the one hand, I want to be able to head back home on a moment's notice if the option becomes available. But on the other... being stuck at a relative's place with nowhere to escape to is always torture (I have never enjoyed family visits xD) so I might need to consider it.

[solovei]

of course, gettting back into your house is your #1 priority! But if they're like "nope, nobody can go back for a while!" then, you know... why not? I keep hearing conflicting reports about how close they are to actually fighting this fire, so :/

Ooh, castles!! I hope pictures surface here on journal... >.>

I was reading that they figure the blaze might burn for a month ;~;

[yuuago]

Yeah, that's what I hear too. >< Fortunately, if it moves a sufficient distance away from the city, it might be possible to start cleanup. But. That is the wishful thinking scenario.

And re: Stockholm, there will definitely be photos :D If I manage to stop being lazy about resizing and such.

I wish there was something more tangible I could do from here. I don't have any money at the moment to donate :(

[yuuago]

The thought is appreciated, anyway. <3

Hey Yuu! Saw the Fire News and wanted to make sure you were okey-dokey - seems you Yuuself are, by leagues over the sea! About three weeks ago I bought you a thing I think you might appreciate, but I don't want to send quite yet. One, because fires, and two, because Birthdays. If your place is safe by July, I'll send it your way <3

In the meantime, keep safe, and have amazing travels! Hit me up at ammccomas@gmail if you wish, my dear.

I think about you nearly every day, I just suck at the communication front when Life gets... Lifey.

[yuuago]

Hiii I'm glad to hear from you. <3

Yeah, any and all mail should be put on hold until further notice. Sigh.

I sent you a few private plurks a while ago, did you get them?

Email is noted, will do.
