Jotted down on March 15, from the kitchen table in Jönköping.

💼 We’re now a two-business household! Sanna has started her own company too, and I’m playing a small part in helping her get off the ground. The fact that we’re both our own bosses, with all the work, challenges, and risks that entails, also comes with a big upside: flexibility. And that’s something we both really value—the ability to choose when, where, and how much we work.

My desk with a stack of books and Affinity Publisher open on the monitor, displaying my work in progress.

The family business turns 100 this year! Dad has written about its history, and I’m typesetting the book. So, my desk (and the rest of the apartment) is covered with books for reference and inspiration. It’s a lot of fun and feels good to work on a father-and-son project like this. Also, after working in Adobe InDesign for… I don’t know, twenty years? I’m giving Affinity Publisher a try for this project. No complaints so far.

I’m also working with Manton and Micro.blog every week, on a very part-time basis. It’s been a while since I’ve been part of a support team, so it feels great to be back. Helping people is my jam!

👩‍🎤 Last year, we went to a bunch of live performances, and that reminded me of how awesome that experience is. So, I’ve kept buying tickets to shows. Svart Ridå, Jazz på Svenska, and Charli XCX (Way Out West) are all booked. And I’m seriously considering splurging on overpriced secondhand tickets to see Billie Eilish at Avicii Arena. (Let me know if you know of a good deal!)

📚 Always be reading. I recently finished The Galaxy, and the Ground Within, so now I’ve read all novels by Becky Chambers. I’ve got some short stories left, but after that, there’s nothing more published. What should I do then—start over?!

🎮 I haven’t really played much lately, but! Echoes of Wisdom was exactly what I needed—cozy, with the right amount of puzzles, and absolutely adorable. And today, Sanna and I booted up Split Fiction for the first time, the latest couch co-op from Josef Fares’ studio Hazelight.

🌞 The last few weeks have had such great weather. We’ve had coffee and reading sessions in the grass in the park and on the jetty by lake Munksjön. It’s really given us a taste of what’s to come. (Hint: summer!)

A bun on fine china in the grass, with coffee in a thermos and the book ‘I, Robot’.
