Social status and such..

Yes it is me again.. and it is less than 4 months since my last appearance. Well I thought I'd let you know that I'm still married, In Norway this is not something you may take for granted. We now live in our own apartment, that we rent, but still it feels very good. We used to share two showers and two toilets with 10 people. The truth is that though I really treasure to have my own toilet bowl I kind of miss it. Don't get me wrong, it's the people that I miss. It is good to have privacy, but there is this brother who reminded me of what he called "the Norwegian Syndrome". Where it boils down to "myself, myself, and once again myself". As a doctor I suspect that he knows his syndroms. I still haven't seen any of the neighbours at my floor, nor greeted anyone. I sit in my apartment and so do they, this is Norway. Coming from Fitjar, a small and (of my opinion) quite cozy village, I wanted to borrow something from one of the neighbours. My husband, whom I'm still married to yes, looked at me with big eyes: "Can you do that?" I realized that I was about to do something very risky, that not even my husband as a "foreigner" deared do: invade someone's privacy..
Yes, I have been proved to have that diagnosis too
