I went to the doctor, to get tested for stomach parasites. Just to be safe.
I’m indulging in food and TV shows.
The darkness is disorienting. I have not come back to the Nordic countries in winter for fourteen years, and never after a more than two months stay in the tropics. I do not mind the northern winter darkness in general, I never have, but it’s the suddenness. Not being eased into it during an entire autumn. My body doesn’t know what to do about all this sleep that my brain is telling it to engage in.
It will take some getting used to, the winter.
