Drops on grass

Oh what a day. Nothing seems to go smoothly.

This morning I visited a doctor. She gave me prints about few things, said there's no test we can do and you'll know best what's wrong with you. What a waste of time. At least she renewed few prescriptions for me.

Then I tried to do meringues for Father's day, which we have this upcoming Sunday. We'll see my father and mother tomorrow. The meringues went south. They are eatable but look like the ugliest things you've ever seen. So I have to come up with something else. I'm doing a donation to charity in his name, but I'd still like to have something small in my hands when we go there.

Received a postcard today, which is always nine. Except when it's form the dentist who is reminding that your yearly check up time is now!

Went outside with the camera but everything looks so depressing (brown) that I just wanna scream. We had sunshine for a minute today.

The days are getting darker and nights longer each day. We still have 6 weeks (shouldn't have counted) as it gets darker and darker and then it will very slowly start to move towards days being longer. 21st of December in Helsinki we'll have day light for less that 6 hours a day. But it might be weeks that we live in the gray weather. (On 20th of March the night and day will be equally long.)

The older I get that harder this time of year gets. Basically it's about 4 months that we live in the darkness and then it gets better. It's hard! I love the endless summer days here when there's no darkness. but this is just so hard to deal with. (I have the bright light bulb which helps a little.) I wish they would put some big mirrors in the space which would give us sunlight during the winter too!

Enjoy the sunshine if you have it and take care!
