First day back at work after a two-week break. (I save up flex hours every winter so I can take a proper break over Christmas.)

I thought I’d get my office day done early in the week. Got up early and took the train to central Stockholm.

It was full dark during my commute, and foggy. Patches of grimy, gravelly snow still here and there, but mostly everything was gray and wet.

And then all sorts of meetings cropped up, including an unplanned one-and-half-hour one at the end of the day which led to over an hour’s overtime. And then the commute home and getting groceries and making dinner. I am exhausted.
