The Virus Diary – Month 11  – Second wave

"As of 22 November there have been over 57.8 million cases and 1.3 million deaths reported globally since the start of the pandemic" Source: WHO weekly report And now 5th of January 2021 there has been 84,2 million cases and 1,8 million deaths (source WHO) The amount sounds huge and is huge. I stopped thinking [...]

The Virus Diary – Day 212 – Second wave or not?

Let the eyes speak for you ๐Ÿ˜€ That's the question on everybody's lips everywhere. Some countries seem like they have never been over the first wave, and some have clearly entered the second wave phase already. I suppose Finland is tiptoeing on the rope not sure on which side to fall. We would need to [...]

The Virus diary – Day 152 – Holiday season

The situation here in Finland is so much better than it was the last time I wrote. The government decided to lift the restriction in early June for the first time and have since done some more changes to them. Now we are allowed to eat in a restaurant (with restrictions... 50% capacity inside and [...]

The Virus Day 116 – Restrictions lifted slowly

Primary schools and kindergartens opened up again this week here in Finland. In a way it's an end to a certain era of the fight against Covid-19. I doubt we will need to have this drastic measures again, but you never know. It has helped a little with the concentration now that there is less [...]

The Virus – Day 97 – How much longer?

This is now longer new and exciting. This is no longer the new normal. This is now abnormal and I would like it to end. I think that pretty much sums up the feelings of the past few weeks, but let's dig deeper into why I feel this. No running... no forest, so gardening! I [...]

The Virus – Day 83 – Life is still life

Yep, all good. Life seems to continue normal and you don't even think about this "new normal" that much anymore. Teenagers think that this is better because they can wake up 15 minutes before the school starts and preschooler thinks it good because she can be with mommy all day. Morning circle and crafts through [...]

The Virus – Day 75 – New (different) reality

This new reality is becoming more and more "normal". I have gotten used to this waking up and not going anywhere. It's actually nice not having to hurry anywhere. My 6 yo has been really good with her preschool home work and has begun to understand that mommy works now and mommy has meetings. She [...]

The Virus – Day 70 – Another week @ home

I had to go to the shop today a bit further to get some food and my car had a layer of dust on top of it. I started thinking how long has it actually been since I have driven my car. I did not remember. It's my fifth week working from home and 3rd [...]

The Virus – Day 69 – @ home with kids W2

Thought I would start a "diary" on this situation as there are many things going on my mind and maybe writing them down might help. I will start from the beginning and hop to this day 69 (according to WHO. They started to publish the situation reports on 21st of January 2020). When we got [...]

More snow, more winter fun โ„๏ธ
Such a perfect weekend with outdoor activities and sports. Sun is shining and spring is around the corner โ˜€๏ธ
Such a beautiful sunset today in Helsinki ๐Ÿงก
Remember that sometimes you need a break ๐Ÿ‘
These few words on my little home office wall will continue to be my guideline when heading to three week "lockdown" ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ˜…
Funny how always the most strenuous training feels the best? As if we are programmed to feel good after "surviving" ๐Ÿ˜…
Inspired by @lolaodusogaofficial turning pages from the history book ๐Ÿ“š I think year is 1997 so I would have been 24 years old. It seems like forever ago especially when you put another 24 years into it to get to this year ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
A year ago today I was at #Kilimanjaro 4700 m waiting for the others to come down from #UhuruPeak ๐Ÿ—ป
