a sleep-deprived week(s) reflection

The jet lag is strong with this one. Truth. Although it’s been almost 48 hours since I returned from my Scandinavian adventure, sleep hasn’t been much of a thing yet. And, it’s definitely catching up with me.

I point this out for two reasons 1) as an excuse as to why this post is going to be light and, 2) as an excuse in case anything in this post doesn’t make sense. Turns out it’s kind of hard to use your brain and form coherent thoughts on a drastic lack of sleep. I promise in the very near future to log some more substantial thoughts around my recent Scandinavian adventure, including why Helsinki is now on my wish-list of places to live. But, for now, lots of pictures and the usual list of happenings and weekend plans, because that’s truthfully all I can muster right now.
