My goal for March is pretty basic. Take my time and get better from this burnout, and figure out steps to prevent it from being a recurring thing. I am now over two weeks into the sick leave. The fogginess in my head partially lifted this week. I have energy for longer stretches of time now –… Continue reading Goals for March

Status for February goals
In February I wanted to… Order tickets to visit Oslo. – I did not do this. With the level of energy I was having, traveling anywhere seemed like a major task – and even ordering tickets for a future date seemed unwise. Play in the KVSC Trivia Weekend. 50 hours of trivia. Playing from Norway, on… Continue reading Status for February goals
Burnout: week 1
One week of staying home from work. Honestly, it does not feel like it. It feels like I was at work yesterday. One reason for that is that the majority of the days go by quickly without feeling like I do much of anything. I sleep a lot, and it takes me a long time… Continue reading Burnout: week 1
Burned out

Only, I suspect the flu instead, as there is fever, aches in the muscles, lack of appetite, mucus and a… Continue reading The flu
January resolutions
Happy New Year, people! I never keep the resolutions I intend for a whole year, so I thought I would try to have some resolutions each month this year, instead, and then hope at least some of them will become new habits. Or you know, a way to get it done. In January, I will… Read more paper-books… Continue reading January resolutions
Nobel prize week
I’m oddly emotional about the fact that two Norwegians have a share each in the prize for medicine. Never heard of them, but I had to choke back a tear nevertheless. Norwegians winning stuff will do that to me. Apparently in most areas where something can be won.
Summer
A selection of photos from the åast couple of weeks. I moved home from Oslo, and went straight to work. My holiday time is in the end of August… But I still have managed to enjoy the summertime.
