Hibernating in Stockholm

Winter does not look like it's going anywhere any time soon.

I am hibernating. Winter seems never ending and as much as I would like to be outside, the weather is just not conducive for it. After a little bit warmer and then colder temperatures on Saturday, the sidewalks are once again skating rinks. It pisses me off – especially after I gave myself whiplash after one particularly smooth contortion I had to do to keep from falling–  but I am trying to be Zen about the lack of snow shoveling in this town.

Being inside and eating dinner at home seems to be the default option for now. We were lucky this weekend because we were invited to dinner at friend’s places both Saturday and Sunday. And on both nights, we had comfort food. Saturday was a delicious homemade pasta puttanesca. And last night, we had homemade turkey meatloaf that was beyond good. And when I wasn’t with friends, I was in my pajamas. That’s the best way to hibernate after all.
