Lol. But, for now, aren't they pretty? #Fibromyalgia #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #Anxiety #Arthritis #Grief #DistractMe

Distract Me 2d

First day of summer in Iceland. #DistractMe #Fibromyalgia #ChronicFatigue

Today is the first day of summer in Iceland, that is according to the old calender. In the old days people only thought of two seasons, winter and summer. Today begins the month of Harpa according to old times. We Icelanders find this old custum quite ironic because very often the weather on this day is Rain, snow, much wind or all three in a mix. 😒😒😒 In modern times we think of the year in four seasons and the names of the months are the same as in other countries ( janúar/january, febrúar/February etc.). 🤔🙂💐🍰🫖
