Irma leaves for Helsinki in just over an hour. The first suitcase stands ready at the bottom of the stairs. It contains only one thing: a smaller suitcase. Both need to go back to Helsinki for future use.

Two other suitcases will appear soon, filled with actual luggage. Only one of them will weigh much at all.

I will remain another three weeks before leaving on June 8th, unless (like Irma) my flight changes for reasons the airline never explains.

Sanu will arrive at 1:00 and Irma will leave. I will wander around the house on my own, wondering what I should do next. I will opt for going to bed.

Opting for falling asleep will prove somewhat harder.
