Daily Journal – Day 397: Much better

I woke up from the alarm, still not feeling like my usual self but throughout the day I started feeling much better. Phew.

I didn’t write in the morning at all but I did start sewing the buttons to my handspun Cria cardigan. I’m getting faster at this, I managed to attach more than half the buttons before my husband was done with his breakfast.

Then dishes and cleaning and taking a shower.

And then my husband and I went out for lunch to the Greek restaurant he likes. I had fish and he had lamb:

We can’t really go there together on Fridays with the boy because by the time the boy is finished with school it’s almost time for us to get back home for teaching.

I practiced. I taught quite a few students. I called a maybe new student (one who rang on the door because of our new sign). Then I started this post and got ready for a webinar about breaking bad habits.

I did manage to write a bit after that but not nearly enough to finish the novel until the end of the month. Which was a pretty ridiculous plan from the start and has become even more ridiculous with each passing day. I should just give up on doing NaNoWriMo this year. Not that I don’t want to write 50,000 words in November, only those 50,000 words should probably be part of the novel-in-progress.

Today there will be running and leftover soup for lunch because my husband is meeting a friend in Munich and then I’ll leave for the spinning meeting. Writing will have to be squeezed into odd corners of the day.

Busy weekend ahead.
