Daily Journal – Day 610: Rather full day again

I knew that in advance, I had seen my teaching schedule already.

I woke up at 5.30 from the alarm and only lay there unmoving for about twenty minutes or so before meditating and writing short morning pages. And then I spent 45 minutes writing on the novel and I seem to have succeeded in making a pretty boring scene more interesting. I still would have needed another 30 minutes to write enough to stay within schedule but by then it was time to make breakfast.

Breakfast was had by all and in between I read and then I knitted some more on the t-shirt. I am starting to run low on the second color, I might have to spin some more soon.

Then I went running and this time I actually enjoyed it, even. And was a little faster than usual as well. (For those of you who are interested, I ran 6.5 k with an average pace of 8:52 per kilometer. I told you I’m walking a lot.)

These are pictures of my halfway point:

My husband thought making lasagna would be a good idea so we spent the rest of the morning doing that:

It was rather good.

Then I hit the slump and barely managed to take a shower and put on makeup before I had to teach. No dishes.

The afternoon was one student after the other but that was okay. With my energy being a little better I was able to make the lessons a bit more fun as well.

I had planned to skip dinner but after work my stomach was growling so I did eat some bread and cheese. Then piles and piles of dirty dishes and bed.

Today there will be grocery shopping and a little light teaching. I might knit a swatch with the yarn I spun on Sunday. The yarn has too much twist and I’m pretty sure it’s too thick for what I want to make. We’ll see.
