The actual Sunday

And the last day of carnival break.

I went to bed on time, woke up from the alarm and lounged in bed until the boy showed up. We talked briefly, then I did my complete morning routine and was about five minutes too late for breakfast. So my husband and I had to make breakfast around each other.

We talked, I crocheted, I went online for a bit and then I finally took that much-needed shower. Talked with my mother on the phone for almost an hour, did the breakfast dishes, sat around a bit useless while my husband made lunch. First there was pancake soup:

And there was a kind of pasta salad that was inspired by leftover green beans:

After that I sat and read and played silly iPad games and talked with the boy some more. We finally talked about our trip to my mother and decided to reschedule to August or September because the boy has no idea when he will be free yet. So I booked a train ticket for just myself for the week before Easter. That ticket was surprisingly cheap. Weird.

I gave in to temptation and ate half of a small store-bought pound cake. My husband thinks we should have more snacks at home for guests. And now I remember why I stopped buying crackers and cookies and cake and such. I’ll have to move such things to the basement in the future.

Then I planned the week, talked with people online, finished reading a book and started two more, talked briefly with my husband, made plans how to get to the funeral on Wednesday and asked my husband to tell his mother we were okay with her plan and to ask whether we should bring flowers or anything. Somewhere in between I folded a load of laundry and did some more proofreading.

I ate dinner, read some more, confirmed the date our new windows will be installed, participated in an online study on poetry and musicality, started writing this post, finally did the dishes, watched some C-drama and went to bed.

I did not do my mobility exercises and I did not tape my feet. I’d say it’s no big deal but I don’t really see when I’ll have the time for it this week. Well, I guess we’ll see.
