I woke up from the alarm and didn’t really want to get going. Not only had I had a beer the night before I had also gone to bed too late. So I decided to skip the morning routine. Again.
I ate breakfast, talked with my husband and pondered what to do when the rest of the morning. I did finish the last border round on the crochet blanket. There still are a few ends to weave in but then I’ll be done.
I sent an email to my GP for the form I was missing, did the breakfast dishes, got the answer that the doctor’s office had faxed the form to the clinic and that I could pick the original up any time. So I walked to the ENT doctor’s office, asked about an appointment, got one at the exact same time I already had a shockwave appointment for my foot, walked across the street to pick the form up and then walked to the health food store. I am very proud, I only bought a reasonable amount of chocolate.
My husband made fish for lunch:
And yes, that is a glass of wine. My mother-in-law had given us a bottle of wine that she had received as a present. She drinks very little so didn’t want it to sit in the basement forever.
The wine comes from a place near where I grew up, near a town where my husband’s parents lived around the time I was born. This is in Northern Germany, not really wine country. We had the Solaris wine, very fruity and rather nice. There’s a website as well. You can toggle the language to English but I advise against it. Although it’s funny, there is a call for „reading assistants“. Which made me realize the whole thing must be powered by something like Google translate. What they are looking for are „Lesehelfer“, people who help picking the grapes. Grape harvest is called „Weinlese“ in German. Most of the time „Lesen“ is reading. And this is why computers can’t rule the world yet.
After lunch I talked with the boy a bit. I also wrote a couple of emails, mostly about not teaching the week after next and also to cancel the shockwave appointment. That doctor’s office also responded within minutes. I had tried calling them on the phone before but didn’t get through.
Then I taught all the students, telling each and every one about the week after next. And then sending their parents texts about it after.
Teaching was actually nice and not as draining as I thought it might be.
Then I ate dinner, did Duolingo, started writing this post and tried to stare down the dishes but in the end decided to just wash them. That took so long that watching the rest of „Shall we dance“ would have made me go to be too late again so I decided to skip the movie for once. I did a brief detour looking at potential yarn for the MKAL I joined (knitting from leftovers would have been great but I only have about half the yarn I’d need), spent some quality time with a cup of chamomile tea and „Dune“ and went to bed.
Today should be a little less busy. Let’s see how that goes.
Wenn du auch nur annähernd so reagierst wie ich, dann wirst du vermutlich in den nächsten zwei Wochen nicht gerade viel auf die Reihe bekommen – und das ist okay, finde ich. Schließlich ist so eine OP nichts, was du jede Woche hinter dich bringen musst.
Weinanbau im Teutoburger Wald?! Das hätte ich in meiner Kindheit noch für unmöglich erachtet … Aber wenn ich im April schon die Wohnung verdunkeln muss, damit es nicht unerträglich heiß wird, dann ist es wohl weiter im Norden auch warm genug für Weinanbau.
Ja, wahrscheinlich. Aber ich hoffe noch, dass ich mich bald wieder berappel.
