Yes, there’s theme here. I don’t think it will change soon.
At least I had gone to bed at a reasonable time. Because I didn’t do the dishes. Which I then had to do in the morning, of course.
I woke up from the alarm, felt fuzzy and slow but did manage morning pages and five minutes of yoga. It was a session that focused on arm strength and at the moment my arms are wet noodles so I hoped out.
Then the boy showed up, he had overslept and I had forgotten to check on him. He rushed out the house without breakfast, expected to be 15 minutes late but the magic of the starting time being ‚cum tempore‘ made him exactly on time. He also found that if you sit in third row not only can you understand the lecturer, you can also almost read the stuff he writes on the whiteboard!
Meanwhile I ate breakfast with my husband, crocheted a bit, confirmed my fuzziness by having to start the current round on the crochet cushion three times in a row, every time making a really dumb, big mistake.
The weather was awful, almost freezing and raining down hard so I was very happy to stay indoors. Did the dishes, folded three loads of laundry and then waited for lunch to happen. Husband said lunch being late was my fault because he had to wait for me for twenty minutes. I’m not quite sure how that translates into lunch being almost an hour late but okay.
He did cook on the wood stove and did not start the fire first thing so when he did start cooking the dried beans around 11 he first had to get the stove going and then the water for cooking.
By the time lunch was ready the boy was already back from uni. Lunch was very good:
After lunch I had twenty more minutes before teaching. I taught all afternoon, still fuzzy and slow and tired.
After work I talked with my husband and the boy, then did a halfhearted round of Duolingo while still talking with the boy (I had started a 15-minute XP boost and didn’t want to lose it), then did the dishes, watched something, did not drink a beer but instead a nice cup of tea while watching C-drama and went to bed.
Today brings another doctor’s appointment and lots of teaching again.
As you can see my enthusiasm for the „do something new and different every day“-challenge is already waning but I think that’s mostly because I’m pressed for time at the moment. I do count my public transport adventure as something new and different, though. I’ve also debated going back to the „Superbetter“-concept, I am rereading the book at the moment at least and I re-installed the app but don’t want to try a 14 day trial just now.
