Went to bed around midnight, slept like a log but my sleep app thinks I didn’t get any deep sleep whatsoever. I better stop with the beer from now on.
While I did fall asleep after the alarm again I woke early enough to cram my morning routine in. The whole routine including meditation and taking my blood pressure. Husband and I had a nice breakfast and then the doorbell rang and the gardener my husband had written an email to over the weekend stood on the threshold to discuss balcony and porch repairs. Both are going the way of wood outside. The wooden grates in front of my husband’s studio have started rotting through and that is just not safe.
I did the breakfast dishes, made sure the boy was up because he had wanted to go to uni but then he told me he’d stay in and study instead of spending 1 1/2 hours on trains to attend a 1 1/2 hour lecture. I did my bodyweight training and then went to my GP’s office.
Where they greeted me by name without me even saying anything. They also don’t ask if I’m sick when I’m showing up in my mask. I might have been there a lot lately. Today I had the blood draw for checking rheumatoid factors. The doctor said he’d call me on the phone on Thursday. He also told me to take the pain pills the other doctor gave me three times a day for up to two weeks. Whelp!
On the bright side that makes not drinking much easier.
On my way back I stopped by the health food store, came home and helped making salad and we had spaghetti for lunch. I can’t show it to you because I seem to have forgotten to take a picture.
My husband and I ended up fighting over lunch and I exploded with all the pent up anxiety, frustration and exhaustion of sleep deprivation and another battery of medical tests. Not fun.
I took a break, tried preparing for that evening’s coaching but didn’t get far, taught my students, used the break I had when a student didn’t show to fill out my mammogram form for today, ate dinner after my last student and went back to the studio for the coaching call after that.
Coaching was nice as always but I wasn’t really prepared. I did get to check in, at least and share the things that are going better since last month.
Then I started writing this post, did Duolingo, basked in the glory that is a clean kitchen where the boy did the dishes, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
Today will be another one of these non-stop go, go, go days, phew.
