All the errands!

And the day proved that energy doesn’t always move like you expect.

I went to bed half an hour late which I count as a major achievement because I was teaching late, had to do the dishes a third time that day and the boy was not only talkative around my bedtime but also took a shower that prevented me from brushing my teeth when I had planned to do it.

But. Only half an hour late! Yeah!

I woke up before the alarm again. Maybe I need blackout curtains after all. I did feel good though, despite still being fatigued and fuzzy-brained.

I wrote morning pages, did yoga and meditated but forgot to take my blood pressure. It’s always something. My husband and I managed to make our breakfasts at the same time without irritating each other. We talked and I knitted a quick two rows.

And then I got a call on my cell and it was my doctor telling me that my rheumatoid factors were all negative. Which is good. No one wants an autoimmune diseases.

And then it was on. I did the breakfast dishes, put everything together that I’d need for all the errands, took a shower, did Duolingo, brushed my teeth and cut my toenails. Rode my bike to see the guy who makes orthotics without wearing my helmet because my hair was all wet and I didn’t want to have to deal with that things in addition to a backpack and two panniers.

Orthotics guy was super nice as always and is one of the very few people I see wearing a mask. We talked about my orthotics and feet and strength training and he confirmed that my feet are looking better and way less saggy than the last time.

After I bought some yogurt, biked by the town hall, a cemetery and a school to the „mall“, printed photos at one store, returned the four tops I had ordered (none of them fit) and did a huge grocery run.

Came back in time for lunch. My husband had gone and done his own errands in the meantime, one of them to the Asian grocery store:

There was still a bit of time before teaching which was really good because I needed a bit of rest before tackling all the teaching.

I was very grateful that the boy did the dishes in the afternoon.

After teaching I talked briefly with the rest of the family, played silly iPad games, started writing this post, wrote in my bullet journal, did Duolingo, foot exercises and knitted in front of another „Handsome Siblings“ episode. I am currently starting the saggy middle and am contemplating switching to something else. Maybe.

Today will probably be much easier which is a very good thing. Phew.
