One of those days that feel like I did nothing again

And yet again I so did things.

I went to bed slightly too late, slept deep enough that I didn’t even get up once, woke up before the alarm (at 6.36 which is definitely too early), and picked up my phone and stated scrolling. Bad move.

I tried saving my morning routine and started writing morning pages (even though it was already a bit late) and then the boy showed up for his breakfast. The first time he interrupted me I went right on writing but the second time threw me off. It was nice to hear that he had a breakthrough in something quantum mechanic-related but still. I really should close the bedroom door when journaling.

So I skipped the rest of the morning routine, realized that I had forgotten my thyroid hormones, took those first, then made breakfast and was just about to pour my tea when my husband got up.

He decided to start the wood stove a little later in the day because it always takes ages until he can have breakfast otherwise.

We talked a little bit while I was knitting, then I cut his hair, I did my online morning rounds and the dishes. Got a message that my thyroid meds would be ready for pickup today, talked briefly with the boy, and went out in the pouring rain.

I went to one shop for conditioner, another one for yogurt (because the boy is eating breakfast again we need more yogurt, of course) and the health food store. My feet were totally wet after, I really shouldn’t wear those sneakers in the rain.

I came back, unpacked everything, answered half a dozen messages from students and friends and we had lunch:

After I set my timer for a 30-minute break and this time I actually got up when it dinged.

I did the lunch dishes and let them sit wet while hopping into the shower, then dried the dishes and then taught many students.

I had made the dumb mistake of double-booking myself. Fortunately one of the students wanted an online lesson (the whole family has covid) and was flexible enough to reschedule for later.

The boy and I had planned to do bodyweight training again but he canceled. Again. So I used a break between students for that, ate dinner, saw that I had an email from the cover designer and answered that one right away, then taught the last student of the day.

Then I sat down to start writing this post while the rain was hitting the skylight, ate some yogurt, did Duolingo, watched C-drama while knitting and went to bed.

Today will be another long day, we planned to go out for lunch and I have a pretty long teaching day ahead.
