Not quite sure where the day went

I have reached that part of a school break where I’m not quite sure which day of the week it is.

I did get 8 1/2 hours of sleep, so that was wonderful and I did my full morning routine, yeah! I have added listening to one piece of classical music per day as well, I’m following „The Year of Wonder“ book by Clemency Burton-Hill. (By the way, the book is currently only 2,89 €.) I tried using a YouTube playlist for the listening but the quality of the first piece was so bad that I went back to Spotify even though I will have to sit through the commercials. Since we’re using YouTube so much for everything including teaching I splurged for the Premium, so no commercials.

The day did not continue quite as well when I forgot to take my thyroid meds first thing so my breakfast was delayed for half an hour. My husband got up and built the fire while I ate and then I spent some more quality time weaving in ends on the crochet blanket. I will have to decide what to do, the next CAL will start on Friday but I haven’t finished the blanket-in-progress yet. I’m two thirds done with the squares and then there is still the border left. So I either can finish the current blanket first before starting another one or I could set it aside and switch projects. Not sure what would be the best option here.

Somehow everything took ages so I only started doing the breakfast dishes around noon, then went to the health food store and back. Lunch was pork cutlets, potatoes and Brussel’s sprouts:

I took a break, then did the dishes, folded the laundry and hung up some more. I was a bit upset because I had been waiting for my second warm pair of pajamas to be clean again but after two loads of laundry since it became splattered when I tried unclogging the washbasin drain it still wasn’t there. It turned out that pajama was the lone one thing that had not fit in the washing machine. My husband didn’t even realize what it was. Also, he owns at least half a dozen pairs of pajamas where I have three that I can wear in the cooler months. Well, nothing I can do.

Then I taught my two students of the day, started watching a video thing from Becca Syme immediately after, realized that I couldn’t focus at all and ate dinner instead. Then I tried some new foot exercises. I am really hopeful about these, I tried the first easy start the day before and felt like my feet weren’t hurting as much right away. Might be the placebo effect, of course, but that would be awesome. Since it’s exercises to strengthen the muscles in the foot I guess it can’t hurt. I mean, it does, a little, but in a good way. More like sore muscles instead of searing and stabbing pain with every step.

Then I did some more Duolingo, wrote my Chinese sentence of the day, watched some C-drama and went to bed. No novel revision all day, somehow there wasn’t really time. Today will be busy again but I’m hoping I’ll get to open the manuscript at least.
