I slept well and woke up before the alarm and actually managed to write morning pages. Then I skipped the rest of the morning routine again. I did feel better but still not well.
Ate breakfast reasonably fast and left in time to catch my 9.30 train to Munich. The doctor’s office was crowded again but well-organized any everyone was nice and professional. I met the same doctor as when I had my thyroid scintigraphy and then he took tissue samples from the two big nodules in my thyroid. Which was unpleasant and somewhat disconcerting but didn’t take long. Better than surgery for sure. I had to sit and press my fingers against the very small wounds so that it wouldn’t bleed for ten minutes. And now you can’t even tell that I was pricked.
I’ll get the results at the beginning of next week. If the results are worrying I’ll get a phone call, if not I guess I’ll find out through their online portal.
I came back home around noon and was very proud for not buying any sweets on the way.
Meanwhile my husband had caught the same nasty cold as I and had to deal with the chimney sweep on top. So he did not do the dishes as planned:
And yes, that is a glass tea pot on top of a leaning tower of dishes. Ugh. Twenty minutes later that was all washed up and put away, by the way. I have a system, I’m pretty fast.
Lunch was rather early:
I briefly toyed with the idea of taking a shower or doing the lunch dishes before teaching but was just too exhausted.
Three of my seven students canceled, so I had a lot of breaks. I did make myself a neat schedule to get all the things done in between teaching but ended up deviating from it right away. I talked with the boy and with my husband (who only taught one student) and got the two returns ready and sent off. The whole shoe saga also ended yesterday because I had decided to order a second pair of the sneakers I use outdoors so I can use them as indoor shoes. Problem solved.
I ate dinner, talked with a friend via Instagram DM, talked with the rest of the family again, started writing this post, did the dishes, took a shower, did Duolingo, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
Today I’ll go to another doctor’s visit where I’ll get hurt on purpose. Not badly, just a bit, because I need to be at the orthopedist at 9 for shockwave therapy again.
