Another very tired day, going out for lunch and a nice evening

So after only 5 1/2 hours of sleep I got up, decided to do yoga first because I was late again, managed that and meditation and had breakfast.

Since I’m writing this the day after I don’t really remember what I did in the morning, though, wait – I did look up lists for selfpublishing. I have an astounding amount of resources (shocking, I know), found this one list I thought was perfect until I actually looked at it, looked at a course I have about publishing (nah, not it) and did some thinking in circles. I did the dishes and thought about a new computer for my husband (I want him to use my old laptop and an external monitor but he is very reluctant), did some other stuff (including blogging) and barely managed to be ready in time to go out with my husband for lunch. We went to the Greek restaurant he used to visit every week with a friend. It’s a very short walk from our house. I did the usual “all meat because it’s Greek food“-thing:

Not pictured is the ouzo we started out with. And then we even got dessert:

It was very yummy. Afterwards we went to the supermarket right across the street because it turned out we didn’t have enough cheese, licorice, disposable gloves, cucumber and cheap salt.

Over lunch I tried talking with my husband about the knot of problems that is publishing the book but that didn’t go all that well. He mostly just senses my tension and dread and doesn’t have the headspace for details so it stresses him out.

After that I was very set on getting stuff done but I took a social media/silly games break first. I barely managed to hang the load of laundry up that my husband had started earlier. Over lunch we had also talked about his need for a new computer. I’m not sure but the one he is currently using might be 14 years old at this point. It is still working but that’s all you can say for it. He really dislikes the thought if a laptop even with it set up permanently. I have been budgeting for a new computer anyway, so we decided to just pull the trigger.

So in the afternoon I looked at all the iMac models, chose one, got his okay and ordered it. I guess I’ll spend two to three days next week setting that up.

After that there wasn’t much time left before my monthly group coaching call. I ate a quick dinner before, made myself some tea and had to rush to be two minutes late. Coaching was very nice. And helpful.

The boy and I had agreed to watch something that evening but he had forgotten. When I came back to the kitchen half an hour later than I had thought I would he was just making himself dinner. We ended up watching an episode of „The Dead Boy Detectives“. I really liked that one (episode 4). It always feels a bit weird to just watch an episode here and there. I would like it better if we went back to watching three or four episodes per week but then I am very happy that my grown son still wants to do things with his mother.

Speaking of which I now know more about painting Warhammer figurines than I ever would have wanted to know. I also got another explanation of Eigenvalue but have to confess that I’m the one whose eyes glaze over when someone pulls out algebra, vectors and matrices.

I was sensible for once and did not have another beer in the evening or watch an episode of C-drama but instead turned the lights out at 10.30.

Which means I’m writing this on Saturday morning which means I’m again woefully behind on the day. But whatever. I got enough sleep, that’s the most important thing. Onwards!
