Went to bed on time, slept well, wrote morning pages and did yoga. The sun was shining, so my mood was very good. I ate breakfast, knitted a bit and did the usual morning things, then lost fifteen minutes somehow. Might have been in a book.
I did the dishes that had morphed from one dirty plate and one knife when I went to bed to a huge pile of dirty plates, two bowls and a frying pan in the morning.
I biked to the supermarket, printed out some lovely pictures of our new windows, returned the Q-Tips that were the wrong kind and bought all the things. Biked back home, fifteen minutes late for lunch but then lunch was an hour late all in all because the asparagus was not properly cooked. We had to cook it some more. And I had to unearth the recipe for sauce hollandaise. On the bright side the asparagus was not as overcooked as it usually is:
In the end I had 17 minute left until my first student when the boy informed me he would not be able to hang the laundry up.
I rushed downstairs to get the laundry out the machine and hang up as much as I could but in the end we did it together and managed to hang it all up just before I had to start teaching.
I had another potential new student who will start lessons in the fall. I need to sit down and figure out how many students I actually have in September because I think I might be at capacity.
Speaking of which, I also had managed to double-book myself. In my trusty digital calendar I had an empty slot where I usually teach a very nice singing student. So I told one of my guitar students to come in at that time for a makeup-lesson. While I was still teaching the student before that time slot I got a text from the singing student along the lines of „sorry, I’ll be late but I’m coming!“ Oops. So I texted her back, asking if she could com half an hour later explaining my problem but she couldn’t. And I couldn’t send the guitar student home on his own because he was supposed to be chauffeured around by his grandparents. So I didn’t get to teach the nice singing student and I did not earn that money either.
But then it’s all my fault.
After that I ate too much, then, just as I was about to do the dishes, my husband showed up, angry about something again and started making himself some eggs which led to me sitting there scrolling through social media for an hour. Until I started writing this post, did the dishes already, watched some C-drama and went to bed somewhat late again.
Today is cleaning day. With two lessons canceled. Which always means that I think I have lots of time to do other stuff but the other stuff I end up doing is – the cleaning I was hoping to get done in the morning. If I’m lucky.
