I woke up from the alarm after eight hours of sleep, yeah! And did my complete morning routine including yoga.
I had breakfast with my husband who was feeling awful and sick because of something he ate. I still wasn’t knitting because I have to make some knitting decisions first. The second clue of the Summer Mystery shawl came out and I think I will rip the first part back after all. (Who am I kidding, this was always the expected outcome.)
Despite feeling bad my husband still wanted me to cut his hair but I rescheduled for today because I had too much on my plate. I did a few dirty dishes while listening to my classical music piece of the day, did my usual online rounds and then went out to finally pick up my thyroid hormones from the pharmacy. Only, the pharmacist gave me the prescription I used to take, back when I still had a thyroid. Something had clearly gone wrong. When I told her she took the meds back and I set out to the doctor’s office. Good decision to go to the pharmacy I like and not the one nearest to our house because I was already halfway at the doctor’s. I also gave myself a pat on the back for switching to a doctor in walking distance instead of one two train stations away.
The staff at the doctor’s office was very apologetic. I had sent an email clearly stating the name, brand and dose of the hormones I need but they had apparently just thought, „thyroid medication“ and pulled the old one from my file. Which is understandable because I had never gotten the new meds from them, just from the clinic that first time. Still.
The put the new prescription on my card and made the doctor sign it off right away. The sign-off process usually gets done in the late afternoon but they made it specifically so I could go back to the pharmacy right away. Which I did. Phew.
My husband was pretty confused why picking up meds took that long.
After that I did some bodyweight training, bought yet another book and took a quick shower before lunch. Lunch was early again and since my husband wanted something that wouldn’t aggravate his fickle digestion we had potatoes, Brussel’s sprouts and bratwurst:
I did the dishes right after eating because I had so much time, then ate all the chocolate while playing silly iPad games and then I hung up the load of laundry my husband had started earlier.
Then I taught all the students. My husband only had one student that day (because of cancellations) while I had eight. With one cancellation as well.
The plan was to watch the rest of the course video in the evening and such but instead I just sat around for an hour, then talked with boy, then helped him get a package ready and held his hand while he was setting up his new phone and then I ordered a new phone case, display protection and charger. I am very proud that I could lay hands on that metal thingy you need to get the SIM card out on the first try. I’m not quite as proud to have forgotten to buy a new notebook for my morning pages.
Then I did Duolingo, started this post and went to bed at midnight. Bummer.
