I actually went to bed on time, slept well and woke up in a bad mood because I had wanted to write but didn’t. This will become a theme, I guess.
I picked up my phone first thing and therefore did not do any morning routine stuff. I just lounged in bed until it was time for breakfast. And then I found that I had forgotten to thaw the blueberries for my muesli. So I had breakfast a little later.
I talked with my husband and finished the second blanket square, then the boy came downstairs and I talked some more with him, eventually I did the breakfast dishes and then went off to write but couldn’t. I haven’t written new words in so long, I need to remember how to do it first.
Then I helped my husband with the salad a bit. He had decided to make a two course menu and to clean out the garden for it so there were spaghetti aglio e olio, fried mini eggplant and salad for the first course:
Then he went and cooked the second course, tuna filets with potatoes, cherry tomatoes, olives and capers:
Mind you, apart from the potatoes this could be a plate of „things Susanne doesn’t particularly care to eat“. My husband was delighted, though.
By then it was almost 3 o’clock already. I took a break, read and ate chocolate and drank chamomile tea, played silly iPad games and talked with everybody who happened to wander into the kitchen until I finally did the lunch dishes at 5. Then I folded some laundry and then it was almost time for dinner.
I sat down, finally prepared my bullet journal for the new month and set some goals. I also updated my reading list and my book-buying list. Meanwhile my husband was wandering in and out of the apartment because he was cooking chili sauce in the annex and kept remembering things he needed to get from the kitchen. Among them the small frying pan. That I had thought of using to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.
But. The boy had the same idea and was nice enough to makes sandwiches for both of us in one of the bigger frying pans. We ate together while reading and the sandwiches were great.
ThenI started writing this post, put a beer in the fridge for later, finally started the new shawl for the Westknits KAL that started that morning, watched an episode of C-drama, brushed my teeth, took my computer to bed and finally wrote a few words. Phew.
Today will be a rather light teaching day and there will be all the cleaning, of course.
