I was super tired yesterday because I went to bed too late. I still managed to do my complete morning routine, yeah!
I was very determined to write all the words in addition to cleaning all the things. So after breakfast I went and did the dishes right away, changed the sheets on my bed, and started the weekly cleaning. Breakfast took longer than usual because it was so cold my husband started the wood stove. And then we had to wait until the water for my chamomile tea boiled. Because that takes much longer on the wood stove than in the electric kettle.
I did interrupt cleaning to eat lunch. Since it was Friday and my husband was busy as well he gave me a choice of going out for Greek food or a mushroom omelette. Since going out to eat takes about two hours and comes with added ouzo and beer I asked him to make the omelette:
Just before lunch my new ukulele came but I was too busy to take a picture. It’s a violet Kala Dolphin for those interested. I bought it because I wanted to and justified it with having a spare to give potential new students to try out. I don’t want other people’s grubby fingers on my beloved concert or soprano ukulele.
After lunch I fell into a bit of a slump but I thought I had lots of time because the first one of my three students had canceled. A flurry of emails back and forth then led to canceling the cancellation in favor of an online lesson. Because he had covid but felt pretty well.
So instead of two hours of writing time I had that lesson. And also I needed to take a shower, doe the dishes and finish cleaning.
I took the shower before my first lesson and then used the break between students to – finish cleaning and just sit around some more, taught my two students of the day with another 30-minute break in between that was just too short to actually do anything (I mean, I could have done the dishes but by 6 pm I was somewhat tired) and then the boy and I met for bodyweight training.
After which I plunked down in front of TV with half a bag of potato chips, half a pint of ice cream and a beer. I also knitted a bit and talked to the boy in between doing other things. He is very busy doing Inktober and so I’m looking at drawings several times a day.
I have to say I love that he is drawing again and that he is so immersed.
After sitting around playing silly games on my iPad or staring blankly into space I decided to just get ready for bed, did an extremely short round of Duolingo and just two of my foot exercise and turned the lights out at 10.30.
So, of course, today I will write all the words. At this point I am roughly 5,000 words behind. Ahem.
