I love Monday, new start, energy!
As I said, I went to bed too late yet again despite having to get up at six. Which I did, then wandered off reading but I also managed the whole morning routine. First time meditating in over a week.
There was a somewhat tense breakfast because of the misunderstanding the day before but we talked, so that was good, and I managed to set up the next brioche part of the MKAL.
I was slow (again) but did finally plan the week and the day and then wrote my daily blog post. After that my husband and I had yet another conversation. At least some things got cleared up but also I’d rather not need these kinds of conversations as often. But it is what it is.
I did the dishes and listened to the day’s „Year of Wonder“-piece. That I didn’t particularly like. I’m suspecting it was more about not liking the singer than anything else. I found myself nitpicking her technique, sound and intonation, always a bad sign.
Then I went out for a walk, sigh. I really need to get out and moving more often, it does me a world of good.
While I was out, my husband was cooking lunch:
There was more talking up to the point where we continued while doing the dishes together. Again, I fell much better when I can move and do things, not just talk.
I had a short break where I read and played some silly games and ate chocolate, and then the boy came back home, all upset about some uni stuff. I peppered him with suggestions what he might do about it which had him leave in a huff. (It later turned out that all his panic was probably for nothing. This will be a long semester, he is already in a panic. Understandably so.)
And then I took a very hurried shower before my first student.
Had a short break, remembered that I need a birthday present for my mother, didn’t really have a good idea and ordered flowers and a cake to be delivered. I hope that works out. Then I tried making sense of my web hosting plans and contracts. At least I have the bills all printed out and am closer to figuring out how much I pay and for what.
Then there was more teaching until seven, I started writing this post, ate dinner, watched some TV while knitting, did Duolingo and the opened the manuscript for a bit. I am now more than 10,000 words behind, not quite enough to throw the towel but I might have to adjust my plans.
Some time in the afternoon the new pair of jeans that I had ordered arrived. Unfortunately, it was both too tight and too long. No problem, I thought, I’ll just return this pair and order a bigger one. Alas, that was already the biggest size. Sad.
Today will be loads of teaching again, the health food store and more of the usual.
