Actually, there were two.
I woke up at 6, wrote morning pages (into two different notebooks because one was full; the new one hadn’t arrived yet but I have a smaller one for traveling) and then made a valiant attempt at writing. Lots of thinking about backstory and some research on sofas. Turns out when you write a vampire who is really old (well, several) they also have a lot of backstory. I don’t really want to do too much research so right now I’ll just let it sit and percolate.
I did yoga, I think, talked with my husband briefly after breakfast and then sat there paralyzed because I had too many things I wanted to do.
In the end I went with biking to the hardware store to make another attempt at getting a new living room lamp. It took me ages to decide but finally I brought one back. It barely fit my bike’s rack.
When I opened the box it turned out the form of the fixture would make it extremely hard and unpleasant to mount so I just looked at it briefly and decided to not try. I’ll return that one later today. When I told my husband the story he reminded me that he really likes the current lamp and that maybe a floor lamp might be the answer I’m looking for. We’d have the really bright white overhead light and (hopefully) a warmer, adjustable light. So I ordered a floor lamp with a reading light. I’ll put it in the spot where my current reading light sits. I barely ever use it. Stay tuned.
Because my husband was out for lunch with a friend the boy and I ate frozen pizza. I mean, we didn’t eat it frozen:
I had asked the boy to get us some gummy bears, licorice and yogurt on his way home, so dessert was blue and pink gummy bears. Very fitting to eat mermaid candy while reading about shifters, specifically a merman and an otter shifter.
I am re-reading Gail Carriger’s San Andreas shifters series in preparation for the next book.
My web hosting company replied to my support ticket and told me how to install an SSL certificate. I tried twice but it didn’t work. Ack. I guess I need to try the support chat at one point. It’s offline at the moment, though. Maybe email, no idea.
I felt like I hadn’t done anything all day (always funny that one), taught my two students, changed the sheets on my bed, did bodyweight training with the boy, ate dinner in front of TV (half a bag of potato chips and half a bag of licorice with an alcohol-free beer) watched two episodes of C-drama while knitting, nodded off in front of TV, brushed my teeth, did my foot exercises and fell into bed.
Sleeping for 8 1/2 hours is awesome, by the way. And now I’ll be off to do all.the.things!!
