And then there was snow

I woke up at 5.15 and only dozed lightly until the alarm. It seemed much lighter outside than expected and when I peered through the curtains there was snow. I forced myself to write morning pages and to write new words on the novel-in-progress. Slowly things are starting to happen. I hope. I also was afraid I gave a character the same name as the head of the witches coven in another one but it turns out one is Leah and one is Layla so I guess it’s alright.

The plan had been to go to the hardware store for a new living room lamp but looking at the snow I really didn’t feel it. A short conversation with my husband and thinking about it made me realize that I can easily live without a new lamp for a day or two and so I ordered a new fixture on the internet before breakfast.

I did my morning yoga in the annex because there were still splinters in the living room. I had a bad case of the dunnwannas but I persevered and even added three minutes of meditation and took my blood pressure.

Breakfast was delicious. I have been adding a piece of apple to my morning muesli, very yummy.

After that I was rather slow and sluggish. I decided to skip my walk in favor of knitting. I did the breakfast dishes and talked to friends online while my husband was out running. I started yet another knitting project, a pair of potholders. I started off with a mistake right away, I forgot to add two stitches for the selvedge to the pattern. So I guess the potholders will be just a tad narrower. There is no way I will rip back, not even two or three rows:

Then took a shower while he was cooking lunch:

Then I watched the video on how to start the next part of the shawl-in-progress and then it was all teaching all afternoon. I used a ten minutes delay of one student to print out new grocery lists. After teaching was finished I ate dinner first and then did bodyweight training with the boy. I should have done it the other way around but hey, I did it.

Then I started writing this post, talked with both the boy and my husband a bit, did the dishes with the boy’s help, did Duolingo, watched some C-drama while re-knitting the cuff for the mittens, did my foot exercises, wrote in my bullet journal and went to bed.

Today will be a bit lighter but with some added grocery shopping. And the new lamp should arrive. Fingers crossed.
