I woke up from the alarm and managed the complete morning routine. Phew. I did spend half an hour on the manuscript but that was mostly research again. Still, there was a little progress. Not that research isn’t progress.
And I always feel better when I do yoga and meditate. For three minutes. More would be better but then there are a lot of things I could do more of in my life.
There was breakfast and I talked with my husband and wrote a list and then I called my mother. But there was no answer. So I tried again. And again half an hour later. At that point I actually started to worry. She knows I always call her on Sundays at 11 (or a bit later) surely she would have said something if she wasn’t home?
Um, actually no. After the third time I called her cell and she answered with, „I’m sitting in the car with my cousin, we’re just on our way back from visiting your aunt.“ Great. I mean, it is surely very nice of them to drive all the way to visit my aunt. Who just had surgery for a broken vertebra and a slipped disc and is now recovering.
It would have been nice if she told me. I mean, I’m not the one of us who is prone to falling down and breaking bones who is living alone.
Anyway, that also meant I could start earlier on making lunch. It was still very late. We had trouble keeping the water for the spaetzle boiling on the wood stove. I was the main cook for once but my husband helped a lot:
I took a break after that, then played some more silly games on my iPad, finished knitting a pair of fingerless mittens for my husband that had been languishing since forever, vacuumed the old part of the house and cleaned the washbasin and toilet in my bathroom, talked very briefly with the boy and my husband, unclogged said washbasin, cleaned it again, did bodyweight training with the boy, started reading the Phryne Fisher short story book I had ordered from the US in paperback (husband was very confused seeing me with an actual dead tree book), ate dinner, helped my husband do the dishes, sat around for too long, started writing this post, did my foot exercises, made a list for today, made myself a cup of tea, spun for ten minutes while watching C-drama and went to bed.
And now into the fray again!
