Also, my doctor has a weird sense of humor.
I woke up at six, all set on actually doing the full morning routine for once and – ran into the boy. We talked briefly, he was about to go to bed and had made huge progress building his new computer.
Then I went on to write morning pages, move the new story forward, do yoga for the first time in ages and actually also meditate for a bit. My husband came over to start the fire in the wood stove early, around 7.30 but was all quiet in the next room. Very cozy.
You see, the reason I was so good at not wasting too much time that morning was my doctor’s appointment at 9.45. I got out the door only a few minutes late and barely had to wait at the doctor’s office before telling him about my dizzy spells. Since I don’t know when exactly they started and the occur in all kinds of situations he was not hopeful we could find a specific cause or do anything about it. Nevertheless I got referrals to there more doctors, an ENT, a cardiologist and a neurologist. My doctor also told me it wasn’t likely to be something serious because if it was it would have showed earlier and I probably wouldn’t be alive anymore by now.
That got me in a weirdly good mood and made me rather hopeful.
I walked back home by way of the ENT office, the shop where I buy yogurt and the health food store for chocolate.
I met with my husband who had been busy starting another load of laundry and doing the dishes. I told him about the appointment, finished the tea I had to abandon earlier and started making more doctor’s appointments. After that my husband and I sat down to talk about my novel and what I need before publishing. We also had planned to walk through the house and talk about things that need doing but we ran out of time.
We walked over to the Greek restaurant where we shared an appetizer:
And then went on to eat our main course:
We went back home in time for an online meeting with an author friend. My husband also offered to pick up my new orthotics.
The meeting went well and was a lot of fun. We talked about many, many things and the 45 minutes were over way too soon.
I taught a student, had a break because the second student had canceled because they weren’t feeling well, then I wrote some texts and emails and corrected all the typos my husband found in the story I want to use as a reader magnet and then I taught two more students.
The last student of the day had canceled as well so I was off at a reasonable time. I started reading a new book while eating dinner, played silly iPad games for almost an hour, started writing this post and did Duolingo, then made myself a cup of tea, did my foot exercises and watched some C-drama.
For some reason not only are my legs sore as hell, which is weird because the only exercise I changed was the pulling one, but my right leg also hurts for unknown reasons.
Today will be grocery shopping and quite a bit of teaching, then the weekend.
