So tired! I went to bed very, very late again. I wrote morning pages but skipped the rest of the morning „routine“. There is a point where all that lack of sleep does something to my energy. (I keep telling myself that point only comes after serious sleep deprivation when in fact it comes way earlier.)
I had to keep an eye on the clock because I had a doctor’s appointment for my skin cancer screening. Insurance pays for it every other year so that’s how often I do that. This time I hadn’t been able to get an appointment with my usual dermatologist again so I guess I now have a new usual dermatologist.
This one is a bit too far away for walking. I looked up how to get there by train but the walk to the station plus the train ride would have taken 30 minutes when Google told me taking my bike would only take 11 minutes. Since this is not my first rodeo I gave myself 20 minutes before my appointment to get there, and an additional 5 minutes for leaving the house late and inflating the tires at the last minute.
The actual bike ride took a bit under 15 minutes.
I had been a bit afraid it would be icy and slippery but it wasn’t too made. There were parts of the trip where it was pretty icy but I managed to navigate those without any problems. This is a picture I took on my way back on top of a bridge over the highway:
I was back home pretty early, oh, and my skin was fine and I could also ask some questions about other things, like what to do about the eczema on my eyelids. (The answer – as always – is to use a special lotion. Yet another one.
I didn’t stay long at home before venturing outside again, this time to the health food store.
My husband was still cleaning frantically, all the while through cooking lunch:
Somehow lunch was a bit uninspired…
We talked, the boy came downstairs after we had finished, we talked briefly and then it was time to teach.
I had a break in the middle because of a cancellation, I got two emails from my webhosting provider that resulted not only in my author website finally getting switched to a plan that allows for an SSL certificate, they also installed the certificate for me and apologized. So that saga should be finished now.
After teaching I talked briefly with the rest of the family, sat down to play silly games and read a bit, then start writing this post. My husband had done all the dishes that day in addition to all the cleaning and a load of laundry and was somewhat exhausted by the end of the day as well.
I did Duolingo and my foot exercises, wrote a list for today, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
Today should be a little easier with some added strength training.
