I went to bed on time and slept well. Wow.
Then I did my complete morning routine including yoga and everything. I ate breakfast alone because my husband is trying to give me more space, and also, turns out when he does more than half the housework and teaches more he also needs more time alone than before. Funny that.
I did my usual online rounds, talked with my husband a bit and then with my mother on the phone. The boy had asked me to wake him up at noon, which I did, I finished the dishes my husband had started while listening to a marvelous and haunting choral piece by some Scandinavian composer whose name I have forgotten, then I bought a new WordPress theme and downloaded it, returned in time for lunch but it wasn’t ready yet.
So I folded 1 1/2 loads of laundry. Since my husband had asked me to choose between spinach, potatoes and fried eggs or spaghetti carbonara with guanciale, we had – of course – spinach:
The boy showed up earlier than usual, we had just started eating. He was very excited about finally understanding something in theoretical physics. We talked a bit and then I took a break. I have to say when I don’t play those silly games and also don’t spend as much time on social media I do have more time for other things. Who would have thought. I played „The Stillness of the Wind“ again for half an hour or so and then helped my husband move the futon in the garage. We had put it on top of the rain barrels and when my husband took one of the barrels out the futon fell in a way that blocked access to the bikes. Since he is having trouble with one of his fingers right now he did not want to attempt heaving the whole thing back up so I went out with him and helped.
After that I had planned to plan the week and spend some manuscript time.
Well, I did plan the week. I also texted with friends and then started trying to fix that weird problem with our cable yet again. After my husband got his new TV some of the channels he used to be able to watch stopped working. And those were the ones that we pay extra for. But. Somehow yesterday I found a thing on the website under „your devices“ (I didn’t know we had any devices from the cable company) where you could activate your smart card. And bam! Everything is working again.
Just when I was about to go and eat dinner the boy showed up again and I helped him with something again.
My husband was washing dishes when I came back into the kitchen, he had a friend show up in the afternoon who wanted computer help, and therefore didn’t finish the dishes and hanging up the laundry. So I dried dishes while he washed the rest, then ate dinner and then procrastinated some before starting to write this post.
Somewhere in between I also packed my bag for today’s doctor’s visit with all the paperwork I’m supposed to bring. I did Duolingo, took a shower, made a list for today, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
New week, new luck!
