This time I did better with my new rules. So far I haven’t adhered to them completely even once, but, that’s not really necessary. There is a reason for the rules. As long as I do the thing the rules are supposed to help me with I don’t really care about the letter of the law.
I did my complete morning routine, working on the manuscript is going pretty well. Exciting things are happening. I hope.
My husband has reached that stage of exhaustion where self-doubt and general anxiety raise their head which is never fun. And then I got angry at him for reaching that point which also doesn’t help but we got things sorted within a reasonable time frame.
Then it was time to call my mother on the phone who told me what she did last week but also every single story she had already told me the week before. She isn’t usually that confused but she spent the day before with former colleagues so was probably exhausted as well.
My husband and I had plans to make pizza from scratch following a YouTube video but decided to postpone. The new and improved plan included eating all the leftovers in the fridge which is a very good and sensible plan. Then we looked through the leftovers, decided to discard the soggy penne with tomato sauce and the lentils that were both under- and overcooked (not in the same lentil I’d guess) and were left with just enough potatoes to make fried potatoes for two and a lone wiener.
My husband then decided to divide the potatoes by three and leave some for the boy which led to our lunch being a bit sparse:
I was still pretty hungry after and made up for lack of calories with very delicious mango ice cream. Not the most nutritious, though.
I took a break and spent so much time playing a silly iPad game that I then deleted it. (I later re-installed, we’ll see how that turns out in the long run.) Which meant I did not work on the website even though it was on my list for the day. I did the dishes and then went to my studio just in time for another Zoom call.
After that I was very hungry again and made myself dinner from the last three very dry and small pieces of sourdough bread. The thing I’m doing these days is I throw that stale bread in the toaster and it comes out delicious and crunchy, the butter and brie melting on it, yum!
Then I planned the week, wasted some more time on silly games and avoided doing the rest of the things on my list, talked briefly with the boy who made himself fried potatoes while I started writing this post, did Duolingo, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
And today Easter break starts for real
