I’m not quite sure why but I was super exhausted. And lo and behold I even went to bed somewhat early the night before. I did have to wait for the boy to finish his shower before I could brush my teeth and for my husband to finish playing electrical guitar in the basement right under my bedroom but I did turn the lights out early and slept well.
And then I felt like gravity had been turned up to the max. I had many plans what I wanted to do that day, clean, change the sheets, go for a run/walk, take a shower, give myself a pedicure, read, sort out my knitting (I had managed to bork a heel turn on the sock-in-progress and the thumb increases on the mitten-in-progress and had run out of easy projects to work on while talking to people or watching TV).
In the end everything took way longer than expected, my husband and I talked for a long time about his friends and what to do about their band project. We were out of some things he needed to cook lunch so I decided to walk to the nearby supermarket first, then go out running and that we’d have lunch a little late.
Well.
I walked to the supermarket feeling dizzy, heavy and exhausted all the way and decided that if I had to focus real hard to walk in a straight line it would maybe be a good idea to skip running that day.
I came back, put the groceries away and took a nice long shower. Meanwhile my husband made his version of paella for lunch:
And afterwards I sat around, played games, sorted my knitting out, read, skipped my Zoom meeting and ate all the snack food to calm myself down. Unfortunately, eating to quiet and calm myself actually works. The drawback being that eating a day’s worth of calories on top of my regular meals is not something I want to do very often.
My husband, the boy and I ate dinner in front of TV while watching a superb episode of ‚Columbo‘. It’s the one with Johnny Cash, called „Swan Song“. The boy and I also demolished some more snack foods which meant I went to bed not only half an hour late but also completely full.
Sleeping on a full stomach is not recommended.
Today my energy is a little better. I hope I’ll make good use of it.
