I went to bed half an hour late again and was mostly back to normal energy levels.
I did my morning routine but then went down a research rabbit hole right away. I still did yoga and meditated for a bit so I was okay with that.
My husband and I talked for some time, he is still very stressed and overwhelmed. Which stresses me as well and drops my energy. He also did have a morning student so after our conversation I opened the manuscript for the first time in days. And realized that I had switched POV without noticing. No wonder my subconscious had prevented me from writing on, I had to fix the mistake first. Which I did.
Then I did the dishes, listened to some wonderful music and then to something on YouTube while I did the weekly cleaning.
My husband met up with a friend for lunch so I made frozen pizza for the boy and myself:
I did not see the boy before teaching, though. I had an early start because of a rescheduled lesson. I think I might have found the reason that student’s motivation has dipped so much. Fingers crossed I found the right way to talk about it.
The next student was a no show but the rest of teaching went as planned.
Then I met with the boy for bodyweight training. Right in the middle the doorbell rang and a neighbor wanted to talk about lessons for his grandson. My husband dealt with that while the boy and I finished training and then it was finally time for dinner. I ate a little too much chocolate again but didn’t overeat quite as much. I’m counting that as progress.
I talked to my husband for a bit, read some webcomics and then started writing this post. I did Duolingo and my foot exercises, watched some C-drama and got ready for bed. The boy told me not only is Duolingo going full on AI, the artificial speech also doesn’t get the sounds right all the time. I already knew that it’s not the best language app ever but was always thinking that the app I use it better than one that I don’t. I’ll see. I did reset my Chinese progress that morning because the course had changed so much that I didn’t recognize a lot of the words and phrases. I am currently speed-running it from the beginning, skipping quite a few lessons.
I should probably focus on TrainChinese instead.
And now the weekend.
