Which also means I don’t have a lot of time to write this post.
I didn’t get enough sleep yet again and decided to skip the morning routine in favour of reading. I only realized later that I was very anxious about our lunch date with relatives. My next learning task is to figure out how not to skip the things that ground me on days where I feel completely unmoored.
Husband and I had tense words over breakfast because, well, we were both a little anxious. (He says I was the only one anxious and tense, I’m not as sure.)
Still, we set out on time and walked to the Greek restaurant. It’s nice and has the added benefit of being close to the cemetery.
We met my mother-in-law on the way who had taken the bus and joined my husband’s aunt (wife of his father’s brother) and a couple that are friends with the aunts and had driven her.
We ate lunch. A lot of lunch:
I know this doesn’t look like much but we also had a huge platter of starters, some pita bread and a salad before this.
Afterwards there was just enough time to visit the uncle’s grave with some flowers to light a candle and then my husband and I walked back home again. We arrived just in time to get ready for teaching.
While we were away a package arrived that contained my new and shiny ukulele stand. Or is it hook? I can clip it to my music stand and don’t have to be afraid of pushing the ukulele off a chair accidentally:
This is very exciting!
Then there was quite a bit of teaching with an unexpected break in the middle and afterwards the boy and I met for bodyweight training. My hands are making pushups very unpleasant at the moment, I need to figure out what to do about it (not do pushups is probably the answer) but the rest went alright.
Then there was dinner, finally, and then I sat there, rather unwilling to get moving again. But in the end I did manage to coax myself under the shower and take care of all the dishes we’d need to make breakfast this morning.
I went to bed an hour late, unfortunately, and feel like I need a day to recuperate.
