I read a book. And ate chocolate

And that was basically it for the day.

I had gone to bed late, always a bad idea, and when I checked my email first thing in the morning (as one does) I saw that „Copper Script“ by KJ Charles had come out which I had on pre-order.

So I made the executive decision to start the day by reading instead of journaling and writing. I did do yoga, mostly because my husband said, I should while he was making breakfast but right after breakfast I was back to reading.

I did the dishes and Duolingo and then went out for a walk/run:

I came back and lunch was ready:

After lunch I remembered the extra big box of chocolate I had gotten from a student the day before and ate half of it. While playing a silly game on my iPad and then reading some more.

I had all kinds of plans for the day, write a newsletter, get a sewing pattern ready, press some fabric, write some new words, finish that short story cover and do laundry.

Well, my husband started a load of laundry, at least.

The student my husband was supposed to teach in the afternoon didn’t show up, I finally took a much-needed shower and did the dishes and then the whole family met to watch an episode of ‚Columbo‘ („An Exercise in Fatality“). The episode was fun in a way but very, very slow. And afterwards all three of us sat in the living room bowed over our shoes trying to figure out which way we tie our shoelaces. And it turns out that my husband actually ties his left-handed. (It’s never quite clear. Since he didn’t know he was left-handed for decades there are quite a few things he does right-handed.)

And then I finished all the chocolate and also read the book all the way to the end.

Great book and a wonderful day but it does leave me a bit meh, I guess only consuming all day was a bit much.

I guess I’ll have to make up for it today with some extra students.
