I didn’t get enough sleep yet again. I should just shut up about it.
I had a hard time getting moving again but eventually I managed to go for a walk/run. A very hot and sweaty one. Since it’s so hot I really should go outside earlier:
Then I was back late to make lunch. It’s astonishing, how bad one can get at cooking over time. I used to be pretty competent but then my husband took over making lunch every day and now I’m barely able to cook rice and open a tin:
I took a small break, did not do the dishes (which became a problem later) and at 3 the boy and I did bodyweight training. It was still very hot.
My husband had planned to get home by 4 but arrived a little early. I was really happy he was back but all we got was a quick hello before he was dealing with his luggage and making a round through the garden.
So t I tried one of the red currant cupcakes I made the night before:
Husband and I talked a lot, very nice conversation about his trip and we opened a bottle of wine. The boy came downstairs there was some more talk. The boy and I made our separate dinners. I had offered my husband a choice of leftover lunch or leftover kohlrabi casserole but he wanted to make himself spaghetti with tomatoes and shrimp.
At that point the kitchen looked like a bomb had gone off in the middle of it because I hadn’t done the dishes all day. There just wasn’t any space to cook and I hadn’t realized. So my husband grabbed what he needed including pots and pans, found that there was no frozen shrimp in the freezer and left in a huff.
I had yet another Zoom call and since it seemed he didn’t want to spend time together I went and watched that.
Afterwards there were words with my husband which was not a lot of fun, after a few false starts we ended up doing the dishes together wile rehashing what went wrong.
The boy came downstairs to take a shower just when I was about to do the dishes, and then I had to wait until he had finished before he could start. The poor thing didn’t really have hot water anymore.
Meanwhile I knitted some more, did Duolingo and watched half an episode of ‚Word of Honor‘ on my laptop because I couldn’t make myself move to the living room and then I went to bed just a little too late.
And now Friday.
