On the bright side I went to bed on time and my alarm seems to be working again, so that’s good.
On the not so bright side the boy seems to have this new and shiny habit of getting himself something to eat around 5.30 in the morning which means he needs to pass my bedroom, I wake up every time and then have a hard time falling back asleep.
Oh, and my feet hurt again. But then I’m still sore all over, so maybe it’s just more of that.
I had a slow start and so I did not open the manuscript in the morning. I did the rest of my morning routine, had breakfast with my husband and he showed me the guitar he had been working on for the past few days.
And then I got ready to leave the house as early as possible because I wanted to do all the errands.
I took the train to the next small town over and got the prescription for my allergy meds renewed. Went to the nice health food store there but they didn’t really have what I wanted. I took the train back, went to the supermarket for yogurt, to the pharmacy and to another health food store.
On my way home it started raining but I was only a little damp.
Husband had just started making lunch and had also started a load of laundry. So I folded two loads and hung the new one up before eating a scrumptious lunch of pasta with zucchini from our garden:
Then I had about an hour before teaching that I spent eating chocolate and finishing the Jessica Pan book. I really liked it.
There was quite a bit of teaching, then a 30-minute break that I spent reading and eating something sweet, then more teaching.
Afterwards I sat down at my piano and took a look at the Chopin I want to learn. I think I started learning the beginning at one point in the past but after that things become hairy. That will take ages to learn but it will definitely be worth it.
Then there was dinner (and more reading) and then I had a hard time getting moving again. The boy showed up and told me about a new game he is playing but he also seems to be studying.
I did Duolingo, had one of those evenings where I feel stupid because it feels like I’m not making progress (partially true and partially just a normal feeling when learning something), read a newsletter about doing a review halfway through the year, tried finding my goals for 2025 and found that – I hadn’t made any.
I mean, that’s not quite true, I still have the same goals I’ve had for years. And the only one I could cross off the list is „publish book 1“.
So, not very uplifting.
I decided to leave the dishes for today, spun and knitted a little in front of TV after doing my foot exercises and went to bed.
Fingers crossed I’ll use my time better today.
