Slightly less stress, though, which is always appreciated.
I went to bed half an hour late and was rather slow in the morning. No manuscript time. I’m starting to see that I need to adjust my estimate of how much time I have in a regular week for things related to writing and other extra projects way down. But we’ll see.
I did morning pages, yoga and meditation, at least.
Had breakfast with my husband who was feeling pretty low. I had the feeling he was much better later in the day, though, so that was good. I felt super low on energy as well, with that weird headache, the feeling I’d rather go back to bed or crawl into a hole and that typical „somewhat nauseous and the light is too loud“-feeling.
There were dishes and such and then I went on a very short walk/run. I thought doing just half an hour instead of a whole hour would make it easier and give me more time but I ended up being as late as ever and was dragging my feet all the way.
I think if I managed to go an hour earlier the running would be much easier because I wouldn’t be so hungry. Anyway, I did take a photo but I didn’t feel like smiling:
I came back home just in time for lunch: eggplant from our yard, chickpeas, bulgur, feta and some ground beef from the day before:
Husband and I talked a bit when I realized I was already running late because I had to start teaching early. So I jumped in the shower real quick and after that I still had fifteen minutes for some me-time and chocolate.
Teaching was more fun than expected with a short break in between that I used to start another load of laundry. (I had started a load of wool things in the morning and my husband was the one hanging that one up because I ran out of time.) My last student didn’t show, she had forgotten to tell me that her piano – which should have been restored at the beginning of September – was still not done. Apparently without a piano it doesn’t make sense to go to lessons. I mean, yeah but also no. She said she’d start again next week.
After that I ate dinner and played games for ages. My husband was teaching very late. The boy showed up and talked to me about problems with the data for his bachelor thesis at length. The way these things are handled in STEM are completely alien to me and I expect him to be expelled for not handing stuff in at a certain time but he assures me everything is fine.
I then started writing this post, hung up another load of laundry, tidied the kitchen, watched some more course videos, and went to bed.
I did not finish watching the course videos and doing my homework even though I spent most of my free time on it. (Well, apart form the two hours I spent reading and playing games, ahem.) So I guess I’ll do that today. In theory I have an extra hour in the afternoon because a student canceled. We’ll see.
Today will also be grocery shopping day plus some errands. But only a few students because of those two canceled lessons.
