Rain

And my mother-in-law came back home.

I had gone to bed too late, didn’t sleep well, and woke up early. I know I’m harping on about this but it did make a difference in the day.

I skipped most of my morning routine but decided to at least do yoga and meditate. Breakfast was extra delicious because I used my favorite, full-fat yogurt again. Yum!

Husband and I talked a bit, then I did dishes and went out for my walk/run. More walk than run because I have been starting over, and for the first time the running intervals were not only fun but also felt not long enough:

Before I went out, though, just as I was putting my shoes on, the doorbell rang and my mother-in-law stood there. Her sister’s husband had picked her up from the hospital. Good thing we were still home because she hadn’t taken her keys. So we talked with her for a while, and asked her if she wanted some of our lunch. She loves soup and was happy to get some pasta e fagioli:

After lunch I took a short break before jumping in the shower and then it was time to teach.

I had a break between students that I used to make copies of my mother-in-law’s discharge report and to look up everything I didn’t know. Looks like her dizziness is caused by her inner ears, pacemaker data says she had an arterial fibrillation episode at the end of August and anti-coagulant meds might be a good idea. Nothing major, no stroke, no heart attack. Her sodium-levels are too low again as well. (I didn’t know that was a thing until she had that the first time.)

Then more teaching. Afterwards I went to my mother-in-law’s bank and paid the bill for the balcony repair, then I ate dinner, the boy asked for my help with a message to his advisor and to a fellow student, then my husband showed up to get some dinner as well, the boy again, and somehow there was Facebook and dumb videos right there on my computer.

I did manage the dishes, Duolingo and a few minutes of C-drama and went to bed at a reasonable time.

And now it is Thursday, apparently.
