And I was so motivated!
I started out well with the morning routine until it was time to wake the boy up. I mean, I didn’t even need to actually wake him, I just needed to check he was awake. Which he was. And then, somehow, time got away from me. The boy had to print something out and showed it to me for proofreading and that was it.
I wanted to say that was it for the day. It wasn’t, not really, but it felt that way.
I did yoga and meditated and talked briefly with my husband. The boy had left the house already because he was meeting a friend at uni for registering their bachelor’s thesis. Which means the boy is now committed to a deadline.
I got ready and did the dishes and finalized the grocery list, and my husband went upstairs to his mother and brought her grocery list downstairs.
I biked to the supermarket. Which was extra fun again because of construction on the way and then the traffic lights at one of the bigger crossings was broken. I did cross safely. There were quite a few pedestrians who obviously were not used to crossing multi-lane roads without lights. You can’t wait until all the lanes are free, you cross them one by one. I mean, back when we were walking to school my mother always told me not to do that but, well.
Everything went fine.
I returned home, unpacked the groceries, talked to my mother-in-law, and then there was lunch. My husband had taken some of our rutabaga stew upstairs to his mother:
She is doing well but is unusually confused at the moment which is a bit worrying.
I talked to the boy after lunch, then taught my first student, failed to make use of my generous 90-minute break, taught two more students, in between I asked the boy to check in with his grandmother and to escort her to the doctor if needed.
After my last student of the day I met the two of the in hallway and I went upstairs to hear what the doctor had said.
Not much.
She should take her meds every day, regardless of the blood pressure at the moment. And that seems to be it. On the other hand she didn’t really remember much. So I guess we’ll see.
My husband and I did the dishes together, then I ate dinner, fell into a silly iPad games rabbit hole, finally finished „Chants of Sennaar“ (nice!) did Duolingo, started writing this post, made a new and shiny list for today where I will make up for everything I didn’t get done the rest of the week, finally managed to put the bread I bought into the freezer, watched some C-drama ad went to bed.
I am a bit disspirited about my wonderful new plan, seems it might have been a tad more unrealistic than I thought. Well, if that’s so I guess I’ll have to adjust the plan.
