I couldn’t decide for most of the day.
And yes, going to bed at midnight might have been part of it. Also the fact that it feels like I can’t get anything done, and that life feels a little out of whack in general.
I did the usual morning pages, opening the manuscript (for ten minutes), yoga and meditation thing, then breakfast with my husband and finishing a sock. I didn’t take a picture because the light was so dim all day.
The boy went to uni again for the third time because of his bachelor stuff, and – the secretary wasn’t in. He’ll have to come back at another time.
I had a hard time getting my ducks in a row and forgot that I had promised my husband to cut his hair twice.
At least I finally got it done.
Then a walk to the supermarket, the pharmacy, and the health food store, all in the rain. That couldn’t decide if it was serious or not, so I kept switching between wearing an umbrella and just letting my hair get frizzy.
I came home to the marvelous smell of spices and lentils:
There wasn’t much time between lunch and teaching. If I had really wanted I could have done the dishes but instead I read, played games and ate chocolate.
One thing that was bugging me all day was that I had a student tentatively schedule a lesson for last night in June. If my memory can be trusted she promised to tell me beforehand if she was coming back or not.
She did not tell me anything.
So I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t have to teach that lesson but I couldn’t be completely sure, and that kind of thing drives me bonkers.
If I had taught that lesson bodyweight training would have had to wait until 7.15 or so. Without that lesson it was 6.30.
Since I was still hurting everywhere from the time before I made several exercises a little easier and that was definitely hard enough. I am collecting things that make my back hurt at the moment, so far I have: letting myself down from the chin-up bar with my back curved the wrong way, sitting for too long, not sitting enough, wearing any kind of shoe, also not wearing shoes at all, using the heavier dumbbells for „Romanian deadlifts“ and – the cherry on top – crossing my legs when I play guitar. Which is a habit I managed to break once before (because of hip pain) but I like doing it, especially sally when playing bar chords, because it is more ergonomic. But well, I guess that one is out again.
I then ate too much for dinner, did the dishes, started writing this post while eating chocolate (the health food store is still out of my favorite kind but I ordered ten bars online, ha!), was a good girl and did my foot exercises, back and hip stretches, watched C-drama while knitting on a hat, did Duolingo and went to bed.
I’m really hoping my mood will be better today.
Let’s just focus on new month, fresh start.
