Another day evaporated into the ether

I mean, I did open the manuscript. And am now at the point where I thought I was at the end of last week.

I went grocery shopping but not before starting a new pair of fingerless mittens:

I has become rather cold here and I don’t have mittens that go with my new cardigan so I guess I’ll make another pair of Kærlig mittens. Who knows, maybe this time I won’t screw up the second one like all the other times.

It was cold enough to wear fingerless mittens while biking to the supermarket but the sun was shining and the weather was glorious.

My husband made rice, beans and chicken:

I have to say, now that I am trying to lose weight again, food just tastes so good! It’s the difference between being really hungry and just having a bit of an appetite. Highly recommended.

I still ate too much chocolate afterwards. And did not manage the dishes which came to haunt me later.

I taught a student, I hung up a load of laundry, I taught another student, I spent another break mostly reading and then eating dinner. I taught another student. I ate some more chocolate and then sat down to finish the novel I was reading. And now I’ll have to wait until next June for book 3 and the resolution of the cliffhanger. Harumph.

Which didn’t stop me from starting a new novel, one that will come out in three installments. I’ll have to wait for the second one for four weeks or so as well.

In between I researched changing the battery in my eReader. I charged it fully the night before and after breakfast it was at 85%. I mean, I can live with that but I’d rather not. But it turns out that it’s not that easy to get a replacement battery, and on top of that, this eReader is glued together. Not impossible to open without breaking it but I’d rather not try.

Maybe, before I buy a new one I should look into how easy it would be to repair. I could also just switch back to my slightly older eReader. I lent it to my husband but he isn’t using it. Much.

Or I just live with having to charge my eReader every two to three days.

And that is how I spent most of my evening until it was time to do the dishes, Duolingo, foot exercises, watch C-drama and go to bed all at the same time.

Sigh.

But. Today is a public holiday.

Of course I’ll get all the things done. Yep.
