Well, in a way.
I had gone to bed on time, woohoo! I was not miraculously energized, alas. I did the complete morning routine including opening the manuscript and found that I was far enough with proofreading that the end was in reach.
We ate breakfast and I crocheted a bit after that, there were dishes, of course, and I waited for some packages. Including my new, shiny and rather small toiletry bag. I really like it but the drawer that holds all toiletry bags and packing cubes is getting rather full, I probably should move my oldest and biggest toiletry bag into the attic.
I called my mother because of her birthday and the mittens were a great idea. Even the color matches one of her jackets. I wasn’t sure, so it was a lucky guess.
Then I went erranding, I printed photos and bought toilet paper, I went to the supermarket for yogurt but they were out and I had to buy a different brand and then there was the health food store. The weather was glorious if cold and still windy.
I was a little late and sorry about it because it made things a little harder for my husband. I had the wieners we wanted to eat:
After lunch I started playing Genshin for a bit while the boy was eating lunch and he helped me a little. Always very embarrassing when you make stupid mistakes while someone looks over your shoulder but that’s how learning works. Also, I am far from able to hold a conversation while slaying monsters.
My first and third student had canceled because one of them was celebrating his birthday and the other one is his sibling. So I taught one student and then had a nice break. I fully intended to do something writing-related but Genshin beckoned and I managed to finish a quest. Because the next student canceled as well, they were feeling unwell. I also spent some more time proofreading and ended up with just one chapter left. So close!
I taught one student, then had another cancellation, ate a quick dinner, then watched a one-hour webinar while crocheting. I didn’t even take notes. Funny that, the beginner seminar from my newsletter provider was actually for new beginners. They were also going on and on about their new premium features that include AI-generated text. I mean, who wouldn’t want to sign up for an AI-slop newsletter?
I proofread the last chapter, hurray! Now I need to figure out what to work on next. Probably the brief for the cover designer and the blurb.
Then I went and played some more Genshin but did not start the next big thing. I am proud I managed that.
The boy showed up again and we found that I had planned to do the dishes at the same time that he wanted to take a shower so we agreed he’d do both.
I started writing this post, did Duolingo, wrote a list for today, and watched a few minutes of C-drama while spinning.
I’m hoping the weather will allow me to walk/run today, fingers crossed.
