But we didn’t really celebrate all that much because we’re still waiting for covid to go away.
My own test was so faintly positive again that I had another moment of thinking it was negative. My husband continues to test negative throughout. Yes, we are waiting for the, um, third show to drop.
I did get enough sleep but the only way that happens at the moment is by sleeping longer in the mornings and that won’t do once I’m back to writing and yoga in the morning. We’ll see how that goes.
We did start the day with cake, of course, but I forgot to take a picture. Somehow we did not quite eat breakfast at the same time but we were in the kitchen together so I guess that counts.
The plan was to take a shower and work on publishing stuff but that didn’t quite happen.
There was takeout for lunch:


When I went to pick up our food (masked, of course) the restaurant owner went out to the terrace just as I was paying. Very strange. And then she came back with a box that contained a plastic lunchbox, soup container, spoon and fork.
It was a gift because we always ask for reusable containers.
I think most people don’t think of it but there was a law a while back that all takeout had to have the option for reusable containers and ever since we have been asking for those. Which also means we had to pay a deposit for each container and have to think about washing those and then taking them back the next time.
Anyways. We have a new lunchbox now.
My original plan had been to take a shower before picking up the food but then I decided against it because I didn’t want to go outside with wet hair. And then there was not quite enough time to take that shower between lunch and my first student but no problem, right? Because I had another break after the first student.
First student had her first online lesson because her mother didn’t want to take a risk. Mostly because they want to travel to South Africa over Christmas break. Alright with me.
Somehow time got away from me after that (again) and then, while I was sitting in the kitchen enjoying some more cake, my husband showed up to say that my next student was 15 minutes early. I was still wearing sweats at this point, oops.
So that student was taught and the other two as well. One of those was the first student all week to also wear a mask. I highly approve.
And after that I ate dinner, played lots of Genshin which was very frustrating because I upped my world level and now my characters are too weak again for everything and that was that.
I did my usual evening routine (but managed to not stay up until midnight, yeah!) and incorporated all the changes to today’s plan into my daily list.
Speaking of lists, I started reading Sarah Hart-Unger’s new book „Best Laid Plans“, I can already tell that I’ll enjoy that one.
