Another night of meh sleep, another morning where I somehow never got around to opening the manuscript. I keep thinking I can open it later in the day. Oops, rookie mistake.
Husband and I spent a lot of time talking, mostly about friendships and people. Also, we’re waiting for his friends to tell us when they want to come in for making music. Husband insists on waiting for them to make the first move for once. Not knowing is driving me up the wall. I mean, him as well, but not as much as me, I think.
For once we were actually on time with chores and cooking and so our nice Christmas meal was ready on time:
Very yummy, potato dumplings (with store-bought dough), red cabbage and duck breast. And a piece of Silesian poppy see cake for dessert.
Just after we had finished eating, the boy finally showed up for the first time that day. Then my husband again, to talk some more. He is in the process of recording some stuff and needs to wander the house getting in the right mindset.
I did get quite a bit of knitting done. I also spent a lot of time reading because I really wanted to finish „The Curse of Chalion“. Excellent book. I liked it so much that I bought the next in series right away, and then I got second thoughts. I’m not sure I’m in the right mood for that book, we’ll see.
I did all the dishes:
This is after washing them but before drying and putting it away. Husband came into the kitchen asking me if I wanted help twice while I was dealing with this. I just wanted to listen to my YouTube video in peace while getting the kitchen back in order. Of course, shortly after there were people pulling out leftovers and frying stuff again. No idea why the rest of the family can’t eat bread for dinner like normal people.
Mind you, we have a fridge stuffed with leftovers to the brim, I guess we’ll eat some of those today.
My plans to sort the yarn or play the piano somehow never came to fruition but I did manage to kill a boss in Genshin for the first time on my own that had thwarted me several times before, so yeah.
And then the boy wanted to take a shower right before it was time for me to brush my teeth, something that often leads to me going to bed too late. And for some reason I spontaneously pulled out my ukulele (I mean, I have one for this exact reason stashed in the old part of the house) and played a few songs. Nice.
I could see the boy was immediately transported back to his childhood when I would play these exact ukulele songs while he was falling asleep in the next room.
And today will probably be more waiting plus going to the supermarket for toilet paper which is sort of important.
