Very, very tired and exhausted which was to be expected. I still wrote morning pages, did yoga and meditated for five minutes but I did not open the manuscript first thing.
It was a day where everything took ages and my mind was a slow as a vey slow snail.
Husband made his version of paella for lunch:
The boy actually came downstairs before lunch was ready but not by much. We ate together while my husband was busy watching ski jumping and then we set out to make cookie dough for the Christmas cookies that we didn’t manage to make earlier. To out defense baking while sick with covid is probably not a good idea and since then there was always something.
We spent the afternoon baking and the boy did the dishes three or four times in total. Here are the two kinds of cookies we made, Zimtsterne:
And Vanillekipferl:
We actually finished just in time for a late lunch. Our original plan had been to eat some more smoked salmon on toast for dinner but my husband and I agreed that we couldn’t face more fish, or even champagne that day, so we didn’t.
I started making a list of leftovers, the fridge is still very, very full.
I played a bit of Genshin (and the boy helped me at one point so I could get to bed earlier, brushed my teeth and went to bed with „Snake-Eater“ by T. Kingfisher, a book that I spontaneously started reading that morning and really like so far. I also want to go through „World of Wonder“ again this year, and re-started the „War and Peace“-challenge. Last year I gave up at one point, mostly because I didn’t like the version I was reading and because I got confused with what I was supposed to read every day.
So. Busy day ahead today, there was talk about getting back to bodyweight training and biking to the garden center…
