I did get enough sleep and did morning pages and opened the manuscript, so that was good. And we started a load of laundry before breakfast.

It was snowing and very cold but we went to the garden center by bike anyway. And found one lone rosebush with two small red blossom. Also, we bought almost everything on my husband’s garden center list. And brought the rose home in the bike trailer without crushing it.

Then we went to the hardware store where we spent a long time searching for things. Not only is that store overwhelming all the time, they also re-arranged everything again. As did the garden center, by the way.

We came back home. I had been pretty anxious beforehand because of the weather but it was actually way easier than I thought and it was not as cold or as slippery as I thought it would be.

As I said, dumb.

I started writing this post, finally did the dishes and went to bed.

Now I just need to do the cleaning today, also some exercise, Zoom and spending time with family.
