Really not bad

So, I didn’t actually manage to go to bed on time. I’m blaming the boy, of course, nothing to do with me at all. Ahem.

But. Not having interesting email and newsletters on my Watch really did make a difference. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still spent some time re-reading old boring emails. And then I still stayed in bed staring at the ceiling. The good thing was that that staring-at-the-ceiling time meant I had a solution for how to tackle my new spinning project afterwards.

I did the usual morning things and this time that included almost twice as much time in the manuscript as usual. I did the whole morning pages, yoga and meditation thing, then had breakfast with my husband after which we talked a bit about the F Mixolydian #11 scale. And the fact that there is no such thing. My husband had encountered another exampled of the jazz musician as a human calculator way of thinking.

Then I was super inspired to start prepping fiber for my sock yarn. I had decided to spin a sample first, and for that I pulled off enough of the fiber that I had all the different colors in there:

And then I divided it lengthwise into three parts and started spinning the first one. It went very well. I’m just not quite sure I’m spinning fine enough but I guess I’ll see.

After that I did the dishes while my husband was out running, and then I slowly started the weekly cleaning. You know, the one that hasn’t really been weekly lately.

Everything went fine but when my husband came back he was resenting the fact that I kept running into his way. (He was also running into my way but I don’t mind as much. And cooking lunch has priority, of course.) We ended up in a not all that fun row but made up before the meal was over. The food was very good, though, if a bit too spicy:

I played some Genshin and finished the quest that I had tried four times a few days ago without success. Turns out I was making one or two crucial mistakes that made the whole thing unnecessarily hard.

And then it was time for teaching. I had a short teaching day with a lot of variety, piano, ukulele, guitar and then piano again.

Since I wasn’t finished with cleaning that’s what I did next, right after hanging up a load of laundry and starting the next one. The boy and I did bodyweight training on top of sore muscles and after that I could finally eat dinner. Phew.

But I wasn’t quite finished. I did the dishes right away because the boy wanted to take a shower, brushed my teeth and hung up a second load of laundry. In between I made my list for today and later I started writing this post.

And then there was some C-drama while knitting and bed. I was rather tired at this point but that’s okay after a day like that.

Now I’d just like today to be equally productive. I guess that’s up to me.
