I might have stayed up an hour too late and then gotten up an hour early and then picked up my phone. I did manage to turn it around somewhat by only skipping meditation and opening the manuscript after breakfast but, well, better next time, I guess.
I knew I would have a long and busy day. One of the top questions in the morning was if there was enough yogurt for two days or only one. Because if there wasn’t I would have wanted to pick some up ASAP. But there was enough so all is good.
We had breakfast in a cold kitchen because we were expecting the chimney sweep in the early afternoon and weren’t sure if he would look at the chimney for the wood stove or only the furnace. So we didn’t light a fire just in case.
I cut my husband’s hair which was long overdue, he’d had to smooth it down with water for a few days. I did the dishes and then went out for my walk/run:
I had been anxious about the ice warning but it turned out the footing was much better than the week before because there was all this snow and that provided grip. Even the running parts were fun.
Lunch was early for once (no wood stove, ahem) and so we ate just after I returned home:
Then I took a shower and was lucky in that the chimney sweep rang just as I was pulling up my pants. I opened the door with a towel around my hair but fully dressed. I left him downstairs and then half-waited for him to tell me he was finished only to find that when it was time for me to start teaching he was already gone.
I’m assuming he talked to my husband and didn’t just head out without a word.
Then there was teaching and scheduling makeup lessons for when I was sick in December. The Monday students make the bulk of that because that was the only day I canceled completely. My schedule looks pretty full the rest of the week but after that I will be mostly caught up.
And then it was time for dinner and the first session in the course I am taking right now, „The Liberated Writer“. I am still rather skeptical about the whole enneagram thing but I like the teacher and I think it will be a good place to tackle some mindset stuff.
It turned out I knew quite a few of the participants from elseweb and I think the whole thing will be interesting and helpful. How I will fit that into my week is another question, especially with the extra lessons. But that’s just this week. It will be fine.
I started writing this post right after, then made the list for today and that was mostly it for the day because I was very, very tired.
And now I’ll go out for errands and grocery shopping. Then teaching, then homework, I guess.
