I spent the night mostly with coughing and that meant I was not all that rested in the morning. I was pretty certain I had a fever again and was rather determined to cancel all my lessons.
But after writing morning pages and talking with my husband I found I was feeling a little better and decided to just do my regular planned day.
I went to the drug store, supermarket for yogurt, the pharmacy for painkillers and the health food store and then was completely wiped out again.
My husband still doesn’t really feel like cooking is also coughing a lot and thinks everything is too salty, so lunch was good but a little uninspired. Which is okay:
I had a bigger break before lunch and really needed it.
Then I taught all the students and ate a quick dinner before helping the boy study for almost two hours and then I helped him think through the logistics of his hotel stay tonight, exam tomorrow and how he will get back home despite the strike.
I also gave him a bit of cash for food, lent him a smaller toiletry bag and my power bank (his is a monster capable of charging his laptop, something he doesn’t really need to schlep around all day) and gave him throat lozenges and tissues.
In between I researched the weaving structure of a bedspread a friend of mine got in India, she sent me photos and I asked in my favorite forum on Ravelry and got pointed towards double weave. Which led to me buying Jennifer Moore’s book on the subject even though I don’t own a 4-shaft loom. I mean, I would love to have one but to be fair I wouldn’t use it a lot for sure. My beloved rigid heddle loom has a project sitting on it barely started in, um, 2015.
Anyway, diving into weaving research did make me happy, so that’s good.
After all of that I was completely out of energy but I still started this post and made list for today before going to bed.
Too late again, of course. Ack.
