The day got off to a kind of a bad start when I turned the lights out at 1 am.
Because around 9 or so I had told the boy I’d play first and do my evening routine later.
I mean, I did. Mostly. Way later.
It’s often these tiny things, I think they don’t really make a difference and then they turn out to make all the difference in the world.
Anyway, I wrote morning pages but did not open the manuscript, did yoga and meditated for five minutes before having breakfast with my husband. Both my weight and my blood pressure are moving in the direction I want them to, so that’s nice. My guess is also that those two things are connected.
We talked about all kinds of things, and then I was too late to call my mother who had already been waiting. Ouch. After the phone call I quickly did the dishes and then my husband made a big lunch for us:
In typical fashion he had forgotten to make the Brussels sprouts that were the original inspiration for this meal. Good thing they are still in the freezer.
We ate lunch, all three of us together, and then we went out to vote again. There were two run-off elections, one for the main mayor and the other for the county administrator (no idea how to actually say that in English).
Afterwards the boy and I ate the ice cream I had bought on Thursday. My favorite ice cream brand was on sale.
Then it was time for one of the monthly Zoom calls I often watch, so I did that while knitting part of a sock. Then the boy and I did bodyweight training where I tried using heavier weights for one of the exercises but my finger. joints protested so I scaled back again.
I finally ate dinner, started writing this post while the boy was making himself ramen, I wrote a list for today and for the week and brushed my teeth earlier this time.
And now for another week filled to the brim.
