I managed to do several things that had been weighing me down for weeks. And that with not getting enough sleep again.
In the morning I did my complete morning routine including opening the note I made with everything that happens in book 3 and the blurbs from books 1 and 2.
And then I wrote a draft of the blurb and it went rather quickly.
There was yoga and a pretty late breakfast again. I did the breakfast dishes and kept adding things to my list.
First I went to the doctor’s office to leave another urine sample. I was supposed to do so two weeks ago or so. I swung by the drug store for tongue scrapers and was very proud that I did not buy any mint chocolate.
Then I went to the health food store the second time in two days and braved the meat counter. Could I order lamb roast for the Thursday before Easter? He wasn’t sure. He did show my some very nice lamb fillet but, well, that was extremely pricey and also just a teensy piece, I needed at least five times as much.
He said he might be able to order something but wasn’t sure. And then he said he had some in the back, vacuum-sealed that would keep long enough. Bingo!
I also went on to buy some spices and more chocolate and chamomile tea, all things I had forgotten to bring the day before.
The plan was to change the sheets on my bed before lunch but there wasn’t time. Lunch was an old standby, rice and lentils:
Then I had a bit of a break before my first student that I used to read (started Sarina Bowen’s „My Kind of Guy“ that morning) and play my video game. I was very proud of myself after because I am actually getting better and had a major breakthrough.
Then there was teaching. And at one point a student showed up that I had rescheduled. Only I had given her the wrong time and had double-booked myself. Oh-oh.
But, the student I had double-booked her with was the one who almost never showed up. So I told her what had happened, started teaching her and sent the other student a text asking if she would show up, and if so (she would have been almost ten minutes late at this point) if we could do her lesson a little later.
Well, turns out she did not show. And had never intended to. Crisis averted. But I would have liked to know beforehand.
Since that left me with half an hour of free time between students I then finished writing the blurb, proofread it and sent it off to the cover designer and then I went online and ordered the contact lenses I had wanted to get for weeks.
Another student, then a quick round of piano exercises and it was time to do bodyweight training with the boy.
Then dinner, I started drifting off to social media but caught myself almost in time, started writing this post, did the dishes, wrote my list for today, descaled the electric kettle and changed the BRITA filter, played some more video game and went to bed.
I had really hoped to also have time to watch TV and spin but, well, can’t have everything. I would love to finish spinning the purple Corriedale and make myself a sweater from it but, well, another day.
