Of course I went to bed too late and I didn’t even manage to write a list for the next day.
And then I had another morning where time ceased to exist, so no manuscript time and I was very late for breakfast. I did force myself to do yoga, though, and meditated for five minutes.
Breakfast was nice but then I found I had made a mistake in the sock-in-progress, I had one gusset stitch too many, so I had to count all the stitches several times, then tried to find out where I went wrong and had to decide whether that meant pulling the past 34 rounds out.
In the end I decided to fudge it. It might mean the second sock has two more rounds than the first one but I doubt that is actually noticeable. I just decreased a stitch in a place that will probably not stick out.
But all of that took some time.
Husband and I talked at length about my dumb problem with school breaks and how unhappy and cranky I get when I have free time which is rather embarrassing. Also, about how that affects him. Fun!
Then I did the dishes and went on a very short walk/run (because I was even more late at that point):
The weather was gorgeous at that point which I found confusing because I had expected rain but I was not. complaining. The rain can storm came later, in the evening.
Husband and I ate lunch which was delicious:
All the Greek food brought to you by way of leftover burgers.
After lunch I took a shower right away and then did the lunch dishes. The boy showed up after I had just finished those and produced – more dirty dishes. I decided I didn’t mind, doing dishes – like any kind of housework – is just an ongoing process. The kitchen still looks better with just a few plates in the sink than with two dirty pots, a frying pan and all the plates and cutlery we used for lunch.
After that I took a break, started playing my video game and then just went on and on. In between I talked with my husband again and he decided to run to the town lake and take a dip for a bit of spontaneous summer feeling. He is meeting a friend of his tomorrow for lunch and was also afraid he wouldn’t have the time to go running beforehand.
At six I met my writer friend for a co-writing session and I finally got the timeline-thing sorted. I also did a bit of research for book 3 about art colleges in Berlin and Münster, as one does.
Then I stayed at the computer a bit longer to start writing this post, then finally ate dinner, made a list for today, played just a little bit and went to bed somewhat earlier.
And now I need to figure out what to make for lunch today.
