Still exhausted on one of those days that feel like too many things go wrong

Nothing serious, though.

It felt like I had not gotten enough sleep and what I got was not the best but my smartwatch claims I got a little over eight hours. Okay?

I was slow again and decided to shunt writing after breakfast.

Over breakfast my husband aired a few complaints. Because I was away all weekend I feel like not seeing anyone at all whereas he feels like he needs more social interaction and those are competing needs. While we were talking I started weaving the ends in on a sweater I finished knitting 14 months ago. It still needs a bit of work but not all that much.

I did the usual morning things but talking with my husband a little longer than usual had not left any time for writing. no problem, I had a later than usual start to my teaching day so I’d just write a little after lunch.

I did the dishes and such and then went outside for my walk/run. The plan was to do a 58-minute workout. The same one I did on Monday.

I left the house, I listened to music, I started the app on my phone. Ten minutes in I looked at the screen and it told me I had 68 more minutes to go.

Oops.

My phone decided to not let me repeat the workout, it decided I should do the harder one that I had planned to do on Saturday.

I am very proud of me. I just stopped the app, chose a shorter workout more or less randomly and followed that until an arbitrary point and then just turned around until I was back home.

But I had looked forward to that run and walk and had wanted to compare it to the one before but I didn’t get to.

At home husband was in turbo-stress mode but told me to go ahead and take a shower first.

I later learned that he would have preferred for me to help him first and shower later but I didn’t know that.

I showered, then I helped with salad and herbs in a hurry:

Lunch was pretty late. Late enough that when I decided to do the dishes first before taking a break the break that was left was a 5-minute one. Oops.

When I was getting ready to teach my husband showed up, saying that he couldn’t unlock his basement computer because the keyboard wasn’t working. And that the same had happened the day before.

I have no idea why but plugging the keyboard into another socket helped. Maybe the keyboard is broken, I don’t know.

Then I taught all my students and that went well.

Only at one point there was a beep and afterwards I couldn’t get a wifi connection.

Husband again, saying that the power was out for a short time and now he couldn’t load YouTube.

Well, the router was restarting. Phew.

When I was packing my stuff up after work my laptop’s screen was black and the computer wouldn’t react to anything. I tried to restart, I made sure it was plugged in, no dice.

In my head I was already rearranging my week to include a trip to Munich to get my laptop repaired but then I decided to try a different charger.

The computer had only 1% batter left. No idea what happened and that is another thing I need to check out today.

Afterwards I cleaned the mirrors and then wanted to dust the house. Superficially.

I opened the cabinet under the bathroom sink to get a dust rag out and – every single rag in that bucket was dripping wet. Also, a few other things I had stored under the sink had been wet.

The days before I had scolded the boy for washing his hands to sloppily because there had been things getting wet under the sink.

Seems it was not the boy’s handwashing technique. And no, I have no idea what it was, we’ll probably look at it some time today.

Maybe mercury is in retrograde or something.

So I made a list for today, I started writing this post, and then I opened my manuscript and stared at it for ten minutes before playing Genshin for the first time that day.

And then I fell into bed.

Oh, and along the way, yesterday I somehow bought three new novels. Two are part of the series I am currently reading and the last one is „Rules for Ghosting“ that a friend recommended online.
