I went to bed way too late again, just around midnight. The boy and I were talking and a part of me just wanted some alone-time, you know how it is.
In the morning I kept being tired and hot and slow, so while I did force myself to do the usual morning pages, yoga (10 minutes) and meditation (5 minutes), that was it.
Talked with my husband over breakfast, found out that I had forgotten I had promised to make gnocchi from scratch and became even more cranky than before.
I did find my bathing suit and new bathing shoes, though, so that’s good. It might also be a good idea to try the suit on before venturing outside with it but if it is too big I’m screwed because the other one I own is much smaller. I would need to lose at least 10 kilos (22 pounds) to fit into it.
Anyway. I had big plans to vacuum and clean washbasins and toilets but ended up not doing that.
I did finish weaving the ends in on my new sweater and washed it and a skein of yarn I had plied a while ago.
While doing that I found that the washbasin I used was leaking profoundly. Some time in the afternoon I removed the cupboard underneath the sink and put a bucket there. And I have to tell you, I really should clean under that cupboard more often, it was filthy under there and, of course, wet.
On the bright side, this warrants calling a plumber which means we could also ask him to fix the leaking faucet in the kitchen and when I looked at the company’s website I saw that they are doing heating as well and install heat pumps and solar. So the plan is to ask them to fix our faucets and then talk to them about other possibilities.
My husband had started cooking the potatoes right after breakfast, so after washing my sweater and doing the dishes (At least that faucet is only constantly dripping into the sink. Much easier to deal with.) I started making the gnocchi dough and formed the gnocchi.
Husband came back when I was almost done with that.
He had ran to the local small lake, then gone swimming, and ran all the way back. In the midday heat.
He made the sauce and I made the gnocchi and we had a lovely lunch that was actually almost on time:
We talked a little longer, then I sat and played my video game and felt bad about not doing the dishes.
I had intermittent teaching all afternoon, two students, then a break because my husband was teaching my next student, then another student, another break, another student and that was it.
With that student he is good enough on guitar that he really should get lessons from my husband but my husband doesn’t really have any time for additional students. So we are trying something new, when the other student my husband teaches in that time-slot can’t make it, he teaches my student.
I did not use my time well that afternoon, the only thing I did get done was folding the laundry. Meh. Oh, and I refilled two fountain pens.
After my last student I sat around some more, talked with my husband a little, then did bodyweight training with the boy, ate a quick dinner with too much chocolate, and met my writer friend for another writing sprint.
I had to drag myself to the manuscript kicking and screaming but I ended up with some new words, at least.
Husband offered to do the dishes this time,
Then there was reading and playing Genshin and not much else, and then bed.
And today is the day where we bike to Wörthsee, go for a swim and bike back. My friend from New York was a bit flabberghasted that we were planning to bike for a total of 3 hours (I’m actually not quite sure how long it will take) but then we used to do that in the evenings after dinner all the time.
Anyways, I guess you’ll hear all about it tomorrow.
