If a little long.
I woke up from the alarm and promptly fell back asleep, bad habit, I need to go to bed earlier for sure. I did open my manuscript but spent my thirty minutes writing about writing and re-reading things. I also opened the first version of that story that I wrote years ago because a part of me thinks that one is much better than what I’m writing now.
I still really like that beginning and find it compelling and there is a voice that I probably can’t do anymore but when I then looked at the beginning of the current version I actually like that one better. Very motivating.
I did skip yoga yet again, I’m quickly making that a habit. A bad one, I should definitely change that.
After breakfast my husband and I only had a short time before leaving for Munich. We wanted to go to a Christmas market and walk around our old neighborhood. We both lived there for a while but not at the same time.
When we arrived in Munich at Isartor our first concern was to find a bathroom. In the end we went to the Müllersches Volksbad to the section where one can take a bath or shower only and I used the men’s bathroom. There was no one around and my husband stood watch.
I wanted to get a better feel for that part of Munich (Haidhausen) and figure out where I could put the mansion where one of my protagonists lives. Unfortunately, there are no mansions in that part of town but I decided to put it there anyway. Maybe here:
Or here:
Or here:
We walked all the way to the Friedesnengel:
And sorry for not putting alt-text in today I’m pressed for time again.
On our way to the Christmas market we passed the Hofbräukeller and decided we’d rather eat there than standing outside freezing. The food was delicious. My husband had venison sauerbraten:
And I had Kässpätzle and alcohol-free beer on tap:
And then we finally walked to the Christmas market at the Weißenburger Platz. It’s bigger than I remember, I looked at all the earrings because I want a new pair but couldn’t decide at all, my husband bought a new mortar and pestle from olive wood and sugar-roasted almonds and Lebkuchen.
Then we went back because I was nervous, I had a student at 3. We came home with twenty minutes to spare, I wanted to take a break but the boy was just up and wanted to talk so I only had ten minutes.
I had a break between students in the afternoon that I used to write emails to the web hosting provider and to my GP because I need to get my thyroid hormones checked. The doctor’s office called me right away, right there in a piano lesson but I took the call anyway to get it over with.
I thought until 8pm which is definitely too long, my husband did all the dishes because he had only one student all day. I finally ate dinner at 8.30, then slumped around for a bit, finally figured out how to bind the potholder off (by looking into the pattern, duh) went to bed thinking I’ll just read a little bit and turned the lights out a bit too late because the thing I’m currently reading is the new Gail Carriger novel and I really didn’t want to put it down.
Today there will be less teaching which is good and then the weekend.
