Mind you, only to the hardware store.
I got up early, did my complete morning routine and all the usual stuff in the morning including the breakfast dishes, then set out on foot to walk to the other end of town to return the newest living room lamp. The store was packed but the return was completely painless.
Then I walked to the big grocery store and bought all the food again, then walked all the way back. My legs aren’t used to that much walking anymore. I was afraid my feet would start hurting again but so far they seem to be fine. I was wearing my orthotics, of course.
Lunch was wieners and mashed potatoes:
The boy even ate together with us and we had a nice time. Then I took a long break, finally vacuumed the old parts of the house, cleaned the washbasin and toilet in my bathroom and took a shower almost in time for my weekly writers check-in. Check-in was lovely and extremely interesting and I managed to make great progress on the I-cord bind-off for the shawl.
Then I had to rush to meet the rest of the family. Since we still had limes from the week before my husband made the executive decision to have caipirinhas again:
And we had weird little mini pizzas for dinner. We watched another episode of Columbo together, this time my husband actually asked us to pause the show when he didn’t get something which made for a much more pleasant viewing experience. We’re slowly training him to understand that none of us minds pausing the show all the time. When it’s just the boy and me watching we do it all the time as well. I mean, there’s always something to discuss or look up on Wikipedia, often both. (This time it was „what’s a coroner’s jury?“ and „where does the word addiction come from?“ Among other things.)
After that I decided to have a second beer with some cheese and watch C-drama while the boy was taking a shower. I nodded off right in the middle of a Duolingo lesson and went to bed without starting this post or doing my foot exercises.
Today I’ll do the usual Sunday things, get my bullet journal ready for the new month and make all the plans. Bonus points for dyeing my eyebrows and lashes.
