paeanI dropped Monkey and Pigeon off at nursery school after a long breakfast. Then I went swimming for about the 10th time since Monkey was born. Twice a year doesn’t seem to improve my stamina, but it’s good for my mood. I like to imagine some year when I will have taking care of my health as an not bottom of the list priority. Maybe when the kids are a little older.
Then I Managed to have a long conversation with Mr. P where we actually got shit done (it was an on the calendar and scheduled in advance conversation with an agenda) without getting mad at each other once! With a lunch break, we went talked for over 3 hours, and I made a couple of actual phone calls. It was very useful, but did completely obliterate the time I had scheduled for writing some dreaded emails, and now, I want to do them even less. Ah anxiety, my old friend.
In the afternoon I bought the audiobook for Good Omens and spent 4 self indulgent hours trying to organize my sewing space. It’s still very much a WIP, and the photos don’t do justice to the number of half done projects that were littered on top of each other, but I’m very pleased to have found 4 pairs of sewing scissors. I also repurposed shelving that I had intended for a sewing wall set up in another room until it got claimed for other uses. Maybe before we move out, I will have finally installed all the shelves I bought for the house 4 years ago. Alas, tomorrow I have emails to write and a curtain to install. I’m hopeful that I’ll get back to actually finish the area before I have to return to work this coming weekend. There’s a lot of competing demands right now, and this is the only one that doesn’t benefit Mr. P more directly that was scheduled for my days off.
