I had to start early today because we had no bread in the house, so food shopping was required before breakfast. It isn't that a rare occasion (I mean shopping before breakfast), since I've been done this interval fasting for years, so breakfast usually takes place around 11am in our house.
Of course I managed to oversleep, and since I also had to wash my hair first, it was well beyond 11 when I got home, having gone to two different supermarkets and the Chinese market for cosmetics stuff. During which I conveniently forgot to buy orange juice (of vital importance for tomorrow, when I'm planning to make orange-flavoured biscuits) and quark (also needed for a later attempt of baking). Stupid is as stupid does.
Still, I managed to do a bit of writing between the shopping tours and 3am, at which time I had to leave the house again: to go to the third supermarket on my way to choir practice. All necessary items bought, I went to school, ordered my eggs for the next month, and then we had choir practice. And cake, since our conductor had birthday, and the husband of our friend Eenie baked a wonderful bunt cake for her. (He's a trained cook and baker, even though he works in a vastly different field.) Choir practice itself was fun as always, but the cake made it even better. :)
Coming home, I called my friend Evie to listen to her decluttering report (today was the time when all sorts of household rubbish were collected and removed by the city authorities for free, as long as one put them outside the house) and to make sure the insanely strong winds haven't damaged her newly planted trees and berry bushes. Good new in both cases, so that's a relief.
Yeah, it was a somewhat disjointed day, but I've accomplished a lot and had fun, so I'm not complaining. :)
