Hard day

[wiseheart]

I've done one-third of the bi-weekly cleaning today: bath, loo and kitchen. All in one morning. In the middle of it, the janitor came to fix the kitchen sink tap that was slightly wobbly. For that, I had to empty the cupboard under the sink, so that he could scramble in. Joy, joy. But he did fix the tap, and he promised to fix the door of the kitchen cupboard that has refused to close properly for the last three years or so.

He also promised to contact some specialist team that might fix the balcony. I won't held my hopes too high, but it would be wonderful, right?

Barely had he left - in fact, I just had enough time to put the kitchen back in order - when the physiotherapist lady arrived. Soon thereafter I left for choir practice, buying some detergents on my way there. And salted caramel candies just because I felt I needed a small reward. Fortunately, there were enough people with a sweet tooth in the choir, so I haven't eaten the whole package alone. I even saved a few for Mum.

Our choir leader was overly enthusiastic today. Normally, choir practice ends at 18.30. When ten minutes later she started practicing a new piece, I simply left. There was still some daylight at the time, and I hate going home in the dark. There will be enough of that in a couple of weeks, and besides, Mum would have been worried, even if I called in time (which I did anyway).

Me-time was accordingly sparse today, but I did a tiny bit of crafting. I've cut out the basic parts for six more lavender sachets, selected the appliqués and the thread for them and did a bit of detail work on three of them. I call that success.

Writing-wise the day was even more meagre. I only managed a couple of sentences, but as we say at picowrimo, words are words.

We have a firmly established schedule with Mum. It means we're having supper before 7pm. If we are late by too much, the whole schedule skips on the next day, re: my 8/16 diet. That happens more often than I'd like, so I try to keep to that schedule as well as I can.
