When I woke up around 6am, it was 16 degrees and sunshine. No, really. I went back to sleep. When I got up at 8am, it was 18 degrees and rain. That decided it - I postponed the grocery run and decided to do the last leg of the cleaning. I wasn't as thorough as usually, very few pieces of furniture were actually moved (only the stuffed chairs), but I did go around with the vacuum cleaner to remove as much dust from our wall-to-wall carpets (=Teppichböden) as humanly possible. In just four room, it took me about an hour and a half, after which I collapsed for a short while and did some writing.
Today I also had to cook, so I made an easy vegetable dish (Erbsen und Möhren als Gemüse) and baked up some more of the feta and spinach puff pastry parcels (look at the alliteration!!!) for lunch. I also made Tütensuppe, so it was a fairly complete midday meal - which we ate around 4pm, when the physiotherapist lady left. No-one can accuse us of being overly conventional with out meal times.
As I used canned peas for the veggie dish, I now have another empty (and thoroughly scrubbed) can that I can turn into a pencil holder. It's going to be a Santa again, as I still have enough red and white felt left to make one. I already cut out the main parts, but sewing and glueing will have to wait. I'm too drained for one day.
In the morning I also talked to my friend Evie; there was quite the thunderstorm yesterday, and where she lives is frequently hit by those. Fortunately, it didn't happen this time, which was a relief.
So, grocery run has been postponed for tomorrow, even if there will be rain. We need yogurt and milk and fruit and several other things I'll have to write down or else I'll forget them. This tired old brain definitely needs its little helpers in the form of shopping lists.
