When I decided to document a snapshot of my day I had not anticipated it to be such a weird scattered day. But maybe that is exactly what makes it interesting to document such a day.
I am typing up this post at 10 pm.
Time I woke up: 7:30 am
First thing I did upon waking: after just laying in bed a bit, I went to the bathroom, on the way back got my phone (which is never in the bedroom) and heading back to bed. Checking blog comments and replying. And then unfortunately doom scrolling instead of reading which I had wanted to do.
Today’s weather: At 9 am: sunny, lightly blue skies, temperature 10°C (50°F). Forecast no rain. up to 16°C (60°F), winds, sundown at 4.16pm
First thing to drink: a glass of water
Meds I took today: Vitamin C complex, magnesium
Last thing I read (not on the Internet): I really don’t know. It will be my book in a few minutes. Does that count even though it didn’t happen yet?
Edit: I remember now, an invoice I found in the mail box.
Last thing I read (on the Internet): Instagram posts
Last text I sent: to the husband complaining about the failed audio recording and how unprofessional it feels.
Last text I received: from the husband. Starting with Oh no. Shit…. trying to be supportive of my failure.
Last website I visited: this blog. I might be booking a train to a Christmas party when I am done. A to-do I haven’t crossed off. But maybe I just do it tomorrow.
Last show I watched: Rosewood, about a pathologist and a cop solving cases. Unfortunately a double episode with a cliff hanger.
Last podcast I listened to: Best Laid Plans by Shu, eps. 276
Last thing I said: I am sorry you are not feeling well. To the husband.
Last thing I ate: Potatoes and Quark with linseed oil and tomato salad – my staple after Zumba on Thursdays
Last money spent: I was approved for a grant today which I spent in less than 30 minutes on an advanced training about crisis communication starting Monday.
What I was doing an hour ago: eating and watching Rosewood and welcoming the husband home.
What I will be doing an hour from now: be in bed and read
Current whereabouts of the other members of the household: husband = kitchen
One thing I crossed off my to-do list today: an interview with a CEO about port development in different cities around the world.
An out-of-the-ordinary thing that happened today: a failed recording of above mentioned interview which is really bothering me to no extend and messed up the entire rest of the day because I had to spend time recoding the whole thing by hand after the call in order to not forget anything. It’s a tiny disaster I do not have the audiophile. Sigh.
One thing that elevated me today: My Zumba class. It was such a joy, I really gave it my all and went all in. I was seating and I can already feel the sore muscles of tomorrow.
One thing I am grateful today: a pretty good nights sleep,
Unfortunately my day was so busy that I forgot to snap any other photos besides the one when I checked the weather. I had planned to document a bit more. But here I am… ready to head to bed.
What are you grateful for today? What didn’t work out as planned? The last thing you ate? Anything that elevated you today?
