Advent 2024 - Day 20
This was a hard day - hopefully the last such one until Christmas.
We started with the big cleaning frenzy. Our cleaning lady was on time, and we went through the entire flat in just two hours. While she was working in one room, I put the already finished ones back into order, so I finished about the same time as she did. But getting up at 6am really hurt.
Afterwards, Mum and I had breakfast, and then I left for my second weekly shopping tour. I usually go to the shops twice a week because I just can't haul home everything at once. It was a successful one but took forever; the supermarkets were overcrowded, mostly with old people blessed with the unique talent to block everything with their shopping carts and make it impossible for others to reach the shelves. *sigh* I'm an old hag myself, but I still get frustrated by my generation sometimes.
Coming home, we had lunch - leftover soup and Zwiebelkuchen that I bought at Lidl, so that I wouldn't have to cook - watched some telly, I called H. on the phone and then fell asleep for about two hours. Got up to watch the next episode of "The Repair Shop" - only to find out that the stupid channel took it off the programme. Grrrrrrrr!
At least I finally took the time to post the last chapter of "Enterprise - The Maiden Voyage, Part I." to AO3. I'll start posting the already written Part II. in the new year.
