Some good and some bad things

Yesterday I went to my annual lung checkup and everything is perfectly well, unlike my shoulder which still hurts.

At noon I wanted to make us crêpe suzette, but I burnt the first batch of caramel and so the whole flat was full of smoke. The second attempt went better and my dear liked the meal very much.

Later that afternoon we went out for a walk through Böhmischer Prater and in the evening I participated in another episode of YSDC's Beyond the Vale: After Dark.

Following that we went onto the couch for some tv shows.

Shoulder not in great shape now

Yesterday morning I had some more treatments for my shoulder, but it just gets worse now. In fact the shoulder now hurts more than before the start of the treatments, so I guess I have to talk to my doctor about this next week.

At noon I got us some cordon bleus from Pause am Berg for lunch.

In the afternoon I was so tired, that I had to lay down for a bit and then we went out to do the grocery shopping.

Finally in the evening I baked a lemon cake for us and then we went onto the couch.

Boardgaming, but virtually

Yesterday we tried out the internet platform boardgamearena with one of our regular boardgaming groups. It is very well done, since all the rules of the games are implemented on the web site and you can just concentrate on playing the games themselves.

In the evening it was couch time for my dear and I with the latest NFL games.

Half treatments half chores

Yesterday morning started with some treatments for my should and when I came back home I made us some galettes for lunch.

In the afternoon I did some of the chores and later we played some boardgames online with our japanese lord and a dear friend.

Lockdown project: cooking

Yesterday's lockdown project was cooking lunch for us, since in the afternoon I was getting my first treatments for the shoulder and so I spent most of the afternoon away.

In the evening I came home rather exhausted and after a quick dinner it was couch time as usual.

Yesterday the second lockdown for Austria started and so this time around I started my own project for our flat. First day: wash the couches, which the cats were really happy about.

In the afternoon we played some Path of Exile with our japanese lord and in the evening we tested out the fresh couch.

Locking us down again

Yesterday we had an online roleplaying session with friends. It was a welcome distraction from the bad things happening all around us, which we affect us in the near an distant future.

The evening on the couch with the usual tv shows didn't help us to get rid of the worries and so I'm really worried about what will happen to us.

Staying home - is it in vain?

Yesterday we stayed home again, except for me getting us pizzas from Pause am Berg for lunch and for a quick walk through Böhmischer Prater in the afternoon.

Also in the afternoon was another live episode of YSDC's Beyond the Vale, in which I played an important part as always.

The day concluded on the couch infront of the big screen with us watching tv shows as usual.

Unexciting day

Yesterday was unfortunately another bad day at work, although some customers came, but they didn't find what they were looking for.

In the evening I went home and after a quick dinner it was time to assemble on the couch.

New stuff is coming

Yesterday was a regular day at work, although there were some surprise deliveries as well.

After work I went back home, installed my new monitor and we went onto the couch.

Bad luck? No just the usual day in 2020

Yesterday morning I did some of the chores and listened to podcasts. In the afternoon we went to the archery shop to complain about the quality of the arrows we bought last time, which nearly all lost their tips after the first hit in the target. After some dubious explanation ("The heat from the shot can sometime loosen the glue of the tips and then the tips stuck in the target.") the owner of the shop replaces the missing tips and we also bought some more bits and pieces.

In the evening, shortly before the usual couch session, my monitor started to emit burning electronical smells and is now out of order, so I'll have to get a new one today on my way to work.

Finally we went onto the couch together and watched some tv shows and declared that fate has abandoned us.

Of doctors and bows

Yesterday I picked up the results of my x-rays, for lunch I got us some pizzas from Pause am Berg, in the afternoon I went to the doctor to discuss treatment for my shoulder (I will receive physiotherapy and some pain meds until it's getting better) and finally my dear got her new bow delivered.

In the evening it was the usual get together on the couch of all the flat inhabitants.
