settling into the current routine

kareina My current schedule is: Weekdays, wake with Keldor just after 05:00, and keep him company in person as we get ready, then on the phone as he does the half hour drive to work, usually arriving around 06:00. Just before 06:00 I hop on my new electric standing scooter and glide the three minutes to work. In theory it takes 1.2 hours to clean the health center, and now that I have had some practice, I am only a little longer than that on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (some rooms are daily, some M-W-F, and the others are are Tuesday and/or Thursday), and today I actually finished before the "10 minutes left before you should be done alarm" (though I started five minutes early, and didn't change the alarm, so I wasn't quite as efficient as that sounded, and I have to go back after cleaning the pharmacy to start the washing machine with today's load of mops). Then I glide home. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I leave the house again on time to clean the pharmacy starting from 08:45 when the pharmacist arrives. That job takes around 20 minutes, then I head home again. Mondays I have the rest of the morning to continue projects for Double Wars Prep, clean my own house, do homework, apply for other jobs, take a nap, or work on my paper that my supervisor finally sent comments on (choose one--all isn't possible before time to head to Swedish class in the afternoon. Wednesdays I have just enough time after work to glide home, change out of work clothes, eat breakfast, pack lunch, and head to school The other days I have the remainder of the day to accomplish stuff from that list.
My camp improvement projects are pretty much all done, which is good. We start driving toward Double Wars a week from today, so between now and then I need to do a fair bit of pre-cooking. I have beets in the fridge so I can make my beetloaf today. I need to send Keldor a list of which dried fruits to buy for my Hais, we need to do some oven pancakes, and I should make some sort of vegetable pasties, at a minimum. The problem with a 10 day event is that it is long enough that pre-cooked food is starting to reach the end of its reasonable storage time by the end of the event. However, this shouldn't be a hot Double Wars, being so early in the year (we still have 65 cm of snow here, and while they have none in Skåne, it is still only early spring, even that far south) it may take some time for my food to thaw, so it should be fine. And we do have a campfire, so I can just swing by a store and cook in camp. It is just so much faster and easier to have things ready to eat, so I can just grab and go when I notice hunger. Unlike most of my friends, I don't really care if I eat hot food daily, or even every week. I like cold food.
After Double Wars we have events most weekends till the end of June, with lots of driving to get to some of them, at which point it is going to be harder to keep on top of my studies. Luckily Folkhögskolan ends, while we will be in Ireland for Strawberry Raid, but the Forntid i Norden class I signed up for starts directly when the other stopps. But hey, I am never bored!
