7.26 Moment - One Picture Per Hour, Wednesday 5/24

 Bestest Friend and I are doing a blog project. Each day we will write a blog post on pre-determined theme chosen by a random noun generator. The theme for the twenty-sixth day of the month is "Moment." 

********************

Stephany did a one picture per hour on her blog and I thought it was fun. Here's mine! I did Wednesday, which was our anniversary, so we both treated it like a day off, even if we did check our email here and there.

7:07am - Hannah and I are out for our morning walk. She was super annoyed I was making her pose on what is generally our "all business" walk. 

8:10am - I'm doing Duolingo while Zelda is doing her best kitty modeling. Just as a note, that mat she's on is Hannah's mat, but Zelda uses it a lot, too.

9:03am - I'm reading a book and drinking my second mug of tea. 

10:45am - Working out to a Caroline Girvan video.

11:50am - Finally got showered (it's almost noon!) and started slathering things on my face. 

12:45pm - The last of the cookies I made my husband for his birthday. He wouldn't eat them (*sigh*), so I took them to the neighbor's house and had some for myself.

1:05pm - Afternoon walk with Hannah. This trail has been flooded for most of the spring and it's the first time we were able to walk it since there was snow on the ground.

2:12pm - It wouldn't be a day in my life without going to the library, would it? I dropped off two books and picked one up.

3:14pm - We went to a Cat Cafe to hang out with kitties. It was our anniversary and we decided this would count on our date. Neither of us had ever been to a cat cafe before and while I'm glad I went, I probably won't go again. It made me kind of sad, all these sweet kitties who need homes. It also was sort of smelly and I can't imagine actually eating or drinking something there. Anyway, the people there were lovely, the kitties were adorable, and I'm glad I did it.

I think this is coming off as more negative than I intend it to. It's in a college town and I think I would have loved this sort of thing when I was homesick for pets as a college student. It's just not for me right now, I think.

4:17pm - After the cat cafe, we actually went to a different coffeeshop so I could get an iced americano. We did a brief walk along the lakefront (there is a SAGA about this lakefront that I might write about later), but we were scared off early by jerk redwing blackbirds who are aggressive in protecting their breeding grounds.  

5:43pm - Getting dinner started. Butternut squash soup for us tonight. 

6:48pm - I'm still putting the finishing touches up on dinner and Zelda the Cat crawled into Hannah's bed to watch me because you can see straight into the kitchen from this location. Note how Zelda sleeps in Hannah's places more than Hannah does.

7:39pm - It's trash night, so I snapped a photo of the line of bins.

8:08pm - My girls both looking out the window at the same thing! They're so cute.  

9:22pm - Getting Hannah ready for her last chance pee before bed.

10:04pm - Bed! Kindle! I read for twenty or thirty minutes before lights out.

What's your usual bedtime? Do you read before you fall asleep?
