6:24am - Hannah and I are out for a walk by the river. It's amazing how warm 25F/-4C feels when there's no wind.
6:29am - Still on our walk. New billboard up for my college!
I get home, charge Hannah's LED collar, feed her, and feed myself.
7:26am - Getting dressed and putting on makeup.
7:52am - On my way to work. I took this photo just to show everyone what my commute can look like. When people say things like "just go to Barnes and Noble/TJ Maxx/whatever else store" I giggle because I live in a place where farm equipment is a daily part of my life.
Got to work and started working. That was checking emails and following up on some loose ends from yesterday. I chatted with my boss for a few minutes about how the degree audit software is going, talked with my co-worker about repotting plants, and then remembered that I should probably actually water my plants.
8:54am - The plants were watered.
9:05am - We're working on revamping all of our marketing materials for our departments. One of our chairs said theirs was finished, but I disagree. I printed it out and I'm going to take it up to her office to talk it over with her.
10:38am - I just spent the rest of the morning working and drinking tea.
12:14pm - Doing a short yoga video before I did my virtual stretch class.
12:51pm - Now I need to eat lunch.
Then I worked all afternoon. Imagine me sending emails and calling people.
4:24pm - Home and picking up packages off the porch. One is a probiotic for the cat (I can only find it on Amazon and when I order directly from the company, they charge me $5 more and ship it through Amazon anyway, so I have a subscribe and save for it, but don't shoot me for using Amazon) and new sheets!
4:32pm - Sat down to read a chapter of my CBBC book. We're traveling this weekend and I literally have no idea when I'm actually going to have time to write that post, so I'm trying to at least read the chapters early.
5:19pm - Dr. BB wanted me to edit a letter he was writing, so I did that and as soon as I wasn't writing or holding a book, this happened.

| I look disconcertingly like my sister here. Boo. |
5:48pm - Cooking dinner.
6:20pm - While the frittata is in the oven, I feed Hannah.
6:43pm - If anyone ever wonders what I see while I'm eating at the table, it's this.
6:55pm - After dinner, I write a birthday card to my friend Nick (HI NICK - he doesn't read this blog).

I then sat on the couch and watched ice dancing for two hours. Could I have worked out? Yes. Could I have finished my CBBC chapters? Yes. Could I have cleaned the bathroom and washed the sheets? Yes. But I didn't. The Olympics don't happen every day.
9:07pm - Hannah and I went for a half hour.
Then I got ready for bed, put the finishing touches on this post, and am going to head up to bed. That's a wrap.

Did you watch the Olympics yesterday? What time did your alarm go off?

No alarm needed here- my cats are good about waking me up for treats if I sleep past 5am. No Olympics here- I don't watch much of anything.
ReplyDeleteThat morning commute is a familiar sight for me. Living in a rural area makes Amazon a necessity. There's no comparison shopping locally, let alone the academic books, car and appliance parts, or weird tools my husband buys. I do buy the occasional hard copy book in the local independent book store ( and they have hand made greeting cards too!) So we use Amazon for mostly non-book stuff.
