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.
I didn’t watch the O’s yesterday but may or may both catch some hockey today. Re winter walks, I agree that it is the wind and not the cold that is the killer.
ReplyDeleteOooh that last photo of you is beautiful!!! Well, all the photos are but I really like that one. I am so nosy, I love these posts so much. I like to see what everyone's doing. When my kids were little they watched Phineas and Ferb, and there is a character on that show called Isabella, and her catchphrase is "Whatcha doing?" and I always feel like that. This will mean nothing to you as I am sure you've never watched it but WHATCHA DOING is kind of how I feel while reading this. I hope you're travelling for a good/ fun reason this weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteLIke Nicole, I'm nosy! I love posts like this so, so much, and I'm paying alarmingly close attention (wait, what time did she get up? How long did it take her to make dinner?) The details of people's lives are fascinating!!!
ReplyDeleteI was actually relieved to see that Amazon package- I've cut way down on my amazon purchases but still do use them for some things. Sigh. And- the Olympics only happen for two weeks EVERY FOUR YEARS, so you're completely justified in watching as much as possible. I have it on every night, and will have it on all weekend.
I LOVE reading posts like this. I find them daunting to do myself and it has been a YEAR (a YEAR) since a did a Day in a Life, but I would happily read one of these posts every single day. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't set an alarm very often because my kids wake me up if I'm still asleep when it's time to get going for school. I hate mornings so much.
I watch at least a little bit of the Olympics each day. Because of the time difference, I am often watching replays in the evening, so I'll sometimes skip to the parts I want to watch (for example, I watched Ice Dance after the fact, so just watched the top four pairs programs).
It is a second consecutive snow day for my kids, so I'm home with them and have women's hockey on in the background right now, but I don't typically watch Olympics live/during the day if the kids are at school.
I neglected both physical books I am reading and watched the Olympics yesterday too. I haven’t even started my CBBC chapters for this week yet. Amazon…boo. I had to buy something from them recently that I couldn’t get elsewhere, so I signed up for Prime for a month in order to avoid shipping. Now I need to remember to cancel, but I’m waiting just in case there is something else I should buy real quick…I have a few days yet. My point is, NO JUDGEMENT.
ReplyDeleteI love that birthday card, thank you for the link, I may want to get one…gosh, cards are expensive these days, aren’t they?
That little Hannah-bun just got me. Is there anything more cozy than a pet all curled up near/on you? No. No there is not.
ReplyDeleteNo judgment here about Amazon. I have to use them for Piper's L-Lysine supplements. No pet store here carries them anymore, despite my requests and urgings. I think we all do what we can when it comes to Shopping With A Conscience And Intention.
The day I retired, I took all clocks out of the bedroom. If I need to set an alarm for any reason, I use my phone, and that is rare. I heartily wish all of you could enjoy this luxury; I truly, truly do.
