1. On a Normal Day I get up between 7-9 AM. I head to the kitchen for coffee! and then fall into the chair in front of the TV and Good Morning America... Something I have done ever since 9/11 just to make sure the world is still spinning....it takes me 45 minutes to watch the first hour... then it is off to bathe and dress for the day... back to the kitchen to fix breakfast, it is taken back to the TV where I watch the next half hour of GMA saving the last half hour for later in the day.
2. Next I head to the computer.... check the e-mails and see where i am at with projects and challenges... If I don't have anything else I have to do, I will spend at least till lunch time on the computer.... some days I set a timer for an hour, then do something else that needs to be done for an hour, etc...
3. Something I learned a long time ago at Weight Watchers is to space your meals at least 4 hours apart... I normally stop and eat when I am hungry...by now it is mid afternoon! I watch the last half hour of GMA while eating lunch.
4. Eating makes me sleepy so usually there is now a nap, Since I normally sleep less than the recommended 8 hours, sometimes much less, I feel no guilt at having that nap... According to my Fitbit, I almost never sleep 8 hours in any 24 hour period.
5. Up from the nap , it is back to the computer, till dinnertime. The cats get fed around 6:30 -7 PM
6. Dinner is never before 7 PM, sometimes much later... the evening news is watched during dinner... Then Back to the computer while the TV choices of the evening are being recorded, so I can zap the commercials later on...
7. Bedtime is whenever I get too tired to keep my eyes open , after a mixed evening of TV and Computer... usually between midnight and 4 AM...
....and yes, I still get up in the same time period after the 4 AM nights, which are rare, but if I get involved in something that interests me and am not sleepy, it happens... For the record, I never have any issue with sleeping, because I wait until I am sleepy...
*****
.... and all the other things!
Now all of this said, it sounds as if all I do is sit at the computer, or in front of the TV... But, there are days with no computer time and little TV... and mixed into most days is a lot of variety such as church on Sundays, a singles group 2-3 times a month where I am in charge of the mid month dinner out... there is socializing with friends, face to face, and on the phone, that eats up lot of time... I do not normally read, because I cannot slow my mind down enough to sit in one place long enough to read... I do own a house that has a large yard, and I take care of all of it by myself... except for things that are totally beyond me... like plugged up washing machines! I have painted much of the house, most recently the hallway, all by myself and do virtually all my own maintenance... I occasionally manage to travel... 2 major trips last year... and of course there are always those pesky visits to the doctor, dentist, hair dresser, etc and shopping.... the things life is made of for all of us.... But the Scrapbooking is my passion ... Obviously!
