Happy Thursday, Y'all!!! I hope you are having a great week. I am still waffling between happy, and being stressed, soooo, there's that!
I decided the night before (Wed) that I would do a Day in the Life post for Thursday, Feb 25th, but then I forgot that I was going to do it until an hour after waking up!
I thought I would a A Day in the Life today, as I had (have) a few things to do, so it won't just be me sitting watching tv, but not too busy that I wouldn't have time to take photos, etc.
Please note that these times are approximate, cause I don't often remember the times I did things. Also, during the day, I DO chat with Anker, but we mostly do our own thing; we will often chat while Anker is doing a project in the guest room, or I will chat to him while I am going from room to room :) He usually spends his day watching tv (mostly YT or NF), doing his game and doing his projects. He actually has done a bit of work in the yard today (as of 2:50), so yay!
9:45: Wake up. Yes, I am sleeping in most mornings. A part of me feels guilty, but a part of me doesn't. I make our bed, wash my face (I have been washing my face with Avene the last few days, and I love it! What I use is actually a makeup remover, but I use it to wash my face, and I like the results!, start organizing a bit in our bedroom, wipe down my "new" purse and wallet. I often will move stuff from the floor to my bed, and then back to the floor in the evening (I know, I am weird), so I will usually do this in the morning (my books and mags that I am reading, any paper work, etc).
10:00; Start on the dishes from the last few days. I actually had done some last night, but I had a few dishes that needed to get washed. I get my breakfast (cereal; I forgot to take a photo, b/c I forgot that I was going to do a Day in the Life today until after I had cereal, etc), and coffee, and I watch a Jamie Oliver cooking show on CBC. I also start on a running list of things I HAVE done today, so that I remember when it comes to blogging about the day.
10:15; toast waffles, continue dishes, eat waffles watching another Jamie Oliver episode.
10:40; Peruse Social Media (mainly IG), watch tv and drink coffee.
11:00; Switched over purse and wallet, watched This Hour Has 22 Minutes on CBC.
12:00: Dishes, laundry, garbage, swept floor, took out chicken for dinner, got items ready to swap to my new accordion file; all while I had Property Brothers Forever Home (Property Brothers) on HGTV Canada the background. I gathered a few things together that I needed to look through, etc. I also get dressedOpened up my window, and looked for various things. Grab a snack of some muffins that I had made a couple of days earlier, and a banana. I make a smiley face out of it for the photo, b/c I am weird like that.
12:30; I end up changing my pants, b/c the pants I have are too big. I also decided to tackle the mess that is my hair. I am using S Products scrunchies for my hair exclusively, and I love them! I also used Dove hairspray for my bangs.
1:00-2:30; werk, watch tv, make a drink (my fave is Bubly Sparkling Water with some Sipology tea; this time, I use an Orange Creamsicle Roobis with a peach flavoured water...yum!, switch laundry, start new load, banking, laptop stuff, responded to an email, job search, started on this blog, made a couple of phone calls.
2:30-3:00; call my brother, refresh my drink, switch laundry, get ready to head to the library. I check on my laundry in the dryer, but it still isn't done yet, and since I paid my $2 for it, I want the ENTIRE time! I also switch shows to Property Brothers on DIY Network.
3:00; I start dinner; I prep chicken with Shake N Bake, and throw it in the oven.
3:30; I leave for the library, but then I remember I had to get something for Anker at Shopper's Drug Mart. I went to Starbucks. I then went to the library, where I spent time looking through books that I had taken out, but I knew were going back (confused, yet?).
5:30; I decide to get home to see how dinner was progressing. I was going to get gas, but I am waiting until tomorrow; it is currently at 134.9/ltr right now. Yah, I am not happy! I come home, and I grab the laundry from the dryer, and I talk with our neighbours for a few minutes.
6:00; I finish dinner; I find an potato from the other day, slice it up, and I also start my Stove Top Stuffing; put some veggies in the oven (topped with some Sipology spices), and I make my bagged President's Choice Kale Slaw salad (complete with some Fresh Gourmet Wonton Strips for crunch!), and I add some final Epicure spices to my salad and potato. I check my chicken, but I am weird about cooking it really well, so I put it back in, and I eat my salad, topped with Kraft Peppercorn Ranch Dressing. I eat dinner, while I watch Jamie Oliver, and then I watch and episode of This Is Us (did anyone else find it boring??). I think I call my Mom somewhere in there :)
8:00; I clean up dinner (but I leave the dishes for the next day, b/c I am not crazy!), and I start working on swapping over my accordion file, when my brother tells (I had asked him if he wanted me to come over earlier that evening, and it was getting late, so I wanted to know if it was ok for me to still come over) to come over. I move things off the bed on to the floor, and I head on over to his house.
8:30-11:00; We watch Big Bang, and we talk a bit how is packing is coming. I ended up bringing over Float popsicles (I had bought them earlier this week, and they are really good...they are basically floats on a stick!). We skip a couple of episodes, so I leave actually earlier than I did last night.
11:00; I come home, and Anker is in bed. I have a quick shower. I just started a new shampoo and conditioner from Dove for my hair that I am sure is damaged); for soap, I used Simply Naked soap bar -cranberry-which I love, and I put some BioTherm night cream (I got a sample from Shoppers Drug Mart...yes, I go there a lot!), and then bring my laptop and headphones (which I don't end up using; I like the quiet sometimes) out into the living room to blog. I am actually on the couch as I am tying this. I had to move things around on the couch, so I could sit down! It is a little cluttered sometimes, tanks to Anker spending his time out here. Calico is actually VERY confused as to why Anker is sleeping, and I am still out in the living room! She has her routines, just like we do! She knows that Mom is usually in bed with Dad right now.
11:30-1:00 (am); I read a few blog posts from the many blogs I follow; I open up a can of Bubly Sparkling Water (my 2nd one of the day), and start on tomorrow's (well, today's now) blog post, and I continue on with this one. I also find March's Photo A Day Prompts on Fat Mumslim, and I get mildly excited :) I read a few more blogs; I do some devotions (I have used You Version Bible App for a few years now, and I love it) I am doing a million devotions...tonight, I started on one called "21 Ways to Thrive Before 45"; which I think is very fitting for right now in my life!!..and stare into space..realizing that I should get to bed :)
1:00; go link-crazy :) Gotta post allll the links to the products I used today, cause, you know, in case I get called up to work with them!!! I also get obsessed with telling about every little detail (partly why I get so tired of blogging,..I get sooo obsessed with how much to blog about, then I end up blogging too much!
1:10; do my bed time routine, go to bed :) I will probably spend a few minutes on my phone when I get into bed:)
1:30; I am finally getting into bed. I turned on my Simply Essentials oil diffuser, and I put in Buhbli Organics EO; Frankincense, and I turn on my fan, brushed my teeth (I am currently using A&H toothpaste), took my meds and vitamins, and now I am hopping into bed :) I usually put on my EOS Lip Balm, and my Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion for my hands.
I hope you enjoyed my A Day in the Life post :)
I took about 50 photos of the day, and I only put a few on here, partly b/c I don't want to spend the time throwing them on here, and partly b/c some of them didn't turn out well (blurry, etc), and partly b/c I don't think anyone wants to see every.single.one of my photos!
