Day 40 - LA County enters yellow tier
Packing for Tiburon…
6/11/21. Friday.
8:00 – 8:45 - My alarm goes off, but I lie in bed for 30 minutes of transition time. Up and I go downstairs to say good morning to the dog but she’s still sleeping. I rub her tummy three times, she grabs her toy, and we go outside. I note that she pooped on the patio so I clean it up (sigh). The dog goes potty and we return inside: pepper-jack cheese for her; coffee for me. I go upstairs. I weigh 97.5 today.
8:45-10:00 – I sit in the shower, with my coffee, and listen to Martinis and Your Money. I’ve been a little sleep-deprived this week. Lotion. Summer top with spaghetti straps that L. gave me, yoga pants, and flip-flops. Light make-up.
10:00 – 2:30 - B. arrives with a croissant and coffee for me. He takes pictures of the broken air conditioning vent so he can show his contractor and replaces a washer in my hose. After, we have patio coffee and talk politics.
B. leaves
2:30-3:30 – I absolutely have to check email from College No. 2, since I haven’t looked at it in days. This week is Final’s week so I check to see if there are any glitches on Canvas. Several students have already taken the Final and it seems to be going well. No emails of consequence.
3:30-4:30 – I have the rice/quinoa/garbanzo bean blend that I made a few days ago for lunch/dinner and read Women’s Work.
-L. leaves for work.
4:30 – 6:30 - I’m running on virtually no sleep and I desperately need a nap so I take one.
6:30-8:00 – Awake and I feel much better. I pull down my suitcase and start packing for the upcoming Tiburon trip, making lists along the way.
L. returns from work and we talk about her day.
8:00-8:45 – I take the dog for a walk and bring my flashlight. I listen to NPR Politics.
8:45 – 11:30 – I make the executive decision NOT to exercise tonight. I drink champagne and catch up on blog posts instead, while intermittently adding items to my suitcase and things to my list involving next week’s beach trip, as my mind flits from idea to idea.
11:30-12:30 – I read Women’s Work.
12:30-2:30 – Downstairs in my office and I continue listing my monthly expenditures for the last 6 months.
Finished! and now I’m finally able to start calculating the category totals and posting to my spreadsheet. I post January-March totals.
2:30-3:00 – Kitchen duty and I ready my coffee for tomorrow. Take the dog out. Lock up.
3:00-4:00 – Night time routine. Bed.
