Day 6-BA2.12.1 is the current variant

L. and I watched the documentary, Weigh Down…

5/17/22. Tuesday

5:00-5:15- Transition time. I’m exhausted and I feel like shit. It’s hard to get out of bed.

5:15-5:30- I go downstairs to greet the animal and we head outside to go potty, after she finally drags herself off the couch. I grab my coffee and head upstairs but I forget to grab a bag of ice…

5:30-6:20-so I sit in the shower without my ice pack. Lotion. Sexy Librarian attire. My Beets speaker malfunctions and it sounds like a fire alarm is going off so I jump out of the shower and try to stop this blaring noise. Finally, I’m able turn it off. I’m wide awake now, because of the adrenaline rush, which is helpful. I’m so tired I can barely function, but still manage to curl the ends of my hair.

6:20-7:40-I load my bags in the car and I’m out the door by 6:20 am. Driving and traffic is terrible - what’s new? I listen to The Daily, put my make-up on in the car, and eat old, overnight oats.

7:40-7:50-Arrive at the parking lot and I take this time to review my lecture notes.

8:00-9:30-Class is in session and it’s a straight lecture with a 20-minute podcast. I’m so exhausted that I lecture sitting in a chair at the front of the room.

9:30-9:45 - Class dismissed. Can you tell I’m on autopilot?

9:45-11:00-Driving. Traffic remains terrible. I listen to Citations Needed and eat L’s leftover Fettucine Alfredo on the way home.

11:00-11:30-I deposit a few checks and withdraw gas and therapy money from the ATM.

11:30-12:00-Home and I unload all of my bags and change into yoga pants and a tank top.

12:00-1:00-Kitchen duty. I unload the dishwasher, then finish the rest of the Fettuccine Alfredo

1:00-4:00-I take a nap.

4:00-7:00-I go to work, which means I enter my home office.

I log into Canvas at College No. 2 (my online class) and send individual emails to those students who haven’t completed the assignments or who got Ds/Fs on the assignments.

I check email at College No. 2.

7:00-9:00-I upload three blog posts.

9:00-10:00-Exhausted all over again, so I lie down and try to read Woman in the Picture. I give up instead and just listen to podcasts.

10:00-11:00-L. surfaces and we talk about The Club. L. wants to watch the Weigh Down documentary on HBO Max so;

11:00-11:40-I try to get in as much gardening as I can before we start watching. I sweep the patio, then have a few of Lexis cheetos for dinner.

11:40-1:00-L. and I watch the first episode of the Weigh Down documentary; then she goes to bed.

1:00-2:30-I’m interested in the show so I sit in my chair intending to watch the next episode but I immediately fall asleep.

3:00-3:45-Nighttime routine. Bed
