6:50 I make a quick breakfast for my partner, and then I put my feet up and scroll social media for a bit.
7:00 I pack Diana's bags and make her beverages for the day while she showers. Today I'm fast, so I sit back down to peruse my socials some more, hopping up at 7:20 to start the car with the remote so that it can begin defrosting that snow!
7:30 I put on mittens and head outside to clear the snow from the car and our front steps. Diana leaves for work around 7:45.
7:50 I head for the shower. My nightgowns (I was wearing two 'cause of the weather) were soaked and cold! I put on lotion and warm clothing.
8:10 Time to make my breakfast: banana with yogurt and cinnamon, a piece of walnut raisin toasts, and a large mug of coffee with a little light cream. I eat breakfast at my computer while working on our family's budget, checking our calendar, and taking a peek at the weather forecast. I also run through my email. I am a zero-inbox sort of person. There is some spam to report today. Also, it is suppose to be a low of 20 Fahrenheit tonight! Brrr!!!
8:55 Time to brush the teefies. I pause in the kitchen, enjoying the sight of so many dark-eyed juncos frolicking in the snow and one cheeky gray squirrel trying to empty the feeder!
9:00 I'm still cold from the car clearing, so I decide to spend some time reading under the covers before tackling my morning chores. I remember that I finished the novel Ghosted by Rosie Walsh last night, so I enter that into my records at Goodreads before moving onto starting a new read. Ghosted was an enjoyable story. I, for the most part, liked how it was written. The only downside was some believability issues that occasionally pulled me out of the narrative. My new read is Intermezzo by Sally Rooney.
9:55 Better get my morning chores done before it isn't morning anymore.
10:25 My morning chores are done. Moving onto reading a section in my slow read book: Wolf Hall.
10:45 Slow read done for the day, and time to get a snack. Chooses apples and walnuts. While eating my snack, I play a couple of games on my cellphone.
11:30 Now, I really feel like I'd like to go for a walk, but it is snowy, cold, and wet out there. Although it would make me feel good inside, I'll just do some indoor exercise instead.
11:55 I am exercised out! As part of my exercise, I got up and down off the floor 10 times. That is definitely a challenge for me and sort of boring, but I know it helps me get stronger. I have plenty of time before lunch, so I am going to shop for a new toothbrush for me. Success! One is added to my shopping cart for purchase later this week.
12:25 I really am feeling tired again. I think it's back to reading under the covers or maybe playing a game. I chose to read another chapter of Intermezzo.
1:15 Lunch!
And now comes the point where I might not record anything because I am exhausted and antsy. We shall see!
2:15 I washed the dishes and did a quick house pickup.
2:30 Played Marble Master
2:50 Worked on plans for weekend trip
3:45 Snack Time
And...I'm not sure what I did for a bit then...but I have prepped dinner, and part of it is baking in the oven now! I also have sun streaming in my window, which is absolutely gorgeous after the snowy day I've survived.
The squirrel sure did empty the feeders!
