Thanks to a wonderful husband and
a coffee maker on a timer, I start my morning slowly. Usually I have time to read for half an hour
with the local news as background on the TV.
Did that broken fire hydrant in
Escondido wash my daughter away? Has it
really been raining in Portland every day since we left? That sort of thing. Car wrecks, blocked freeways…that kind of
disaster also catches my sense of humor in this car centric household.
From about 0610, I’m here at my
computer posting to the Discovery shop Facebook account and posting a B&W
shot to my Facebook account. I’m really
enjoying the B&W work. Then I am off
to the pool. Yes, I am really trying to
get there just before 0700. I walk
enthusiastically, taking up a whole lane, for half an hour, join the aerobics
class for twenty minutes, then do my stretches in the hot tub until 0800. Not enough.
I write and read and do blog
things till lunch…tho I promised myself I’d be done by 0930. Sometimes, like today, I jack hammered a
doctor’s appointment in there too. I’m
still doing all those yearly doctor’s appointment things as are several other
friends. We moaned and groaned about
this last night. And laughed.
What do you do with your mornings.?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Feed the cats is the first thing, right out of bed. Then all the mundane morning chores. Terry makes the coffee so when it's finished I pour a cup and read the newspaper online plus all the other social media to which I'm connected. Depending on where I have to be that day, I may read until 9:30 or so and then make myself ready to go out. Usually though, I do my exercises by 8, get my face on, get dressed and am out the door by 9. If I've nowhere to go, I do laundry, write a blog post, journal, work in the yard, and maybe even dust (did that this morning before walking out the door at 9:40 for all sorts of errands around town.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to you in many ways, though walking instead of pool. Volunteer work some mornings. We always cook our main meal of the day for noon however, so it takes some time every morning. I do blog work in the morning too. If the grandkids are around, everything is flexible!
ReplyDeleteI try to get up before 6 am. Try! Have coffee, read news. Then often I go to the grocery early, I eat a lot of fresh stuff so I'm there several times a week, nothing seems to keep long. But early no lines and little traffic. What a bore I am. This morning no coffee and no milk. So I also go to get stuff I forgot even with a list:-) Then I clean me and some of my home sweet home.
ReplyDeleteMy mornings are reading the digital NYT, reading digital New Yorker articles, reading blogs, reading emails and then listening to CNN for an hour. That takes from 7:00 until about 9:30. Then if I am good I will do free weights for 30 minutes, or fill bird feeders, or make a list for errands to run.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on a coffee maker with a timer.
ReplyDeleteAfter feeding and walking the dog, feeding myself and taking a walk--I really have no set schedule. I kind of go with the flow on what I feel like doing.
ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time on the computer reading, writing, posting photos, editing photos etc.
