I was thinking about Chicken Lady's dilemma with her current situation. And I thought maybe if we shared parts of our own lives, it might help her gain some perspective on hers. And it would be a fun thing to do for it's own sake. Sharing a day in the life of a regular person who seeks a simple life... whether we've achieved it or not. Since it's anonymous, we can be honest, no need to curate/gloss/embellish.
I'll start it off and see if there's interest. If not, then the thread will just die a natural death.
A day in my life: Friday, July 28th
7:14 am, get up, it's later than I'd like but last night I didn't get to bed till 11 pm
Walk with the dogs - 2 miles
Give med to dog and treats after
Go out to breakfast - make to do list for fri/sat/sun, bring leftovers home
Put bed sheets into the washer
Apply flea meds to the 3 pets
Request City service for neighborhood issue
Take food out of the freezer for dinner
Quick email to family member and friend
Pick up after pets
20 min play session with the pets (even the cat got in on the action!)
Put sheets back on the bed, pick up house in prep for cleaning
Clean house - thoroughly - 5 hrs - might do a separate post about this (eat breakfast leftovers for lunch)
4:30 pm - Gym - 75 mins, swim laps and jacuzzi
Feed pets when I get home
Shower
Eat dinner - from batch cooking - beef tacos and spanish rice
Post on Simple Living to keep myself awake - it's 7:50 p.m., too late for a nap and too early for bed
Later I will wash up after dinner (Dh working late), wipe down kitchen counters, prep coffee maker for tomorrow, give dog her meds, get ready for bed, and pass out! I forgot - I'm trying out the Crest Whitening strips and will pop those in for 30 minutes at some point.
