what's a typical day like for you??

[kelownagirl]

Work (teacher), clean house (not often), spend time with son, sit out on deck and eat and drink wine with new dh, ride my bike every day, and natch, surf. A lot. No tv at all but lots of screen time none-the-less.

So how do you spend your time?

August - May : Get up early, read forums, teach, ride after work, spend time with my animals, take care of chores. Read until I fall asleep (usually only takes a page or two).

June & July: RELAX, ride, RELAX, ride some more! Read without falling asleep after a page or two, cross stitch, spend time with my animals, RELAX, visit family, RELAX!!!!!!

5:00 wake up and do yoga in the sun room for a 1/2 hour
then get the "kids" taken care of - the dogs, the cat, the DH - and have my breakfast, meds and supplements
7:10 leave for work if I'm riding, every other day; or 7:20 get a ride to work with DH
Work too hard, try to remember what my symptoms are that day to report to my various health care professionals, worry about what to eat for snacks and dinner
4:30 leave work by bike or get a ride with DH
rest for an hour or so - yes, the tv is usually on then
eat and take meds
figure out some crazy dinner that fits my diet but will still make DH happy and give us leftovers for lunch the next day
in good weather, have that nice dinner in the gazebo
do a load of laundry or two - if I have energy
tidy up the kitchen - if I have energy
shower & get my stuff ready to go to work the next day - lunch etc.
rest some more
bed between 10 and 11
usually a tv show or two while resting, but not every night
read until I fall asleep, usually a page at most.
middle of the night, up at least once, sometimes because the dogs woke me

I know, very exciting.not

It's only temporary. One day I'll know the right balance of food, drugs and exercise and then I'll ride almost every day, and do real rides, too!

Next?

collapse and mess around on computer.
repeat.
Cat care in there, but they just don't take that much time.

Wake up early - just before 6 a.m. , but don't use the early hours wisely (watch morning TV while breakfasting etc.) Feed the animals - 1 dog and 3 cats and put them out for the day. Head off to work just after 8 a.m (after doing lunches for myself and hb). Work at a pre-school until just after 2 p.m. (if I leave on time) and head off home. Reduced my hours this year from full-time but seem to go on the net after work, instead of doing leadlighting, sewing or gardening! Need to lift my game there. Try to ride to work, but when the weather is not good, or if I have to do large shop etc. I weaken and drive. After cooking and consuming the evening meal I watch the dreaded TV. Love Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Something About Brian and Boston Legal. Oh, I do watch the more intellectual programs too, only if they don't clash with the previous mentioned ones!

On the weekend I ride to the bakery for bread rolls and the newspaper (this is instead of getting the latter delivered), and then on for a more lengthy scenic ride home. This is followed by gardening and the usual necessary housework.

Interested in recycling and renewable energy. Have solar hot water and looking into installing solar power in the near future.

We don't have the last two you mentioned but the rest I enjoy also. And I'd like to add Dr House - I adore him

[iFKA]

I work 3 days per week (I'm a student) so half week is buisy and half is great

...my typical buisy day

leave the home at 7am and I go to work... at 6 pm I'm back from work and I eat something quickly and go cycling with my friend. We ride till 8pm and than I play with my dog/clean the house/make the supper till 10pm when my darling comes home frome his afternoon shift and we spend some time together ant than go to sleep.

...my typical casual day

I wake up at 8am and than I learn for about 2 hour, and after that I do housechores (is it spelled like that ) and after that I'm "playing" in the garden with my flowers and wegetables, and that relaxes me very much. Than I cook something delicious for my darling who works mornigshift so he's back at 5pm and than we enjoy the rest of the day mainly together.

I watch tv only after 8pm when I lay back with my darling after supper and I'm too tired to do anything else. We mainly watch National geografic dokumentaries and we go to sleep at 11pm
