what's a typical day like for you??

[Laterider21958]

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

During the week my schedule is like this:

415am out of bed (I work at 630 tues,wed, fri), do the toilet stop, wash my face, get my cycling clothing on and out the door by 5am. Get to work, shower & have brekkie. I finish work at 3pm & i'm on my bike doing some sort of long ride by about 330pm(to cure the boredom from doing a pointless & useless job. Yes, i'm the process of finding a new one) Get home about 630pm and play with Yukon, make dinner (that's if it was Ian's turn the previous night) and then wander on the computer or read a book.

Monday & Thursday-up at the same time but this time I leave at 5am to drive to the pool for our group swimming session. It's a 1/2hr drive from my house if yóu're wondering..

I'm normally in bed by about 830pm.

Weekends-they're now saved for moutain biking.
