A Late Spring Day in the Life
I picked last Thursday, June 11th to document my DITL post. I thought it was going to be a pretty lazy, low key day with only "clean the basement" "pick strawberries" and "bake Evan's cupcakes" on my to do list but it ended up being a really busy day.
I was up at 4:45 and laid in bed finishing up my latest novel. Then I got up and got dressed. By 6:00, I was ready for the day and sat down to do a bit of blogging.
6:30 I did some laundry and pulled out food for dinner before starting to make my BBQ macaroni salad. Then wrote up my grocery list.
7:00-7:30 I ate breakfast and read my next book.
7:30-8:30 I brushed my teeth, switched the laundry and started load 2 of the day before rearranging the basement room and cleaning the whole thing top to bottom.
8:30 Sat back down to read until Alec was ready to go strawberry picking.
9-10:30 strawberry picking with Alec.
10:30-11:30 more laundry, started the dishwasher, watered the lawn where we planted new grass seed, then started making Evan's graduation cupcakes.
11:30-12:00-- baked the cupcakes and taught Alec how to make copies with our printer (so he could copy his license and passport for his trip)
12:00-1:30 went grocery shopping with Alec.
1:30-2:30 put away the groceries, made a giant salad to last a few days, cut up fruit for 1/2 the week. Started the dishwasher for the second time. Switched the laundry around one final time.
2:45-- ate a late lunch/snack to hold me over until dinner.
3:00-- double checked Alec's packing and helped him find a few last minute pieces he was looking for.
3:30-5:00-- went next door to my parents camper and visited with them.
5:30 set the table, cooked dinner, kept my husband company while he grilled.
6:00-6:30 ate dinner
6:30-7:00 watched TV with the family
7:00-8:00 joined Evan for a zoom orientation information session for his college (though we didn't really learn anything new as it reiterated a lot of what was said at both open house and accepted student day).
8:00-9:00 watched TV and did a bit of blogging (mostly writing this post!).

Fun post to read! Curious minds want to know how others spend their time, lol!! I am really impressed with how spotless your muffin pan is after you poured the batter in. My pan is always smeared with batter and does not look pristine. The strawberries look great! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteIt was! I enjoy seeing these! You did have a really busy day. I was impressed by how fast you cleaned the basement. The strawberries look so good! What did you think of Mile High Club - I DNF'ed it but had read about 3/4 of it.
ReplyDeletesounds like a good day!
