A Day in My Life (Sort Of)

One of the suggested topics that popped up in my recent search for blog ideas was “a day in my life.” I laughed out loud at the thought. I can just imagine my loyal family and friend readers waiting with bated breath to learn that my biggest daily challenge is figuring out how to balance my protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Riveting stuff, I know.

We recently had guests for a couple of weeks, and let’s just say my food planning routines sent them straight around the bend. Glassy eyes and polite grimaces gave me my first clue. The second clue came in the form of a few carefully worded comments that I will spare you, dear readers. Suffice it to say, they were as polite as humanly possible. Pebbles, our guests' dog, didn’t mind a bit - she was just waiting for something to fall on the floor. She happily sampled most of the vegetables but drew the line at mixed greens. Even dogs have standards.

As for today, my “day in the life” went something like this: I got in my steps, watched Tracker on Hulu in between steps, did ten minutes on the NuStep, prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner, drank plenty of water, used the bathroom (repeatedly, hydration has its price), fed the cat, cleaned the litter box, scrubbed the entryway bathroom, washed dishes, updated financial transactions, watched Aaron Parnas updates, listened to Jim Acosta interviews, did twenty minutes of strength training (the chair version), ten minutes of stretching, snuggled with the cat, read Robert Reich and Liza Donnelly’s Substack articles, and, finally, wrote this blog.

Later tonight, I’ll read Heather Cox Richardson’s daily letter and call it a peaceful day.

Tomorrow, I’ll do most of it all over again — just with a different bathroom to clean.

So, what was the highlight of your day?
