It’s been a little while since I did Snapshot of My Day, so I decided to do this yesterday. I haven’t done this exercise on a weekend day, so it was a fun one to document. Post idea and prompts from Torrie!
Time I woke up: 9:30 a.m. Glorious!
First thing I did upon waking: I took the dogs out for a morning pee. (I stayed over at my mom’s this weekend to watch the dogs while my mom and stepdad took a mini-vacation.) Chip enjoyed running around the yard, barking, while Lucy just wanted me to pick her up and let her kiss all over my face. She’s very kissy in the morning!
Today’s weather: Ugh, so hot! The high was 96F and with the heat index, it was easily over 105F today. I hate August in Florida.
Something I spent money on today: Groceries! Such a fun purchase, eh? I opted for grocery delivery, which always makes me feel so lazy (as a single person who can absolutely go to the grocery store on her own; I understand why it’s a godsend for other people!), but I had a lot to restock and I always hate carrying so many bags of groceries up three floors. No thanks!
An out-of-the-ordinary thing that happened today: I woke up at my mom’s house, instead of my apartment! I always stay over at her place when I watch the dogs because my cats would not be too keen to have two rambunctious dachshunds running around and playing with their toys!
Last thing I read (not on the Internet): Home Before Dark by Riley Sager. I’m loving this spooky ghost story!
Last thing I read (on the Internet): One of my e-newsletters. It was Crooked Media’s What a Day newsletter that they send out every evening Mon-Fri.
Last text I sent: “Works for me!” to Bri and Amber. We’re going to have a Zoom date this week to go over our plans for our Labor Day getaway!
Last text I received: A realllllly cute video my mom found of Lucy when she was just a few weeks old. She’s so wee!
Last website I visited: My blog to respond to a comment!
Last show I watched: Big Brother.
Last thing I said: “Bye!” My mom Facetimed me a few minutes ago to chat about a few things.
Last thing I ate: Pizzzzzza. Screamin’ Sicilian’s Holy Pepperoni pizza is my holy grail of frozen pizza these days.
What I was doing an hour ago: I was tidying up my apartment before sitting down to paint my nails.
What I will be doing an hour from now: I will either be reading in bed, trying to finish up the YA romance I’ve been reading this week (no, I will not be reading the spooky ghost story before bed!), or listening to ASMR videos on Youtube while I drift off to sleep.
Current whereabouts of other members of my household: Eloise is curled up on the couch, asleep, and Lila is sitting on my TV stand, staring at the door, which is right next to my TV stand. It’s a little creepy, can’t lie.
One thing I crossed off my to-do list today: I mopped the floors! I love the feeling of freshly mopped floors, but I don’t mop them nearly as much as I should. Ah, well.
Lila hates when I run the Roomba. She hides behind one of my monitors on my desk, and stares at me like this.
These are always such fun posts! How fun that you got to hang out with dogs and cats today – it’s a win-win!
(Poor sad Lila. She’s so scared.)
She was so scared, poor girl! She likes to hide under the couch when I vacuum, but it’s not the best place to be with a robot vacuum. I’m glad she found a safe space on my desk when I get the robot out!
I saw the first picture and was like….wait, whuuuut? I thought you’d gotten super brave and decided to get two dogs of your own, lol. I’m sure the cats are relieved that isn’t the case!
When we lived in our apartment, we only had ONE flight of stairs, and it was definitely enough…I can only imagine how much fun moving was for you 😉
The cats would be so mad at me if I got two dogs! Haha.
Ugh, moving was the WORST to this third-floor apartment because we don’t have elevators. I am definitely hiring movers for my next move.
I hated grocery shopping when I lived in apartments/condos. I would practically kill myself trying to carry ALL THE BAGS in one trip to save myself from taking multiple trips – even when I had easy access to an elevator! So I totally understand the appeal of grocery delivery. I assume they bring them up to your door? Phil does our grocery shopping and parks out front to unload the bags. He started to grocery shop after I went back to work after having Paul. I wanted extra time with Paul. Now I think he sort of has the better deal – grocery shopping alone sounds more relaxing/enjoyable than being w/ our 2 young kids, as awful as that sounds!! 😛
Yes, they drop it off right at my front door! It’s so, so convenient (even though I always feel bad for the grocery deliverer!) I always have to give myself 5 minutes to catch my breath after carrying allllll of the bags up the stairs. It’s a lot!
Always love getting a random glimpse into your life like that. How fun you got to dog-sit at your mom’s! 🙂 Can you believe I have yet to try out grocery delivery? I didn’t try it even at the height of the pandemic. I guess I enjoy grocery shopping too much (although standing a line was a weird experience!).
It actually doesn’t surprise me that you haven’t tried out grocery delivery. I know how much you love to grocery shop! 🙂
I love this window into your day – and a wonderful day, at that! Doggie kisses in the morning, kitty time in the evening, clean floors, AND a grocery delivery? Sounds like a win all around. I have done grocery pick up but not delivery – as my apartment has a controlled front door, I suspect they’d leave it in the little vestibule – which would not be cool! 🙂 Thanks for sharing all of this. <3
