morning // I wake up at 5:30, take Dutch on a walk, and then head to the gym for a quick 30-minute workout on the elliptical. Best way to start my day! I go home, take a shower, and then get ready for the day while listening to Slate’s Serial Spoiler Specials podcast. I don’t always agree with their commentary, but it’s a fairly good podcast this week. At work, I have a busy day ahead and only 3.5 hours in which to do it. I write a page of content, and then read over the pages I wrote yesterday and send those pages to a coworker for her to proof. Next, I read over edits I received on some other pages I wrote for a client, make changes, and send the content to the client for approval. Then, I have a short meeting with my manager to discuss my client load for the upcoming month (it’s going to be a doozy!). After that, I edit pages for a coworker and send them back to him. Done with work for the day! Wahoo!
afternoon // I stay late at work to help decorate a coworker’s cubicle for his birthday and then convince my work BFF to stop working for the day and go out to lunch with me. She accepts and we have a yummy lunch at Bahama Breeze! It’s a beautiful day, so we sit outside on the deck. With the sunny weather, ocean view, and island music, it’s hard to believe it’s only a few days before Thanksgiving. After lunch, I bid my friend goodbye and head on home, where I indulge in a wonderful 2.5-hour nap. I love Fridays!
night // After waking up from our nap, Dutch and I go for a walk and then I read for a little bit on the couch. Eventually, I tear myself away from the book to clean my bathroom. My mom comes home from work, and we talked for a while about our days before ordering pizza for dinner and settling in for a night of TV watching! Our DVR is a bit out of control (which is why I’m happy for winter finales for all my shows – I can catch up!). We watched Gotham, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, The Biggest Loser, and The McCarthy’s. We weren’t messing around! Regarding Scandal and HTGAWM – oh. em. GEE. Those winter finales were CRAZY! I can’t remember how many times I said, “OH MY GOD!” while watching HTGAWM. Ahhhh. Ok. Anyway. After our little TV-watching binge, we clean up, say goodnight, and then I take Dutch on a quick walk outside (to ensure he doesn’t wake me up at 6am whining to go out!), do my nightly routine, read for a bit, and it’s lights out at 11:00. Wild and crazy Friday night, I know!
Thoughts on the Scandal and HTGAWM finales? Do you love taking naps, or do they just make you feel loopy?
That is so awesome that you get to work half days on Fridays! I’ve always been so jealous of that. 😉
Hope you have an awesome weekend. My DVR is out of control too and I just got it less than two weeks ago – haha! They don’t hold enough!
I don’t watch Scandal OR HTGAWM … don’t judge! 😉
Naps can either make me feel GREAT or just awful. Lately they’ve been making me feel worse, and then they make it hard for me to fall asleep at night. I’ve been opting to just chill out in bed and watch Gilmore Girls on Netflix instead of snoozing. My body and mind can relax for a little bit, and I can still fall asleep OK come bedtime.
Oh, I love naps! They feel so luxurious. I should really take them more often.
OH MY GOD, HTGAWM. The ending blew. my. mind. I just can’t get enough of the show. I have no idea how I’m going to wait until almost February for new episodes.
I haven’t seen either of those shows – and actually I’ve never heard of HTGAWM! But I pretty much only watch 2 TV shows right now so I am not clued in on what is popular!
I don’t sleep well at night, so naps don’t work for me as they make it even harder for me to sleep! There are definitely times when I wish I could take them, though!
