So, blog readers, I have decided to be something that I have not been in quite some time when it comes to this blog, and that is consistent. As a matter of fact, I have committed myself to a consistent schedule when I am at work. I would like to do the same thing at home, but my son pretty much has reign of the clock there, and therefore my time. And while at work, I need to feel in control of something.
So here’s my routine in a nutshell. Arrive in the morning, cup of 7-11 blueberry-flavored coffee in hand. Log onto computer. Cut on heater; put on sweater. Shoot the breeze with partner in crime and find out what’s on the day’s agenda. Perform said actions as relates to work. At hourly intervals, take a five-minute break to tone and strengthen arms. Around lunchtime, go over textbooks for the fall with the goal of completing at least one chapter per day; this will in turn make it easier for me to develop my syllabi and writing assignments for the semester. After about an hour of this, continue working and make sure I get a cup of hot water and/or hot tea. Late afternoon, go to front counter with leisure reading while I wait on patrons. Prepare to leave by grabbing my purse, makeup bag, doing a key check and a cell phone check. Turn off heater. Remove sweater.
On Thursdays, this routine is about the same, but instead of leisure reading, I’ll replace it with write a blog. I’m actually imposing my own weekly deadline of 4:00 pm. I’m proud of myself because today I looked at the calendar and actually remembered to start before my first warning went off at 3:00. So this little ditty will be posted earlier. Yay for technology.
Keep your fingers crossed, gentle readers, that I can keep this up.
