Day 12 - Governor Newsom imposes new restrictions

Thanksgiving leftovers…

Friday. 11/27/20

9:00-9:30 – No class today since it’s part of the Thanksgiving holiday.  Thank God. I go downstairs and say good morning to the dog. She grabs her toy and we go outside together. The dog poops and is ready to go inside.  Another one of her quirks is that she won’t do No. 1 and No. 2 together – nobody understands this.  If the dog poops in the yard, she is just as likely to run inside and pee, so I have to do a “repeat”, like this: “Hey girl.  Let’s go outside and go potty.” We go outside and she poops. “Good girl!” and we go inside.  Then, immediately, “Hey girl.  Let’s go outside and go potty.” Back outside we go so she can pee. Back inside, bacon for her and hot lemon water for me.

9:30 – 12:00 - I go upstairs and get started on the papers for Specialty Class No. 1, due on Monday.

12:00 – 12:30 - I make a strawberry, avocado, almond butter smoothie and take it upstairs. I read a Money Diary.

12:30-3:30 – Grade papers. I listen to Slates Political Gabfest. I’m faster if I grade papers in complete silence. The only downside is I’m grading papers “in complete silence.” I have carrot sticks and hummus.

3:30- 4:30 - Shower. Self-care spa day for me.  I listen to the NY Times 10-best books of 2020. So far, I have two of them in the box of books my Mom gave me!

4:30 - 5:00 - I do a 30-min cardio work-out app. I put my headphones on and continue listening to the NY Times Best Books while I work out.

5:00-5:45 - After, I put on my Covid-19 uniform.  Make-up. I pack my overnight bag and load up the car.

5:45-6:30 - I make two plates for B. and I. with the leftovers from Thanksgiving.

6:30-7:00 - Leave for B.’s - driving

7:00-11:30 - At B.’s and we have dinner and drinks and talk politics. He made a broccoli salad so it’s a nice addition to the leftovers. Everything tastes great!

11:30 - 12:00 - Night time routine. Bed.
