Day 31 of Governor Newsom’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy”

Sunday. 9/27/20

7:30-9:00 – I wake up plagued by stomach cramps. I take Advil and go downstairs to let the dog out.  She goes potty and we go back inside for cheese. I make coffee and return upstairs to lay down with the heating pad.  It’s my period. I listen to Reveal – Catching Amazon in a Lie.

10:00-11:00 – I return downstairs and make coffee.  Back upstairs to lie down and read a Money Diary. Accomplishing nothing today.

11:00-12:00 – There is no food in the house and nothing to eat.  I have a small piece of chocolate, then sit in the shower, waiting for my cramps to subside. I listen to Today Explained.

L. leaves for coffee with another friend.

12:00-1:30 – I have a coupon for an acai bowel so drive to Robeks to redeem it.  Unfortunately, my Garmin misdirects me and I end up on the freeway going back the way I came.  I finally arrive and, once there, order the bowl, then try to find a park I haven’t visited before so I can eat my breakfast. I listen to AirTalk.

1:30-2:00 – My cramps are so bad that I pull into a middle school parking lot and sit in one of the spaces, waiting for them to subside enough so I can drive home.  I’m able to eat some of the acai bowl.

2:00-2:30 – Home and I go upstairs to lie down. I listen to the Global News Podcast.

2:30-5:00 – I take a nap and sleep off and on.

5:00-7:00 – More Advil and downstairs to do class prep for my 2:30 class tomorrow. I pull the PP slides for tomorrow’s class and compare to lecture, making changes when necessary.

7:00-7:30 – I take the dog for a walk.

7:30-9:00 – I select musical clips for various points in lecture and get them ready to deploy.

9:30 – I have cheese and crackers for dinner. Not hungry.

10:00-11:30 – I record Lecture and the Public Announcement.  Then, L. airdrops them into Canvas for me.

11:30–12:30 – I have to get another workout in so I do a combo Pilates/Yoga 40-minute app.

12:30-1:00 – I prepare the Discussion Board prompt for tomorrow’s class and ensure that course content is ready.

1:00-2:00 – I make a grocery list for L., straighten the kitchen, and take my trash cans out.  I turn off all interior and exterior Halloween lights.

2:00-3:00 – Nighttime routine and bed.
