Day 38 - Governor Newsom imposes new restrictions

Still compiling my annual expenditures…

12/23/20. Wednesday.

8:30 – 9:30 - I’m up and I take a shower. Lotion. Light make-up.  Covid-19 winter uniform. I listen to The Daily and Up First.

9:30 – 10:30 - Downstairs and I rub the dog’s tummy three times.  Outside we go and she runs around the yard, tracking…something???  Probably that rat.  It’s hard getting her to go potty this morning.  She finally does her business and we come inside for coffee and treats. I water a few of my plants outside, then unload the dishwasher.  I also turn on all of the Xmas lights.

10:30 – 11:30 - B. said he would stop by around 11:00 to drop off a gift basket for my parents.  In the interim, I dust my office; class is starting soon and I like to have a clean office at the beginning of each semester. 

11:30-2:30 – B. arrives with the basket and I make a cup of coffee for him. We talk politics and then he is on his way.

2:30-6:30 – I have a salad then work on my budget. More personal admin as I continue logging expenditures into my budget logs for the previous months. I listen to True Crime Garage, Afford Anything, 365 Organize, the New Corner Office, and PBS News Hour segments.

6:30-7:30 – I read a Money Diary and have Chicken Chili.

7:30-10:30 – I write a few blog posts. I’m a little behind.

10:30-11:30 – L. is home and I catch up with her regarding her winter intersession classes that are starting soon.

11:30 – 12:30 – I’m delaying the inevitable.  I don’t want to do a workout, BUT I absolutely have to do a workout. I’m stalling.

12:30-1:30 – I do a 1-hr HIIT full body circuit with 5-pound weights.

1:30-2:00 – Night time routine. Bed.
