Day 5 - Teachers are eligible for the vaccine.

Dinner at B’s….

3/6/21. Friday

9:30 – 10:30 - Awake, but I stay in bed and listen to The Daily.

10:30-11:00 – I go downstairs to greet the animal, but she is nowhere to be found.  It’s so nice and quiet when she’s outside…I don’t even call her.  Too late – she bursts through the doggie door, excited to see me, and we go outside.  She pooped in two places on the patio – great.  I clean it up while she goes potty.  Back inside for her treat (chicken) and my coffee.

-I unload the dishwasher.

11:00-12:30 – Upstairs and I read The Hangover Games.  At page 80, I can’t take it anymore and deem the book “over.”  The author is a transplanted ‘Brit’, employed as a “Hollywood journalist”, who is interviewing actors and partying in LA when she gets pregnant.  Each chapter feels like reading a stand-up comedy script, except it’s bad stand-up.  Maybe it’s me, but I just can’t relate to someone who keeps using the word “arse.”

I switch to In the Shadow of the Valley.  That’s more like it!

12:30-1:30 – I put a few things in the car then pack an overnight bag.  I hang and fold my laundry while listening to Martinis and Your Money.

-L is in a Zoom lecture and I talk to her for a bit.

1:30-2:00 – I have a few apple slices and almond butter, then change into workout attire. I listen to Fresh Air.

2:00-2:45 – Another Insanity workout [it’s called the Pylometric Cardio Circuit]. Although I try really hard, I have to stop a couple of times to drink water and catch my breath.   Total work-out time is around 30 minutes.

2:45-3:45 – I color my hair.  I start a blog post while the color sits.

3:45-5:30 – Shower. Spa day. Lotion. Blow-dry hair. Make-up. Crest strips. I put on black yoga pants and a long, button-up, form fitting shirt. I listen to What a Day and Air Talk. BTW – Where is Larry Mantle this past week? [my favorite talk-show host]. Usually, he informs the audience when he’s going to be out.  I hope he’s okay…

5:30-6:20 – I finish my blog post, tidy my room, and bring my overnight bag downstairs. I leave for B.’s house.

6:45 – 7:30 - At B.’s house for Cocktail Hour!!!  We sit and talk politics.

7:30-8:30 – Dinner is salmon, baked potato, and a mozarella caprese salad.

8:30-10:00 – B. and I finish dinner. More politics.

10:30-11:30 – I read In the Shadow of the Valley. This is a really great book.

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