Is journaling a word? It tells me I’m spelling it wrong but doesn’t offer a corrected version. Anyway I’m still writing in my diary (2023 resolution #1), maybe not every day but at least every other day. My life is pretty boring and repetitive, which I like. Lately there has been some drama with my oldest son but otherwise my day is:
- wake up around 7:30
- brush teeth, take shower
- get dressed
- is it Wednesday? then I’m working from home, go login to work
- not Wednesday? eat some breakfast while logged into work at the kitchen table
- pack up back pack with work laptop, lunch etc.
- drive to work – no traffic = 25 minutes, shit traffic = 35-45 minutes
- work
- eat lunch around 12:30, usually a Marie Callendar’s microwaveable meal, and read a digital comic
- work some more
- can i leave early and beat the rush hour traffic? leave around 3:45-4:00
- get home and log back into work and finish out the day in home office around 5:45
- can’t leave early? leave work around 6:00-6:30 because traffic doesn’t start disbursing until after 6:00
- eat dinner while reading a digital comic. is it Taco Tuesday? Eat tacos from homemade, taco bell or taco bueno. Otherwise we eat from other fast food joints.
- catch up on TV shows via Hulu, HBO Max, Prime, Disney and YouTube TV.
- If I remember, write in journal (diary)
- go up to bed
- change into sleep clothes and brush teeth
- read book in bed – at the moment reading The Write Structure by Joe bunting (a novel writing principles book)
- go to sleep around midnight
- Repeat
So there you go, a day in the life of…. Somewhere in there I’ve been working on my novel (2023 resolution #4). The Write Structure has actually helped a bunch in organizing my idea. It’s going to take another month or so at my current rate to ge the book outlined out (I’m a Plotter) and then I’ll need to decide if I want to write it or wait until NaNoWriMo. We’ll see. I may get brave and share my premise here soon. I’ll definitely need to blog my progress.
