Routines

 

Every day, I wake up basically at the same time, even though I am retired, which is about an hour or so later after I would have awoken had I been working.  My waking time is around 7:30 - 8:30 am.  

I then given the cats their morning treat, dress, take my thyroid pill, make coffee, clean out the litter box and start watching Fox news which I watch until about 10:00 am.  during that time, I am working on my blogs, preparing them for the next day, and posting current information.

Breakfast comes next, followed by the ten pills I take each morning.  My breakfast can be raisin bran cereal and milk, or frozen waffles heated and Strawberry Jelly, or scrambled eggs, vege sausage, and instant grits.  However, the latter meal causes me more time and more dishes to wash.

Right now, it is really close to noon, so I begin any inside work or outside work that i need to accomplish depending upon the weather conditions outside.  These chores and/or tasks might take me 1-3 hours...  The rest of the afternoon and early evening is spend researching and writing on whatever novel is currently in progress.

While writing on my novel, I may take an hour or two break by watching 1-2 episodes of a BBC Series.  I tend to prefer BBC over American series for some reason, and it is not just the acting...  there is just something different that I like about them...  maybe they are more real.

This activity takes me to around 8:00 pm and for the next hour or two, I surf various social media forums like facebook, truth social, x, bluesky, and global news on google.

This routine is always interrupted by:

• Grocery shopping
• doctor appointments
• medical exams
• visits by neighbors
• window shopping
• haircuts
• going out to eat
