I have always wanted to tell you, or show you rather, what my days look like, one hour at a time. My days are always different because of my class schedule. Sometimes I am lecturing in the morning and sometimes I’m lecturing at 9 pm, so things shift from day to day, and no 2 days are the same within a week. But I think if I just highlight one particular day you will get the idea of what I’m doing on a daily basis. So this is what a typical Wednesday looks like for me:
6:00 AM
I’ve already been up for about an hour, but I’ve been in bed snuggling with the puppies and checking my email. Really I’m just praying for another snow day.
7:00 AM
I don’t normally have pancakes for breakfast but these were left over from the snowday yesterday. So pancakes it is, with my morning tea and devotion time.
8:00 AM
I’m wrapped up pretty warm this morning and about to walk out the door for my morning commute; Wednesdays only take me about 20 minutes to get to work. Notice, I’m rockin’ a topsy-tail this morning ;-)
9:00 AM
I’m at work chugging the homemade fruit smoothie I brought from home while I check emails. Today I’m having bananas, strawberry, and soy milk.
10:00 AM
I only have one lecture on Wednesdays, Experimental Psychology. I’m here before the students so that I can set up the projector for class. Time to mold some minds!
11:00 AM
The students are working on an activity while I take attendance. I don’t normally sit to lecture, but because of my pelvic rest, I do sit to lecture now and this is my trusty chair.
12:00 PM
Class is over and I’m starving. This is what I have for lunch everyday: tomato and basil hummus with cucumbers and tomatoes, tomatoes and cottage cheese, and an apple with string cheese. I also usually have peanut butter and crackers but I ate those before I took the picture (oops!).
1:00 PM
Time to check more emails, do some paperwork around the office, and prep for classes tomorrow.
2:00 PM
To miss traffic, I left work a little bit earlier than I normally would so that I could drop the Mr.'s shoes off at the hospital. This is their 3rd visit, so hopefully the third time is a charm. This is one of the awesome things about my job: having a flexible schedule where I can run these types of quick errands during the week.
3:00 PM
We've got smallgroup tonight, and it's our week to lead discussion, so I've got to read our chapter! Tonight we're talking about Chapter 7: The Sacred History of Our Marriage. This is an awesome book to read with your spouse; I highly recommend it!
4:00 PM
Taking notes and formulating discussion questions for this evening.
5:00 PM
I have a few minutes before I need to start dinner so I'm doing a little bit of blog writing and reading; I gotta squeeze it in when I can :-)
6:00 PM
Pulling left-over spaghetti out of the fridge for dinner tonight before smallgroup. The Mr. isn’t home yet, so we need something that we can have fast before running out the door. I always cook a big meal on Tuesdays so that we can have those leftovers on Wednesdays before church.
7:00 PM
At church and we need some coffee if we’re going to make it through the evening.
8:00 PM
We had smallgroup and prayer time (no pictures during this time obviously), but here is my prayer journal that I use for smallgroup.
9:00 PM
We just got home and the high heels finally came off. My tootsies are being swaddled in my house shoes.
10:00 PM
I have a feeling I’m about to pass out on the couch, so I better get this last picture for you before the day is officially completed :-)
Well that is a typical Wednesday for me. Though I think I should probably do this everyday of the week so that you could see how each day is so vastly different lol
Happy Hump Day all!!!
