2021, week 10: A Day in my Life

Hello!

Welcome to a day in my life. I'll be documenting an average (but in a way not average) weekday in my life.

Thursday, March 11th

This day is not average because it is currently Spring Break! Although I don't have classes I am still working. However, I normally work the evening shift, but our hours are limited during Spring Break, so I'm working during the day.

Well, this is probably one of the least average days in my life haha! It rained yesterday and the barometric level affected my sleep last night. I usually go to be between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m., but the current weather affects my knees. Although I tried to go to sleep around 2:00 a.m. I was tossing and turning for over an hour, trying to find a position (with multiple pillows) where I wasn’t in pain. Also, my head was hurting because of the increased barometric level. So, I finally fell asleep around 4:00 a.m.

I let myself sleep half an hour longer than I’d planned, since it had taken me longer to fall asleep. I woke up with tight knees and a headache, so I started my day with a warm shower. Then, I went to work.

My job is a desk job, which is both good and bad for my knees. I live a few blocks from work, but I’m glad I left early, because it took me longer than usual to get there, since my knees were tight. About 45 minutes after arriving to work I went for a walk in the building, to try to loosen my knees. And it worked! Hallelujah!

Time crept by at work. And the weather seemed to be at a standstill. It was gloomy but didn’t rain, until it was time for me to walk home.

I went home and took a nap! Then I ate some pizza, took a shower, and settled in for some TV (Baywatch remastered and Continent 7: Antarctica).

Super simple day, but a little out of the ordinary for me.

What's your typical day look like? What are some habits or things that you look forward to?

Love,
