Something I've periodically done throughout my blog is given you insight into my daily, or even weekly, routine, and I thought I'd give that another go. This will change come August, thanks to a new lifeguarding schedule, but for the time being...
Mondays: my counseling appointments are every-other week. This is an 'other', so on those days, I get up whenever I wake up. On days I have a counseling appointment, I get up anywhere from 10, to 12, depending on whether I plan on taking a shower or not. Whether I take a shower or not (today, I did not) is entirely dependent on my mood, my mental scheduling (that is, if something disrupts the order, kiss the shower goodbye), and how badly I want to take it (that is, my willpower based off of my body telling me it needs to be washed--it does that after like 4 days, so if it's been 7-14......).
I am supposed to leave at 1:20 to make it on time. I often leave at 1:40. But that's mainly because I take 'a quick peak' (it never is) at mafia (logged off, I'm not stupid enough to log on), and then and only then, after doing that, do I brush my hair, shave, and brush my teeth. (Always in that order.) Sometimes skipping the teeth, but not often anymore, since punctuality is less important than dental hygiene.
The appointment's at 2, but I often arrive 5-10 minutes late. (See also: leaving 20 minutes late.) It's supposed to get done at 3, though that largely depends on what we talk about. Regardless, I get home at about 3:30. What I do then depends on computer availability.
Mom on desktop?
Take a nap.
Mom not on desktop?
Snatch the desktop.
Keep on it, and at around 4:50, put on headphones and bring up a window to play the livestream of The End (107.7, KNDD, the radio station I listen to), as to catch the 5 at 5. At this point, my day merges with the days like today, in that I'll stay on the computer. What I do is dependent on my mood.There's always some mafia involved (albeit decreasingly each week, rather deliberately on my part), but I can't spend all my time on mafia.
Rather, I could, but I don't. (Sometimes to the detriment of the games, though that can be debatable.) I browse through webcomics somewhat, for instance. Rain is on a hiatus for the moment (the author is about to have surgery, as in, the surgery), but I've still got daily or weekly checks on Paranatural, Awkward Zombie, Dragon Mango, and Rusty and Co. (Incidentally, all of them have risen to be tops on my new tab list, along with Kongregate, Quicktopic, and the livestream link for The End, with TVTropes at a distant 9th currently unlisted.)
And then, I keep doing this, until I think of something else to do.
Uh, yeah, that's about it.
For reference: it's currently 4:43 as of me typing this sentence. My family's all home, so strictly speaking, I could leave the computer now (our dog's long-gone from my lap), but I'm kind-of invested in this whole "getting text form of blog" thing done, so I think I'll stay. (Probably won't get it all done, but oh well.)
I go to bed...whenever I feel like it. Anywhere from just past midnight (I have to play Tuesday's badge of the day, and Dawn of Dragons), to past 5 am.
Tuesdays, currently, are me waking up at whatever time I wake up. I leave for Tae Kwon Do at any time between 4 and 4:45 (preferably, 4:20ish), since I no longer have a 4:20 end session to catch. (I think them playing it at whatever time they feel like is an improvement; I heard an acoustic track last night, for instance.) This lasts until 7:30, meaning I get home at about 8, give or take 10 minutes.
At which time, computer check: mom on desktop, nap. Mom not on desktop, claim it for myself. The rest of the night plays out like Monday does.
Wednesdays are currently identical to Mondays in structure, just with the timing of the event moved from 'after breakfast' to 'after supper': every-other week. I wake up at whatever time. I get on the computer at nearest available moment. Headphones on by 4:50. (Usually earlier, to avoid triggering my misophonia, because my dad will be home and start eating.) Get off the computer at 5:30ish, and eat myself.
If event week, leave for it. Rendezvous with my sister at 6ish, then onto whatever summer event our square dance club has planned. (This week, it's a movie, which we're not going to unless 1, we know what it is, and 2, it's something we actually want to watch.)
If not event week...back on the computer if possible. If not (my mom's every bit the opportunist I am)...nap until available.
For the first time in the week, I do not stay up late. I aim for a bed time of around 11, meaning I do not play Thursday's badge of the day.
This is, of course, because I have my Sunday schedule of work: getting up at 6, leaving at 7, to be there at 7:30. Work lasts until 1, so I get home at 1:30. Sometimes I nap, sometimes I don't. I do get computer time in more often than I don't, but at 6:15ish, I begin to get ready to eat, because ideally by 6:30, I've left for round dancing on all weeks except the 2nd of the month. (Most of the time.)
This gets me home late, at around 10:15, and I aim for a 2-3 am bedtime, because I have to get up at 9:30 for work on Friday.
Which is currently a living hell, it being summer camp and all that, but I can't disclose details about it. Instead, I can tell you I get done at 4, get home at 4:30, and because Fridays are family night, I immediately have a lot of work to do online since I won't otherwise get a chance to do much.
Bedtime is...really, really late, anywhere from 4 am to 7:30 am, meaning on Saturdays, I always wake up well into the afternoon, and spend my time, at first available opportunity, on the computer. As of recently, Saturdays seem to be Jeopardy-catchup-day and also Chuck-day, which sometimes bleeds into Sundays too (my family, save me, seems to go on a walk almost every week, alternating between walk on Saturday or walk on Sunday, with the episodes being on whichever day the walk was not; this week, the walk was on Sunday), but otherwise, this lasts until 11:30.
Cue anime, until 2:30 am. This gives me half an hour to fall asleep, so that I get approximately 3 hours of sleep for Sunday. I typically take a 20 minute nap, which I can afford, and then another 10 minutes, leaving at 7:10. This does make me arrive 5 minutes later than ideal (technically, I can arrive as late as 7:45, but it's a hilariously bad idea to wait that long), because if I arrive at 7:30 I can get all the work done but any later than that is a rush job, but the most frequent Sunday front desk opener, much to my chagrin, usually comes at 7:40, give or take 5 minutes, meaning I can afford to be there at that time because I'll still arrive before they do.
Work gets done at 1, I usually take a nap, and then, get on the computer, putting headphones on by at least 7:50, for Locals Only. (I prefer eating at about 7:30, ideally, though I can wait until 10 if I miss my window.)
I then typically spend the rest of the night on the computer, and that's the week.
...It's, uh...
...Healthier than it sounds?
I really am making progress in life, honest.
