Day in the Life /24 Hours
Oct. 20th, 2010 08:50 pmBut BACKWARDS!
Currently 8:50pm; I am at work and will be until 10pm. I've been on the desk since 6, and have been fairly busy at times (3 simultaneous chats, one of which was a person looking for a sound recording of a Spanish radio play produced in 1973, oy) and also spoken to my family twice on the phone, including once singing a bedtime song to an overtired little boy whose sister stepped on his toe. I also looked at Jezebel and Go Fug Yourself and emailed with my father about genealogy.
I got to work at 12:45. I did the desk schedule for next week and circulated it and put it on the web, looked at stats on my academic blog, dealt with a few work emails, emailed about Girl Scouts, picked the yarn I want for the hat my coworker is knitting me, got all the Bassetts into the genealogy web site and uploaded the pictures my father sent me to Flickr, spent 2-3 pm on the desk with no activity at all, read the Times, and ate dinner. My tooth with the temporary crown was hurting so I took some tylenol and I think I need more.
Left home about 12:15 - it had cleared up and was rather too warm for my outfit as I walked in. It's about 2 miles.
Got home from the kids' school at 10am. Advanced the laundry, emptied the dishwasher and refilled it, prepped the coffee machine for tomorrow, emailed about Girl Scouts, listened to The Commonwealth Club of California on NPR, polished 6 drawer pulls with brasso (they actually have no brass left on them, but at least they now look like pewter, sort of) and reattached them to Casper's dresser, took out the compost, folded and put away the clean laundry, caught up on internets, packed dinner, ate lunch, kept cats from fighting too much.
Left the house at 7:34 (VERY LATE) for the kids' school, whole family in the car. Just barely avoided a tardy. mr. flea forgot Dillo's backpack so he went back home to get it while I went to spend a few hours with Dillo's class. Went to breakfast (FAUGH disgusting), art (art teacher out - sub had them play with Kapla blocks and is not very good at managing 4 year olds), bathroom, classroom circle time and "work time" (=play stations in the room). Left 9:45. Dillo had a bad morning the previous day when his usual teacher was out at the doctor. He was angry when I left him today.
Out of bed at about 6:20 as I heard it start to rain and had laundry on the deck. Showered, got kids up, fed (Casper: coffee, Dillo, cheerios), dressed (Casper did herself and dilly-dallied with the cat; Dillo was sleepy and intractable and I left him to mr. flea). mr. flea very very slow getting ready.
I was awake on and off from 5am or so. I think I took Advil in the night - I wake up with a sore tooth most nights now. Was in bed by about 9pm; mr. flea slept on the couch (he often falls asleep while playing Ipod games and doesn't move). Dillo fell asleep on my chest at 8:40 or so after a very cranky night, overtired. Casper and I were at Girl Scouts from 6:45-7:30. Then we did a shower and homework. She read mr. flea The Golly Sisters Go West in bed while I lay with Dillo on my chest. He didn't brush his teeth, but she did.
The end.
