I̢۪m just being nosey!!!
I know everyone gets up at different times in different time zones.
But I was thinking that my day has been fairly productive so far and was wondering if yours has to?
I awoke at 5:15, thanks to several cats who were starving hungry and hadn̢۪t been given any fresh food for a couple of hours.
So I went and shook their already full food bowls which somehow seemed to make it taste better for them.
I then started voting on the shapes challenge and making a few comments on the black and white side challenge.
Then it was out into the front garden to turn on a sprinkler, which was unfortunately facing me when I did so!!!!
Then I made myself a hot chocolate and started vacuuming the house.
I̢۪ve since started a load of clothes in the washing machine and cleaned out three rather large litter trays!!!
And it̢۪s only now seven o̢۪clock.
I need to slow down.
What about you?

I have been processing some of my images.....
Making many comments on as many DPC images as I could.....
Trying not to scratch my spots appearing on my legs and arms.
Getting over a chest infection.....
Still sick of my body brace I have to wear.....
Enjoying my browsing here at DPC.....
Hoping tomorrow will be a BETTER DAY.....

Got up at 5:30 and fed the cats. Went back to bed until 6:30 during which time I had a disturbing dream. Got up and turned on the computer while getting dressed. Checked score. Am knotting my noose now.
Actually I have to out to Circle K and get some milk so I can drink coffee. Things might look better then. |

Got up, got dressed, got kids up, made 4 lunches found out we were only had 2 juices, filled 2 bike water bottles with lemonade.
Got child #1 to change outfit twice, Child #2 to brush teeth by manual force, child #3 to put laundry in hamper by step by step nagging instructions and made child #4 brush hair, then damped hair, then scrub dirt that accumulated *while sleeping* since bath off face.
Made breakfast for everyone.
Get husband out of bed and into shower.
Break up huge fight between children over who gets lemonade bottles and who gets juice. After deeming that nobody was going to budge, check school lunch menu and discover it is something horribly institutional tasting and nasty. Raid kitchen change jar for $10 in change, force lunch money on all kids, confiscate all lunches and put in fridge for tomorrow.
Get hubby out of shower, find clothes and equipment and cane and such as he needs for his day. Leave him to it.
Round up kids and stuff them into the Jeep like a clown car - drive to the bus-stop. REalize child #2 has forgotten his backpack, and child#4 has forgotten her homework. Drive back to house.
Retrive items.
Go back to bus-stop in time to see bus pull away, turn around drive to the other end of street where the bus picks up again. Drive slow to bounce naughty children all over the dirt road wich washed out again in the last thunderstorm.
Load children on bus, make small talk with all the Parents at this end in kahki capris and polo shirts who arent completely sure Im not crazy (wild haired woman in a pirate tanktop and veryvery well paint splattered work overalls, with tattoos jumps out of small car and unloads a swarm of children.), schedule a few shoots and a consultation for another art project.
Drive back to house.
Scare fisher babies off back porch again.
Take call from a reschedule. Jump earlier by two weeks. Call current mural client, chit chat about work done and schedule time to work more this week.
Finish up logo concept sketch work for client to be faxed to the graphic artist.
Finish up photoshop majic on large composite (2 shots) poster for client, upsize and cleanup. Send off for approval.
Make self and hubby breakfast and tea.
Shower.
Re-dress and head out to client - paint quick swag over kitchen door. Leave bill and note for client on kitchen counter. Play with thier dog for a few.
Return home, shoo ravens off of back porch. Discover something managed to get lids off the trash cans again (even over the bungies). Pick up trash.
Download new maps to GPS for weekend trip. Download geo-caching waypoints for same. Gather stuff to leave for Caches (handmade sculpture, a beaded necklace, a trackerbug to pass on, and a $10 bill) and baggies for them. Bring tent outside to be setup and aired out for the day.
Come inside, check Desat. Score, do half a load of dishes, remember I need to anchor down the tent when I see it roll across the back yard in the wind.
Anchor tent. Come outback and see fisher babies again. Email wildlife people to let them know Ive had another sighting, still no mama (and no pics either, goshdarnit).
Come back inside and decide I need another cup of tea...
Its now 10:26Am. and I am off to Dicks Sporting goods to pick up some stuff I cant find in the camping totes...

Update: Drove to Circle K (for those of you who don't know, it's a convenient store)to get half and half and a container of their coffee for immediate gratification.
Chatted with Joseph, the retired PuertoRican gay engineer who works there and who takes me to the casino once in a while. Got my coffee for free. Poured some of it on the counter.
During the drive home in rush hour traffic (it's like a 1 minute drive, normally) poured more scalding coffee on my leg. Yelped.
Back home, poured the now only hot coffee down my cleavage and onto my white bra.
Maybe coffee wasn't the solution afterall. |

Up at 0530 because the voice messaging had been turned off and the phone kept ringing. Of course it stopped by the time I got to it.
Checked Career Builder, Monster, and Yahoo for jobs.
E-mailed a headhunter back and told them I wasn't interested in a one year temp job.
Updated the resume on Monster.
Decline an offer to teach Ropes and Knots at scout camp. I'm actually suppose to be photographing a scout camp anniversary the same day.
Checked my rugby photo sales on fotki. Woot! Someone bought $22 worth of photos.
Assessed my hand, shoulder, and face to see how they were recovering from playing rugby Sat. Note to self: stop playing rugby.
Getting ready to go to the nursery for a flat of flowers and a couple tomatoe plants. Printed off the list of flowers that hummingbirds like so I can attract the little buggers to the yard. |

Woke up about 8:15. Showered. Got dressed. Checked internet and email. Drove 20 minutes over to St. Francis University to take pictures at the gardens. It wasn't all that exciting, so 30 minutes later I was headed home. Drove around town to find the church we're going to visit in the next couple weeks. Now I'm home and I'm typing this.
This afternoon I'm taking a book back to the library.
Then I have The Shield and The Deadliest Catch to watch from last night. |
