Two More Schedules

I'm going to continue the theme from yesterday.

3. This one is from the period of time I lived in a little apartment on Caminito de Norbert in Santa Fe. It lasted for the 6 months or so I worked at CleanAIR Systems, from November 2006 - May 2007. I had a lot going on in the evenings, so after 4:00 pm things diverge.

6:00 Wake up to Democracy Now on the Radio.
6:00 - 7:00 Sloooooow wake-up and breakfast, listening to the Radio the whole time. Breakfast was usually Flax Plus cereal with soy milk and a scoop of Spirutein mixed in - plus a glass of orange juice.
7:00 - 7:10 - Wash up, get dressed, brush teeth.
7:10 - 7:30 Drive to work.
7:30 - 4:00 Work.
4:00 - 4:20 Drive home. (Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri). Thursday: 4:00 - 4:20. Drive to St. E's. 4:20 - 8:00. Be front desk volunteer.
4:20 - 5:00 Relax. Jog (sometimes). Shower. (This was one of the few times in my life in Santa Fe I showered every day - my job got me pretty nasty fairly consistently.)
5:00 - 7:00 Monday only: cook dinner, eat. Tuesday, Wednesday: read, relax, write.
7:00 - between 9:30 and 10:30 Monday: read. Tuesday: Taiko practice. Wednesday: Pint night at Blue Corn with friends.
10:30 - 11:00 Sleep.

Sundays had a bit of a pattern, too. I would consistently do laundry and do grocery shopping late Sunday afternoon and cook a meal Sunday night, with a lot of reading before bed.

I did not have an internet connection at home, so I would usually check my e-mail on Saturday mornings at the library - did that pretty consistently.

4. The last one is from around October 2008 - December of the same year. Not a long time, but it was the last time I really had a daily schedule I followed and flourished under (a little). This was an intense, dark and strange part of my life that yielded a lot of highs and lows. The schedule went something like this:

8:00 Wake up.
8:00 - 8:30 Wake up slow; mess around on internet.
8:30 - 9:00 Calisthenics in the room.
9:00 - 9:30 Breakfast
9:30 - 10:30 Practice piano.
10:30 - 11:30 Read.
11:30 - 12:00 Lunch.
12:00 - 12:45 Watch tv, play computer games (if driving). If walking, begin walk to work at 12:15.
1:00 - 5:00 Work.
5:00 - 5:15 or 5:45. Return from work, whether driving or walking.
6:00 - 6:30 More piano.
6:30 - 7:00 Dinner.
7:00 - 12:00 Watch movie, relax, play video games, sometimes read.

It has been fruitful to write these out. There might be a couple more coming, but maybe tomorrow I'd like to spend a minute or so writing about what this all means to me. It's nothing particularly surprising or clever or anything; it just gets me thinking about my past, what decisions I've made in my life, and what I've made of it.

Good night, all.
