I have adjusted my wakeup time to 4:20 am to better fit my work schedule. It allows enough time to get ready for work and not be rushed doing it. It’s nice driving to and from work with little traffic. The only cavoite is that the office lights doesn’t turn on until half an hour after I start work. It’s fun walking to and from the kitchen in the dark with a flashlight. I brought a small lamp that I was going to give away. It gives enough light to find things around the desk. I spent half the day in meetings and did very little of actual work.

Once I got off work, I helped build Lego sets with the kids and showed my oldest how to fix one of his toys. He did most of the work. I just guided him.

The rest of the day I spent outside enjoying the sunshine flipping through pages of the Betty Crocker Outdoor Cook Book.

I have been getting to work a half an hour before my shift starts, using the time to work on my journal writing for the website. It allows me to write much more to give a expansive view of the day, unlike my short twitter updates. Since I arrive at work before sunrise, I do my work in the parking lot in my car. I have one of those convertible portfolio cases that you can slide on the steering wheel of the car. You can store your laptop, pens, and pad in it. It works well and I have been using it for over a year.

 After work I went shopping for this week’s groceries. The rest of the day I cooked and did household chores like laundry and dishes. I didn’t have much free time for myself. Read to the kids and went to bed.

This has been my typical Tuesday since I was required to work from the office. If I push my chores to another day, it just avalanches to other days. So, it is easier for me to have one exhausting day than have two.
