Every day I sink lower. When I think the bottom approaches, the foundation cracks and I am pulled even lower then I thought possible.
Time to drink about it.

Laundry and get started on my classwork.
So far, I've done a bit of laundry
I had a pretty low key day today, and things went smoothly and painlessly. Just had to:
1: Get dressed for sexy Sunday
2: Go shopping for a friend's last minute birthday present
3: See said friends, hang out for a bit
4: Go home
5: Make dinner
Step five is all that's left, and prep is done so it should be easy peasy.
I feel bad for you though, that's a brutal work schedule. I remember doing 50-55 hour weeks and not having any time or energy left to really care for myself, doing even more than that is just wild to me. I hope it's at least setting you up for a lovely future!
- Muck about with Netbird (oops, wait, that wasn't on the list!)
- Walk the dog.
- Tidy the garden.
- Replace the shower curtain.
- Clean and lubricate the bean-to-cup coffee machine.
- Book holiday flights.
Shop for a dining furniture set that sits 4 people. We just eat at the kitchen bar but since we're having guests for the first time next month, we need a proper dining table.
What kind of dining table did you go for?
Haven't gone out yet, but we're looking at a counter-height table. Square for the aesthetic but might just go for a reactangle for more useable space. Definitely not looking at getting a massive one.

Make breakfast for kids

Go to work

Not sure what it says, but I just got a text from my wife so there's at least one more thing I gotta do

Ensure kids all have clean uniforms for school tomorrow
On the list- Record podcast with some friends, fix a kitchen drawer and adjust some doors, mow my lawn, laundry. So far I've done everything but the mowing. And at this point I have zero intention of doing it. Partly because it's time to eat jelly beans and watch YouTube but mostly because I'd have to finish cleaning the trash out of my yard I started cleaning yesterday. The excuse for not doing that is trash doesn't get picked up till Thursday.
It's not even 8 AM here yet. Guess the first item on my to-do list is 'write a to-do list'.
