A day in the life

Week 55 / Prompt 3 - Write a "day in the life" of being you post.

A day in the life of me. Well, I'm not promising it'll be exciting...

Wake up around 6 or 6:30 a.m., turn my favorite music on, shower, dress, and head out the door for an hour commute to downtown. I usually listen to NPR on the way in for my daily dose of news. I park, then walk four blocks to my office on the 32nd floor. It's a small internal office, no windows, and the door stays shut pretty much all day, but it's private and I like it.

Lunch is anywhere between 11:30 and 2..and I tend to vary it just dependent on when I get hungry. I either read while I'm eating, or scarf my food and knit for the rest of my lunch break. There are tons of restaurants near my office, but sometimes I just bring something from home. I work for about 30 lawyers, handling their billing, and do a great job of getting the work done efficiently. I tend to tool around on WDC or FB, or write when I'm all caught up.

I get off at 4:30, walk the four blocks back to my car, and head home for another hour. I tend to listen to a different book on the hour commute home. I either head to my apartment, or I go to my SO's. If I'm visiting the SO, it's a slightly shorter drive, and I plop myself down in his oversized chair to either play games on his laptop or wii, or knit, until we curl up on the couch to watch something together. Dinner is often in there somewhere..ordered in, or cooked by either of us.

If I go to my place, I'm welcomed immediately upon entering by two incredibly affectionate cats. I change into pj's, and curl up on my couch with my laptop and my knitting (and my cats). TV goes on to watch whatever marathon show I'm watching on netflix or amazon, and I while away the evening enjoying my gaming and knitting hobbies. I have a bad habit of forgetting to eat (well or at all) on these nights. When my SO comes to visit at my place, I definitely eat better ;)

Sleep usually comes between 9:30 and 11. A book sometimes helps me fall asleep, but others I just curl up with either my SO or my two kitties (or both).
