Lots of numbers in the title of this post, sorry!

But this is my second weekly project.  This one based on a hidden project on the 52 Projects website.  I’m not going to post a link directly to it; you should go explore the site and try and find it yourself :P  Also, it’s hidden so it will take me a while to find. lol  The project is to document a typical “day in the life”.  I say I have three ‘typical’ days in my life: work days (sometimes with volunteering in the evening), cross stitch days and days at home when I work on other projects.  I decided to only bore you with two of these days.  A cross stitch day and a work day.  Though in retrospect an at-home “other project” day would have been more interesting. lol  I still have holes in my project schedule for the year, so perhaps I’ll go back and do that in the future if I need a project.

I’m also not going to bore you with the play by play, just the summary.  And a final note: this also turned out to not be a ‘typical day’.  One of my dogs is ill and spending the weekend at the vet. :(

A “Cross Stitching” Day in the Life

Out of bed at 0915

After I’m all ready to meet the day I get on the PC and quickly check email and twitter and my Google Reader.  For the Reader I cleared out the posts/articles I wasn’t interested in and saved things I wanted to read or listen to for another day.

By 1000 I’m in my stitching chair.  I’m a multi-tasker, so this involves watching DVDs that need to be sent back, chatting with a friend on IM though the miracle of wireless keyboards and screen resolution adjustments and, of course, cross stitching.  I have a lot of interruptions this morning because the family has taken Winston to the vet again and Kes, my other dog, is not happy.  I give up stitching for the time being, get some breakfast, play with the pup, chat with the family about the diagnosis Winston has received (not good :(  ) and then visit the library (to pick up a Sookie Stackhouse book I had on hold) and post office (to return the DVDs that I did manage to watch).

About 1215, things have finally settled down and again I’m stitching, chatting and clearing out the programs I PVR’d during the week.  We receive updates and options from the vet through the afternoon.

About 1615 we leave to take the bus into town.  Our other baby – one of our cars – needs to be rescued from its doctor.  We do a bit of shopping and eat out as no one really wants to cook anyway.

Home again and in my stitching chair resuming the afternoon’s activities by 1940.  I’ll spend the rest of the night like that until about…

0100 when, though I’m not tired, I decide to pack up and head to bed.

I’m asleep by 0130.

What’s a typical fun day like for you?
