A Day in the Life....

Because of Jen's Soli Deo Gloria sisterhood on Tuesday I have met some amazing bloggers...one is Tiffani who is hosting Word Women Wednesday.  I know I usually do The Wednesday What but I thought I would join in with Tiffani this week and give you a glimpse of a day in the life of Critty Joy.

Each day of my week looks different because of what I do for work and a few other factors. Tuesday is my most scheduled day of the week.

Unfortunately.... I went to doctor on Monday and was told to take a few days to rest and just let the meds work... blah I say!

So here is a look at an abnormal Tuesday (usually I am at work on Tuesday....) 

Alarm goes off at 6:47 am.  Hit snooze.  Alarm goes off at 6:56 am.  Hit snooze.  Lay still for a moment and then move cat to get up.  

Prepare for shower and notice moving extra slow this morning... the visit the day before to the doctor comes to mind and I realize he may have been right about taking a sick day.

Shower and spend an inordinate amount of time just standing there under the warm water.

Realize I should listen to doctor and call work at 7:45 am and tell them I am sick.

Sigh.

Let the dogs out and then have a simple breakfast of a toaster pastry.

Spend most of the morning reading.... find a familiar and well loved book to re-read.  There is such comfort in re-reading an old favorite.  Take some time to do my daily devotional a few hours later than normal.  Kind of like the change of pace!

Part of the afternoon is spent on some paperwork for work because it needs to be done....and a nap.  A rather long nap...but needed.

Watch some cheesy television/movie goodness on netflix and hulu....spend some time on facebook and twitter to catch up with friends and check email.  

Eat a very late dinner and back to bed...

So ends sick day two for Critty Joy....

 

What my normal Tuesday would look like...

The same beginning... work at 9 am... morning sessions and connecting with boss and other co-workers about teens, lunch with co-workers, afternoon sessions and paperwork.  Home by 6 for dinner, catch up on email, facebook, and twitter, some television, and possibly reading and writing....bed.

 

So I am thinking I will be thankful for my abnormal Tuesday.  :o)

I just need to tell you 2 things:

1. I love that you clock goes off at random numbers. Not the usual times ending in "0" or "5." I think this to be quite fun.

2. I love who you are and I'm so glad to know you. (maybe that's 3 things?)

I sure hope you feel better girl. Are you still thinkingbof a book club? If not, consider inBloom with inCourage.

Even when you're having an abnormal day, you're such a positive influence, thank you. Take care of yourself, enjoy your books, and hooray for toaster pastries! :)

Was thinking of you and popped over to see how you were doing. So sorry you're not feeling well. I have a sweet beloved struggling with that right now and know how hard it can be. Praying for you today.

Had trouble posting a comment so I apologize if you get it twice.

So you're a "snooze" hitter? My husband is a snooze hitter. Or he was a snooze hitter til I made him stop! I don't know how snooze hitter do it :)

Enjoyed the trip through your day. Sometimes "abnormal" days are good for us. Just hate to be sick for them!
