Thursday + Friday

You guys I might have broken my blog! Blerg. And there really could not be a worse time, the next month is going to be nuts. I’m going to see if I can publish this. Wish me luck!

Thursday, 4/16

3:05 Bell rings. Plug in computers and turn off TVs. Book it to the parking lot.

3:12 Pull out of the parking lot (I can either leave work by 3:10 or after 3:25, but if I leave during that 15 minute window it will take about 15 minutes to get out of the parking lot).

3:45 Park at 12yo’s school. Call husband and chat for 10 minutes.

4:05 12yo and friend get into car, we head to swimming.

4:17 Drop them at swimming, look for parking.

4:20 Park car. Call friend who is interested in a Chevy Bolt and wanted to talk about our experience with it.

4:40 Walk over to pool. Play Two Dots and read The Cut while I wait (I couldn’t bring myself to do work after my day of teaching four 85 minutes classes).

5:25 Swim is over, wait some more

6:00 Boys FINALLY come out of changing room!

6:20 Home after dropping off 12yo’s friend. Make kid dinner. Eat snack. Feed cats.

6:40 Eat with 15yo while we listen to the If Books Could Kill x Maintenance Phase Crossover (Peter Shamshiri and Aubrey Gordon together at last!)

7:45 Try to rally for a workout. Feeling tired and full.

8:20 Finally start my 45min Interval & Arms ride (Tunde, 4/05/26)

9:25 Finish workout (another brutal workout! And I got an output PR!) Check in upstairs, ask the 15yo to shower, so I can get in when I’m done with abs + stretching

9:30 Do 5 min ab routine + 5 min of stretching.

9:45 Shower, pjs

10:00 Check in upstairs. Help 12yo get into bed. Clean up around house.

10:30 Bedtime Prep.

11:00 Get into bed. Talk with husband for longer than either of us probably wanted.

11:30 To sleep!

Friday 4/17

3:05 Bell rings. Plug in computers. Sort papers. Make some copies.

3:43 Leave right before the high school across the street gets out. Listen to La chica del lago in the car. Talk to husband a bit too.

4:30 Arrive at mall to get One Piece cards for 12yo’s friend’s birthday tomorrow.

4:45 Procure said One Piece cards.

5:00 Resist temptations for shopping and food and head home.

5:20 Actually, fist stop at Grocery Outlet. Grab a couple things. Forget a couple things.

5:40 Home. Reheat pizza (Again! So much flatbread pizza left over from book club!). Watch part of Real Housewives of SLC ep with 15yo.

6:10 Feed cats, start making 15yo’s dinner.

6:22 Leave to pick up 12yo from dojo.

6:55 Find parking and go up to ask if I can not be there tomorrow (it’s a test and normally I would run warm ups, but my friend said she would do it for me)

7:05 On the way home with 12yo

7:30 Home (we stopped to get a treat on the way back), park my ass on the couch, don’t do much for a while

8:20 Start sorting laundry from all over the house

8:35 Finally put in a load of laundry. Fart around. Lie on the couch.

9:11 Wake up after dozing off! Switch laundry. Fold laundry while watching Summer House. Mess around but accomplish nothing (or not much).

10:15 Fold 2nd load of laundry. Hang out with family. Get 12yo into bed. Play with cat.

I’m really not sure what else happened between 10:15 and when I finally went to be sat midnight but I checked and it was exactly 12:02 when I put my phone down and closed my eyes.
