My World #mfrwauthor

I don't know why anyone would want to, but come along for a day in the life of a business owner, wife, daughter, caregiver, laundrywoman, craft person, and oh yeah, writer and author.

The clock strikes 12:01 AM, midnight bells have rung and the world is settling down. The monitor goes off in a request for the first bathroom run of the night. Back to bed, hopefully for a quick few hours sleep, and if I'm lucky the monitor won't go off until 4 o'clock in the morning. Or if I'm really, really, lucky, I'll get to sleep until 6 or 7. Then the real day begins. Vitals and meds (or pills and pokies as they have been called), cooking breakfast, then bolting down a bite or two of my own.

A quick check of emails then its time for pre-lunch vitals, making lunch, and another quick bite for me.

Afternoons have open slots filled with grocery shopping, mental or physical exercises, filing, cleaning, laundry, and the myriad of other items needed to keep a household running. A few moments of writing might sneak in before its time to cook dinner.

After dinner, with its vitals and meds, is a little downtime with Wheel of Fortune keeping everyone occupied while I sneak in computer work such as paying bills, coordinating affairs, and work on whatever project requires it the most.

Bedtime is a repeat of the morning routine, but with less marks to be made on the checklist. When snores start coming from the back bedroom it's "me time." A cold drink, my feet up, and out comes the notes and computer. Work on the current project, the post for the 52-week  challenge, interviews or other blog posts, research on whatever needs it, fills the time until bed. Other nights instead of computer work out comes the handcrafts to get ready for the next event.

Off to bed and a relaxing hour of television and the clocks strikes 12 again.

That's the 'usual' run of the day. Then there are the weekly gym visits, grandchildren and great-grandchildren's birthdays or other family events, and fixing whatever crisis comes up that day/week/month. 

Welcome to my world. The physical one not the world where I hang out with mages, ride magical equines, and fly with dragons. Be sure to visit the other posts in the challenge. ~till next time. Helen
