rut or routine?
- monday through friday
- wake up between 6am and 7am
- check email, weblogs, etc
- go to gym (usually around 8am)
- monday, wednesday, friday — set of twelve reps at most of the upper-body weight machines, 20-30 minutes on elliptical machine (cascades mode, level 12)
- tuesday, thursday — 45 minutes on elliptical machine (cascades mode, level 15)
- breakfast (granola and yogurt), shower, begin work
- work (generally with a snack or two of an apple or orange)
- lunch around 1pm (sometimes i run errands. monday-thursday i fix something at home, and on fridays i usually pick something up)
- work (generally with another snack or two of apples, oranges, or celery with peanut butter)
- dinner around 7pm (salad — lettuce, shredded carrots, roasted sunflower seeds, and ralphs poppyseed dressing)
- watch television, dvds, or play world of warcraft
- go to bed anytime between 10pm and midnight
- saturday and sunday
- wake up between 6am and 8am
- breakfast (pancakes), shower
- read email, weblogs, etc
- get out (go to a movie, go take pictures, go shopping, etc)
- eat a mid-day meal (when and what depends on whether i’m in or out — a frequent choice is to pick up a few empanadas at the grand central market)
- read a book, screw around on the computer, etc.
- dinner around 7pm (salad)
- watch television, dvds, or play world of warcraft
- go to bed anytime between 10pm and midnight
the weekdays are more consistent than the weekends. weekends depend on what movies are playing, whether i need to hit trader joe’s, what books and movies i have on hand, whether i feel like baking bread and making pizza, etc.
but i’d say about 90% of my days fit these basic templates.
today will be an exception, for example — unless i flake out and forget, i’m going to head up to amoeba music and catch dengue fever.
