A day in my life.
- I woke up at 5:33 a.m. and began my day with a cup of Tully brand Keurig coffee. Then I sat down on my sofa and began playing the youtube channel, Journey Deeper, praying the Holy Rosary for Tuesday, January 18, 2022.
- After praying for over half an hour, I began making an italian roast flavored coffee for my husband. I added a teaspoon of sugar and a bit of french vanilla Nestle creamer. As it brewed, I began preparing my daughter’s buttered-sugar toast.
- It was already 6:14 a.m. and I went to wake my daughter from her deep slumber. I, also, offered my husband the coffee in bed.
- The timer on the toaster signaled that the toast was ready. I placed it on a plate and added more sweet sugar. I placed this on the glass-covered dining table.
The day got off to a good start.
- I logged into my desktop Dell computer, ready to work. I sent the usual sign-in email with the subject line, good morning.
- In half an hour, my daughter thanked me for making her breakfast, while listening to Change my clothes, by Dream & Alec Benjamin. She was ready to have her dad drive her to school in our family car.
- I became immersed in my work. I accepted a virtual meeting at 9:00 a.m.
- The meeting went on for a little over an hour. There was much discussion about a report design and the meeting ended with the intention to have another meeting to continue, at 11:00 a.m.
- It was time for a break – a half an hour walk around the block.
The stress of the meeting dissipated into the walk around the block and there was peace.
- Along the walk, the sun shone; the crows crowed; the parrots cackled and flew in a flock; the passersby walked his corgi.
The time passed quickly.
- I was ready for the next virtual meeting.
- The meeting started off with people missing so we waited.
- It was 11:07 a.m. and we started discussing matters on the design of the report again. Everyone spoke in turn, as the specifications began to materialize.
- By noon, the meeting ended to be continued at 5:30 p.m.
The home phone kept ringing off the hook.
- The stress from the meeting dissipated as I ate some chunks of cheddar cheese, cashew nuts, almonds, and dried cranberries.
- It was time for lunch my husband had prepared – some deep-fried pork belly and broccoli with white jasmine rice.
- As I relaxed for a few hours, I cleaned the bookshelf, the nest tables, the make-shift altar, etc.
By 3:00 p.m., I had an unexpected visitor.
- My friend came to visit.
- We chatted about the Lord, scripture, and prayer.
The time passed quickly.
- The virtual meeting lasted for 3 hours into the evening.
- It was time for a humble dinner.
As my words dwindle, the night fell into a close of a day in my life (of course with prayer before sleep) 🙂
Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day.
