Friday, July 28th 2023: Things to do today

I figured today is a good day to write about what I want to do.  It is 5:39am and I woke up early to get some online work done.

I missed a training for my online job, so I need to try to catch up today.  I also need to write some posts for our new site that is launching.  And I need to do my usual two hour shift.  So I will break it down like this:

• 6am - 7am: Work on posts for new site, catch up on training if there's time
• 7am - 9am: Usual shift, catch up on training in between tasks if possible

Besides work, I also want to get out today.  Since the babies will be awake and fed from 12pm to 2pm, maybe we can go with them to the library.  We can check out an ESL book for my mother-in-law, something to read for me maybe, and then we can just hang out with the babies in the play area and return on time for their 2pm nap.

I do want to get out to the mall to get my ears pierced for the first time.  I feel kind of boyish in my new pixie cut, which I used to be fine with, but now I think I want a style change.  Earrings are intriguing to me right now since they add color and interest to your face.  And it's more socially acceptable and changeable than getting a tattoo. 

My friend also wanted to get together today.  Maybe we can go to the mall together while the babies are home with my husband and mother-in-law and are napping.

So the fun plan is:

• 9am -11am: Relax and family time while babies nap
• 11am -12pm: Feed the babies lunch and get them ready for the library
• 12pm - 2pm: Go to the library as a family
• 2pm - 4pm: Go to the mall with my friend while napping babies and family stay home
• 4pm - 6pm: Cooking and eating dinner and feeding babies
• 6pm - 9pm: Relax with family, put babies to sleep, and go to bed

I think today is going to be great! :)  It's almost 6am now, so time to get to work!

UPDATE ON DAY

I didn't go to the library or mall, but I did get out with my husband for an academic advising appointment, ate a good lunch, napped, saw my friend, and showered.  Not bad at all!  Even though I didn't follow my plan exactly, I still really enjoyed my day and was productive.
