Today is atypical; let me give you an example of typical

Today I am sick. This means that I'm doing school work at home, in my jammies. Some of my classmates do this every day. I like going to school, though, because classes can be helpful. Something about actually seeing the professors is good. Needless to say, though, that today is atypical. I slept until 10 and am already considering a nap. My head is full of cobwebs and my brain is trying to exit through my nose. Gross, I know.

But what is a typical day for me?
4:30am - cat starts batting at my face; he thinks it's food time. I ignore him.
5:00am - alarm goes off. I hit the snooze and lie there for five more minutes. Then, I get up and gather everything together. Books, clothes, food.
5:45am - feed the cats and leave for the gym.
6:00am - arrive at gym. Somehow convince myself that it is a good idea that I do this most mornings. Claim an elliptical/treadmill.
7:10am - realize that it's 7:10am and run to the locker room. Shower.
7:45am - go to car, swap gym bag for school bag and breakfast.
8:00am - arrive in class, eat breakfast, and sit in same seat for four hours.
12:00pm - lunchtime! sometimes I actually get to eat with friends. Other times, there are meetings.
1:00pm - 5:00pm - class.
5:00pm - on most days, I am able to head home and study until husband gets off work at 6pm.
6:00pm - husband gets off work, cats demand food, we make dinner and feed cats. We talk about our days and eat together. Sometimes we watch something funny.
7:30pm - study for a bit, or until bedtime.
9:30-10:00pm - we head to bed and/or play card games for a bit and/or read.
11:00pm - we actually fall asleep.
