A Day in the Life of this Natural Father: June 20th

Sourdough StarterToday was a big energy day for me. Here’s what it looked like:

• 5:45 – wake up, have coffee and a little reading
• 6:45 – hustle to work
• 7:00 to 10:00 – morning routine at the store (make coffee, put out pastries, do cash reconciliation, clean), cash register shift
• 10:00 to 11:30 – multiple phone calls, e-mails and snail mail
• 11:30 – double americano at the coffee shop
• 11:45 to 1:00 – work out staff scheduling and time off requests
• 1:00 – family comes for a visit, kisses all around
• 1:15 to 2:30 – bank run, write instructions for department managers
• 2:30 to 3:00 – load up our case of bananas and case of strawberries, post office
• 3:00 – get home, unload, greet the family
• 3:15 to 3:45 – sit in the sun and recharge
• 4:00 to 5:00 – ride bikes down to the bike co-op to see about volunteering in order to earn/build bikes for my daughters
• 5:30 to 6:00 – check personal email and read RSS feeds
• 6:00 to 6:30 – start sourdough bread and let rise
• 6:30 to 7:15 – make dinner (brown rice and vegetable stirfry) for family
• 7:15 to 7:30 – eat dinner, clean up
• 7:30 to 8:00 – read other blogs, leave a comment
• 8:00 – bread has still not risen (rosen, raised, rosed?)
• 8:05 – writing this down

There were many tiny moments of victory today, but I still don’t feel that I got as much accomplished as I imagined. I was looking forward to sleeping in a bit tomorrow, but just remembered that I need to go in to work at 7 for a few hours. Then I thought that I would get a nap in at least, but there’s a solstice celebration (a Solabration) at the park, then a baby shower and a BBQ at a friend’s. Crikey!

Here’s hoping for a mellow Sunday…
