How has it been two weeks since I last posted here? I feel like my life is a series of must-dos lately, and this just isn’t one of them. I need to work on that. But, today, I want to get something on the blog, and Show Me and Sweet Tea had a great “Finish the Sentence” from @Frypartyoffive that I’m going to borrow!

Every morning I…

drink multiple cups of coffee! I have just an old-school drip coffee maker that I love, and I make half a pot. I am the only person in my house who drinks coffee, and it is close to gone, if not completely gone, every day! Sometimes, if I don’t have time to drink much at home, I will get one out. I love my coffee!

I can’t leave the house without…

my phone. I sometimes will accidentally leave without it, but I realize pretty quickly when I can’t get to my podcasts! I love listening to podcasts in the car.

My usual breakfast is…

mostly coffee. I don’t have a go-to breakfast and often go without it until after my first class of the morning. I will eat cereal, granola, and Cheerios in yogurt, overnight oats, instant oatmeal, etc. I do love to eat breakfast out when I have a chance, but that is relatively rare.

I study/work at…

two different college campuses – a Community College, where I am part-time, and a 4-year state university, where I am full-time. I also tend to work a lot on my couch at home! My husband loves to go to Panera and work, but I like to be in my own space and on my own couch!

When I get home, I…

take off my shoes! I also will typically turn on the TV and see what’s on YouTube from the day or I watch Murder She Wrote and relax. I’ll grab an iced tea (coffee in the morning, iced tea the rest of the day). I will sometimes put on pajamas if it isn’t TOO early and I don’t need to go out again.

What about you? What are your go-tos for these prompts?

I am going to try to be better about posting on the blog, but I can’t make any promises! My life is just a firehose of to-dos and I’m drowning a bit right now.

    we have a lot in common! I also always have my phone with me, in case something happens at school. I also take my shoes off when I get into the house. I work in ONE place and cannot fathom how some of my colleagues are split between two campuses… but many of them say it breaks the day nicely.

    I definitely do NOT like having to move between teaching and my FYE responsibilities (administrative/directing – lots of meetings and projects) during a day. But, traveling from one campus to another is pretty okay. I stop at Panera and get an iced tea (it is on the way) and sometimes will sit in the car at campus two to listen to the end of a podcast.

    This semester I took a Monday Wednesday Friday class for someone who got reassigned time and I will never do that again! I can’t remember ever teaching a Friday class (for a long time it was because I was Director of Speech and Debate and we had tournament travel on Fridays quite often) and I will never do it again! I like having my Fridays to just focus on FYE responsibilities and play a little catch up and planning forward. This semester, every day feels like I’m constantly shifting between responsibilities and I don’t have enough focus for any of it!
