Weekday Routine

Urban Bees in Cleveland, three blocks from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

My typical week day, that would be 90% of them, I wake up around 6:00 AM.  After a stop in the bathroom, I click on my desktop computer, grab a Coke Zero and something simple to eat - like a slice of bread with cheese spread on it (I make my own cheese spreads.)  I log on to the computer, open Chrome and click on my email, Facebook and my blog.  I review them in that order, hoping that my blog posting of the day posted as expected.  Then I run through my short list of favorite blogs, check the Washington Post and Lexington Herald Leader.  I then revisit the bathroom, take a shower, dress and head for the door.  I am usually on the shuttle to the subway station by 8:15.  I read on the trains, arriving at the office around 9:00 AM.  

Logging onto my office computer, I look at the internal organization website, office email, personal email.  Replying to office email takes an hour or more.  The rest of my work day is spent responding to email, participating in meetings and conference calls, making progress on one or another of the half a dozen research projects I am usually working on.  Sometime mid-day I run down to the deli on the lower level of the lobby and grab lunch, eating at my desk while continuing to work. When I have run out of steam, usually between 4:00 and 4:30 I restart my office computer and head for the subway.  I get more reading done on the ride home.  

At home I check the mail, check email, Facebook and Blogger, then change and go over the gym in the community center for my 30 minutes of ME time.  After that I cook, enjoy dinner, watch a couple of hours of TV, then go to bed.  

Yea, that is about as exciting as my week gets.  Half a dozen times a year I get to travel for work.  A major change in routine.  Then there are my weekends. 

What is your typical weekday like?
