[VanIslander]

I am surprisingly content with the following routines over the last two months:

Schedule A: Monday to Thursday

5: 45 am wake up at/near dawn (which is a bit earlier this time of year)
6:00 am enjoy a cup of tea at the bedroom window overlooking the farm valley:
6:30 am listen to some classical music (Prokofiev, Brahms, Mendelssohn violin concerto especially in early morn) and stretch!
7:00 am go for a walk, sometimes with a good book or the neighbour's dog
8:30ish have breakfast
9:00 am-12:00 am involves tidying up and reading and journaling and emailing and napping.
noon lunch
1:00 pm start to get ready for work
2:00 pm leave for work
3 pm-8:20 pm teach, with free time gaps to surf Dave's (work related! sort of)
8:45ish arrive home walking from work, then watch one of the too many DVDs I've collected or phone somebody or go online or write a letter and/or listen to jazz, ballads, pop, whatever
10:00 pm-11 pm go to bed

Schedule B: Friday to Sunday

No routine as the days are off, other than: Just get out of this small town before noon Friday, go travelling, and return by dusk on Sunday.

The flu (now again! arghhh) and the World Cup have thrown things a bit wonky, but not much, as I try to get back this routine, as it really seems to work for me: I feel wonderful. If only I had a great companion with kids of my own I'd be in seventh heaven. Patience, patience...
