7:20-7:40: Depending on the day, my alarm will go off sometime in this time period. I wake up, get dressed, iron pants, eat breakfast, the normal stuff. Rocky usually wakes up 20 minutes or so after me, in time to eat breakfast with me. This is quite different from our life in Canada where I always woke up after Rocky. I'm not a huge fan of being the first one up.
8:20-8:40: Again, depending on the day, this is the time that I leave the house to catch my ride to work. This normally either means that Anne picks me up on her way to work, or I take the Suffolk Links bus, which is a bus that I phone and book a time for it to come pick me up, and then it does. It is an awesome service as the normal bus only runs once an hour, and is almost 4x as as expensive.
9:00: This is what time I officially start work, though I usually get there earlier, depending on what time I leave home. It is a less than 10 minute ride to work, so usually there early. I then start work, usually by turning on lights and computers, doing some cleaning, and then get on to normal work: helping customers or working on the website or the weekly emails.
10:00: I'm not really sure what Rocky does between the time I leave and he leaves. From what he has told me, he checks Facebook and email, plays games on the computer, and other random stuff, then has a shower, irons his clothes, has lunch, before leaving
11:45: Rocky has an insanely short walk to work, so gets to leave only 15 minutes before he starts work, and he still gets their early. He usually starts work at 12, but sometimes starts at 6.
5:00: I'm done work, and head home. Again, this is by the Suffolk Links bus, or with Anne. Once and a while I get a ride home with Karin. If none of this works out, it means waiting until the normal bus comes at 6:20, taking that bus to Melton, and then walking the 1/2 hour home. Luckily I have not had to do this yet, and I'm hoping this continues.
5:15-5:30: I get home. If Rocky is also home, then we eat supper, which is usually a microwave meal of some sort. They have surprisingly good microwave meals, much better than they have in Canada, so we have actually been eating very well. We also eat a lot of soup and sandwiches. If Rocky is done work at 6, then usually I check my email and Facebook, then eat when he gets home. If Rocky works until 11, then I usually watch some TV then eat around 7.
6:00-10:00: If Rocky is working until 11, I usually use this time to talk to people on Skype, watch TV, and I have also been doing a lot of colouring. If Rocky is home, then we usually play some crib during this time as well.
10:00-10:30: This is what time I go to bed. Zzzzzz
11:10-11:45: If Rocky works until 11, then he gets home sometime in this time period. I am usually asleep, or nearly asleep.
And then it starts all over again! We have none of the same days off this week, so we are doing nothing exciting this weekend. We are hoping Rocky can get next Monday off, and then we are hoping to go into London for the day, and perhaps go to the British Museum. We'll let you know!
Later days,
Kathleen
