A Typical Day in My Life

This week's Long & Short Reviews prompt is "A Typical Day in My Life."

That's not much of a topic. My life borders on being monastic. It doesn't sound very exciting, but it's my vocation and I enjoy it.

Prayer is part of every day, as is basic self-care. Seeing and communicating with other human beings is part of most days. Time spent out in the not-a-lawn, on the porch, or in the orchard, with the cats, is part of most days. That's all I need to write about that. All the Internet needs to know about living human beings who are neither "celebrities" (who can afford a lot of security measures) nor criminals (who deserve what they get) is that they exist.

Typically I spend the small hours of the morning with this computer. Sometimes I fall asleep at the computer. Sometimes one or more of the cats follow me to the screen porch,

Sometimes I eat a solid breakfast. Sometimes a caffeinated drink is breakfast. On cold days I try to cook in the morning, using an electric skillet as an oven. 

Sometimes I go into town to send or collect mail or buy groceries. It's about two miles each way, a nice morning walk. Sometimes I catch a ride with the odd jobs man. Most days I stay at home. 

If I didn't sleep at night, I plan on making up for lost hours of sleep during the day.

Some days I do odd jobs for real people in the real world. Some days I do my own housework or yard work. Some days I write on one of the reliable computers,  not fouled up by the Internet, at home. Some days I come back online during the daytime. Some days I'm online in time to connect with link-ups, social media, and other fun'n'games, and some days I'm not.

On cold days the female cats are likely to be indoors with me. On warm days they are likely to be outside, usually on the porch. 

Most days, if it's not too wet, I burn the day's trash in the afternoon. On hot days I might add wood to the fire and cook in a Dutch Oven over the coals. Or I might eat something convenient and unheated.

Reading, knitting, and some sort of exercise fit into most days, somewhere.
