The Drill

The saga begins Monday afternoon: load car with everything except work bag and laptop. Those go to the car in the morning.
Tuesday: Get to work around 7:30am. Leave at 4pm. Drive to college town. Hit grocery store for dinner. Make dinner, talk to better-half, read, finish any homework, go to sleep.
Wednesday: Wake up and work until 4pm. Run errands if needed, eat dinner, catch 6:30pm bus and then walk to classroom. Take the long way around. Get out of class around 9:30. Catch the 9:45 bus or wait until the 10:45 (lord, please don’t let me miss the 9:45). Talk to the better-half, wind down and go to bed.
Thursday: Wake up and work until 3:15pm. Catch 3:30 bus to class. Hopefully, can start walking now that it’s not 90 degrees. Get out of class and then meet with group for project work for an hour. Catch bus home. Eat. Tidy up and pack up for Friday depending on my schedule.
Friday: Wake up and make preparations for a leisurely leave schedule. Or, wake up, race like a bat out of hell to get on the road early. Three weeks in and so far, I’ve had to be in Richmond one Friday before noon and one Friday I’ve had a web-conference meeting that I did in the apartment. This weekend the better-half and I were in the college town until Sunday morning so that made the schedule at home more compressed (not complaining, had a great time over the weekend).
Good thing I’m organized.
