Day In The Life: September 2013

I think it's fun to document my daily routine from time to time. I'm still on summer break and my roomie isn't at home. An average day in e.g. November will look very different. So here's what Sunday, September 15 looked like for me.

7am Awake ahead of my alarm. Checking mails, texts, instagram, etc. on my phone before I get up. It's incredible how many texts I get at night although my friends know that I won't respond until the morning.

7:15am Cat food for Lina and black tea and a super quick banana smoothie for me. Yepp, the only straws I have are the ones I 'steal' at starbucks. Their size is just perfect and I don't like flexible drinking straws.

7:30 checking mails, reading blogs and cleaning my kitchen.

7:55am watching a Tom Odell concert online(I had never heard of him before Saturday when I saw him live in my hometown. But I'm pretty hooked since the festival!), drinking a second cup and writing a to-do list for the day. I don't seem to function without to-do lists... even on Sundays!

8:00am sewing. I'm currently working on a Christmas quilt. It consists of 24 log cabin blocks so far... not sure whether I wanna add more or add huge strips of a solid white fabric to make it more of a blanket size rather than a dishtowel size...

11am second breakfast and vacuum cleaning the apartment.

11:45am taking a shower and getting ready for lunch at a fancy restaurant.

1pm lunch with my grandma, uncle, dad, sister and brother at a fancy restaurant. There was much more food than we could've possibly eaten. My favorite? The crème brûlée :)

4pm at my parents' house for some tea and homemade cookies (yupp, I can always eat cookies. Even after just spending two hours at a restaurant eating non-stop!). Also using the opportunity to wind the rest of the wool I need for my current knitting project. I don't have a yarn ball winder so I always use my mom's - one of the many great things about sharing hobbies with your mom ;)

6pm back home. Collecting some apples from the garden, checking on my very pathetic-looking plants(ever wondered why most bloggers stop sharing backyard pictures in September? It's not pretty, that's why.) and taking a short walk to stretch my legs.

7pm washing apples so I can make fresh apple sauce for breakfast tomorrow. Some more kitty playtime while talking on the phone to a friend. Also checking my to-do list what's left. Putting my timetable for the next term together. These are just the lectures, which means there will be like ten discussion groups added to this. I'm trying to squeeze all my classes in from Monday-Thursday so I can have Fridays off to work. We'll see about that...

9pm watching 'Tatort' (a very popular German TV series and the only television I watch because you can legally watch it anytime you want for a week after it has aired.) and there may have been a couple of sheep cookies involved... Also drinking one last cup of tea (rooibos this time) and knitting. There's a sweater in the making :)

11:30pm talking to my mom on skype who's currently in France working at a quilt show. Of course Lina is always close. Finally going to sleep at 1:30am.


I mainly documented my day because I realized that I've been taking hardly any pictures this summer. I've thought about printing some photos for my project life album (I have almost two months of catching up to do. Yikes!) but really, there isn't much. I can't wait for fall because fall means MAKING stuff and having stuff worth taking pictures of. Hopefully there will be many things worth photographing in the next months :)
