A Day in the Life...

Many of you have asked me what a typical day is like for me. I thought I would give you a glims at a day in the life of Melissa.

5:30 Wake up and lie awake in bed

5:31 realize that it is 5:31 and I don't have to get up until 6. Hit snooze and go back to sleep.

5:50 Wake up suddenly with heart in mouth when I realize I didn't hit the snooze button - I turned it off.

6:00 get up, make coffee, sit on couch.

6:08 drink coffee and read "word".

6:45 2 cups of coffee later and I realize I have to get ready for work or quit. Go over what quitting would mean and decide it isn't worth the hassle. Get ready for work.

7:30 Ready to go to work, 4th cup of coffee in hand.

7:45 Arrive at work and start getting ready for the day.

8:00 to 2:00 Teach 8 of the most wonderful Bahrainis English. I really do love this.

10:00 Receive text from friend wants to see me tonight.

12:00 Receive text from another friend who also wants to do something tonight.

12:10 send texts back to friends telling them how much I miss them and how I can't wait to see them again.

2:01 Walk out the door ready for the rest of my day.

2:20 Arrive at someones house for some kind of meeting (staff, team, HC, Womens, ect...)

2:25 For jump start: Beg who ever lives at the house for some coffee.

4:30 Meeting ends. Spend 30 minutes to an hour talking about.....nothing.

5:30 Leave for the gym, have to stay healthy and want to sit in the jacuzzi.

7:00 Talk with the first Bahraini friend who texted me, she wants to go shopping (again). Haven't seen her in two days so can't say no. Off to the mall I go.

7:30 Meet up with friend at City Center, eat dinner, watch her shop and share truth.

9:30 Leave mall for home and call Carie so that someone knows I haven't been kidnapped.

9:45 Home. Decide to turn in early and get up early tomorrow morning to get email done.

9:47 play with cat. Decide to check email and then FB to put self in good mood.

11:00 Realize I didn't buy any groceries and decide to do it tomorrow. Also tell self that I will clean the apartment tomorrow.

11:02 Go to bed, can't sleep cause there is so much running through my mind. decide to watch a Gilmore Girls to clear my head.

12:45 3 Gilmore Girls episodes later, so very tired. Decide not to get up early tomorrow. Turn phone ringer off and go to sleep.
