What do you do all day?

I decided it was time to answer the question I get the most, What do you do all day?

·     Our mornings start anywhere between 7 and 8:30 and that is without an alarm clock.  The average wake time is 7:30.

·     I sit back and enjoy my limit of 2 cups of coffee a day.  If I drank anymore, I would have the shakes all day.

·     Now, while I’m enjoying my coffee, I scan through Facebook and play my daily games of Candy Crush, Candy Soda and Word Connect. If I’m doing really well I can play for at least an hour if not longer, I know what a waste of time, but that is not a problem because I have all day.

·     Grocery shopping, I love a grocery store, except on a rainy Saturday morning, that is when everyone else is shopping.   I think we have been in every grocery store on Key West including the little mom and pop shops.  Grocery shopping is great when you have a car, otherwise we have to lug the wagon and walk, yuck, but it helps for the 10,000 steps. Don’t forget whatever I buy has to fit in my tiny refrigerator.

·     Meal planning is time-consuming, I have to look at pretty pictures of food (I’m a Pinterest fan), make decisions about  eating in or going out, and I have to consider our budget, which we have been over every month since starting this excursion.

·     I make breakfast almost daily, depending on my mood, it could be cereal, oatmeal, omelets, French toast, pancakes, hard-boiled eggs, but mostly scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cheese. Sometimes he just gets a breakfast bar.

·      Of course dishes need to be done, Rob is my dishwasher. He has to wash and dry by hand. I should probably buy Palmolive so he can have nice soft hands.

·      Ice is a twice a day chore.  This includes emptying 2 ice-cube trays. The ice maker no longer makes ice cubes, but it still works as a freezer so I also make 4 bowls of block ice.  The block ice is for the cooler.  I know it would be easier to buy a bag of ice, but it helps with the budget.  The things  I do to make sure there is cold beer.

·      In the morning I drain the water out of the cooler and at night I stock with beer.  Of course draining the cooler consists of opening the floor and draining the water using a syphon via a special hose, very scientific.

·      On Thursdays while in Key West we walk to the farmers market, we stroll through the fruit and vegetable stands, there are 3 amazing Middle Eastern stands that offers free samples of their delicious food, and you could basically have lunch just by trying the samples. Oh, and the cheese lady is my favorite.

·      We walk at least 10,000 steps daily, some day’s way more others barely. We love exploring the back streets of Key West and seem to discover something new every day.

·      My work out routine which includes squats, Russian Kettlebell swing, the superman (On all four and extend left leg and right arm straight out) and the double leg crunch, funny thing is I haven’t noticed any change, maybe I have to work out for more than 5 minutes and once a week. I have a jump rope, but I haven’t been able to find it, I’m on a boat it shouldn’t be that hard.

·      Laundry day is different each time, sometimes I wait until I have several loads others when I only have 1 load.  My dilemma with laundry is I have to go through the pool area and up the steps to the laundry room.  But it is great to sit by the pool while waiting on laundry.

·      Rob has to empty the shi**er every other week, that is a dirty chore and I am so glad he takes charge of that one.

·      Reading, by the pool, on the fly bridge, while sitting out back, there are so many places, the decisions I have to make.  I am currently reading The Camel Club and Rob is reading Stone Cold both are by David Baldacci.

·      We occasionally go to the pool, it is very crowded on weekends.  Great place to people watch (lots of skimpy bathing suits), read, and wait for the laundry.

·      Riding bikes, we’ve done that once.  Same with our scooters only ridden once since Rob’s accident. Bike riding would be considered exercise and we already know how much I exercise.

·      Cleaning the inside of the boat takes me practically all day, I don’t understand why, since it is literally 2 rooms and a bathroom.  It’s not like I’m sitting and watching the soaps, we only have 3 channels. 

·      There is also the mundane stuff like going to the dentist for a root canal and cleanings, getting fingerprinted for our TSA pre check, and having to get a new pair of eyeglasses (can you believe I want to be able to see clearly).

·      Spending time with all our family and friends, there have been so many along our travels, it is almost like never leaving Maryland.  We have also made some new friends along the way.

·      Happy hour and watching the sunset go hand and hand and both are great to do in Key West. Where to go for happy hour our all-time favorite place in Key West is the Boathouse and our second favorite place is Ka’ Why Knot’s fly bridge (cheaper and helps with that non-existent budget). 
·           Naps, I was informed I forgot to include naps, you know why? One of us could lay down and nap for 10 to 15 minutes and be raring to go.  If I were to nap, I however would just be falling asleep as he is waking up. I also feel absolutely useless the rest of the day when I do fall asleep.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I do lay down while he naps, my back needs a break from all the walking.

Well, I hope this answers the question what do you do all day but more importantly, what you really want to know is if I am bored, HELL NO.
