After Work/Evening Routine?

Kelly · Hermes

It really changes, depending on how late I stay at work and if I go to the gym. There's always some combination of making dinner, watching TV, playing Nintendo, doing some writing, and hanging out with BF.

If BF is over, we go to bed at 12 or 12:30. If he's not, I stay up obscenely late...4AM sometimes! Thankfully he's over almost every night now, and I'm not as sleep-deprived as I used to be :)

I'm trying to get back into a routine. So far this week it has been:

5:30-6:00 -> Leave work
6:30 -> walk through the door at home and start preparing dinner
7:00 -> Eat dinner and then digest
8:30 -> go to gym
10:00 -> make it back home again
10:00-1am -> unwind and finally go to bed.

I'm still working on the eating dinner and unwinding part. I have started crockpotting again to cut down on cooking time and hopefully that will mean I can get to the gym earlier and then go to bed sooner.

Here's mine:

A typical evening usually goes like this:
5:00: Get off work
5:10: Arrive at home (I live close to my job, it's awesome)
5:10-6:00 Watch the news
6:00 Have a glass of wine and start making dinner
7:00-9:00 Zone out and usually have alone down time or watch TV with the bf.
9:00: Get ready for bed and get in bed.
10:00: Watch tv in bed till I fall asleep.

Sometimes I don't do any of this, and I just go to happy hour right after work. :) Then I usually come home about 7:00 or so and just unwind.

On a typical, non-telecommute day...

Get home, sort mail, put away any groceries I may have picked up during the day. Fix cat a snack.

Change into PJs. Clean up any cat vomit that may have happened during the day. Pour a glass of wine.

Turn on computer, check personal email, check home phone messages, read mail. Veg for a little while on this site or another while DH meditates and I have quiet time.

Make dinner for DH, cat, and me, and eat, usually eat around 7. Watch previous day's Daily Show on Tivo while we eat.

Load dinner dishes into dishwasher, veg with one eye on computer and one eye on whatever TV shows DH has lined up for the evening. If I'm not interested in TV I may call a friend and chat for a half hour, or I'll do some extracurricular work or writing.

Give cat bedtime snack around 9:30. Start packing it in around 9:45 or 10. Get ready for bed, read in bed until about 10:30. Toss and turn until 11. Repeat as necessary.

5:00 - leave work
5:30 - arrive home, throw everything on guest bed, change into something comfortable, chat with husband, pet cat.
6:00 - discuss and either leave for or start dinner / eat at some point in the 6 o'clock hour.
7:00 - 9:30 - some combo of TV or internet, usually with DH. In nice weather during daylight savings, we'll often take a walk around the neighborhood.
-Most days I play with the cat for about 20 minutes to help her work out her energy.
9:30-10 - Discuss when I'm going to bed with husband. He likes to go to bed early and is always asking me when I plan to get in bed too. I could run a marathon between 10:00 and 1am every night, but I usually give up and just go to bed when he does.
Wash face, brush teeth, and usually stretch.
Read
Usually asleep around or before 11.
