NoJoMo 1 (can someone link the list please) in Second 1st

I searched NoJoMo and can’t find it. Just get 2014. So I’ve taken the prompt from someone else’s journal. I’ll find the list of prompts sometime today I’m sure. I’d like to give it a go.

Before getting started let me say.... OT was cancelled! Thankfully.... Sunday afternoon we usually have to run export. We’d run out of boxes by 3 though and got to go home early but I was feeling it.... dizzy and my ear is a bit loud this morning (tinnitus) but that’s expected should be fine.....

OKAY here we go....

Write an account of how you spend an average day in the life. Start with the moment you wake up.

We will do an average day during the week (when I’m not working, I work weekends).

12:30-1am Wake up and assess why I am awake and deflate that… Sometimes it’s that I’m too hot, have to pee, or had a nice spinning dream that turned out to be real dizziness. Then of course try to go back to sleep because getting up might be insane.

2-3:30 I should be asleep but likely I wake up somewhere in there. I do not set an alarm unless we have something exciting to do.

before 3-If I wake before 3 I’ll rush out to my computer to start pulling work. If not I’ll wait till about 4 to do that… sometimes I”ll roll over and try to get a few more minutes. Like this morning I was able to sleep till 4! it is very possible that I wake with a migraine so I’ll also take meds ASAP hopeful that it doesn’t become an all day event.

Until 4 brush teeth, get dressed and play video games on my phone. Start attempting to pull work on MTurk.

4-5 get some breakfast, Check out Prosebox, write entry if I feel like there’s something to talk about..... also, if meds haven’t worked on migraine take a second one.

5 Do MTurk Work I’ve pulled (clicks away from entry). This work is not real work.... It’s a hobby.... an addiction. I just spent 5 mins of my time and made .25.... and it’s not consistent. The only requester (employer) I really work for drops work every 2 hours on the odds. I work those when I am home with a goal of making $10 a day when I’m home and $1 on work days. It’s a bit fun for me to keep track of if I don’t make it one day or make way more and can take days off or lower the goal. The money I make from this is never counted on. It helps pay for things like the A/C unit and frivolous things I WANT.... currently it’s wrapped up in the A/C until it’s paid....

5-7 I do have a few things that pull randomly (I have an automated program) so I’ll get a HIT every now and then so I tend to stay near my computer. It’s in the dining room (connected openly with kitchen) so I do dishes, laundry and cleanup, socks and shoes are there own thing because it makes me a bity dizzy so it takes longer than one might expect. Also, obviously, write or finish an entry during this time.....

7,9,11- MTurk work....each taking from 5 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the drop.

In between - all the normal household things.....

11-Rocky will usually wake between 10 and noon.... I can’t plan “lunch” (which would be his breakfast) and I’ve already been up 8 hours or so.... so I want to leave the house and get my day started.... and over.... There is usually running to do, groceries and stuff.... I can only handle 2-3 stores and have a memory like swiss cheese. We will likely eat out because I had no idea when he was getting up… there have been times where it’s been 1-2 in the afternoon and in those cases I will have figured out something for myself.... then we will do running before he gets to eat.

1-4 depending on what running we did we will be back home… and I’ll get back on working MTurk if I have not met my goal. Will also be finishing any house projects I started in the morning. If things are all buttoned up I’ll work on crochet between work. If I’ve made the goal I’ll either keep going and start on tomorrow’s goal or go play video games.

6-what’s for dinner? .... hopefully have eaten by 6:30

7 I go lay down.... play video games on my phone for roughly 30 mins and go to bed.

This is a very flexible schedule.... obviously if I have an appointment somewhere (or a date) I abandon whatever is in that time slot.... however, I’m a planner really so I try to hit work times ..... all goes out the window when I get a migraine too.... if it’s early enough I’ll nap in my chair in the living room. I don’t have kids, just Rocky.... and this works for us for the most part…
