Share Our Lives ~ A Day in the Life/Summer Edition

 Good morning!  I am joining up with fellow bloggers for this month's Share Our Lives series.  

Today is highlighting a Day in the Life/Summer Edition.  I highlighted a Tuesday, which is a typical go to work day for me.  Honestly, this looks pretty similiar to a Tuesday any season of the year!

Starting the day with a great reminder, "The battle belonds to the Lord" 1 Samuel 17:47.

If I am up early enough, I try to read some blogs in the morning, but often, I don't get around to reading blogs until later in the day. My alarm goes off at 6:45, but I usually awake prior to this time.

This is my usual breakfast...a Built bar, which is often followed up with either/or fruit, sourdough bread, or yogurt.

I try to light a candle most mornings as I am getting ready for the day.  It is a new habit I have formed this year.

My brief morning routine is to wash my face with water, roll over my skin, add serum, under eye cream and moisturizer.  Afterwards, I applied makeup and a simple hair brush and style.

I had a long day ahead of me, so I wore my sneakers with this dress to work.

I took my morning vitamins...

and then I unloaded the dishwasher.  With Brook home, I run the dishwasher 2-3 times a week.  Running and emptying the dishwasher is not a daily task, but I had time this morning to unload the clean dishes and left some out to finishing drying.

I left for work around 7:15.  Normally during the summer when traffic isn't as bad, I leave a little later, but I had some work to get done early this morning at the office.

I listen to podcasts usually on my way to work.  I will actually be blogging about those later this week!

This is my 2nd breakfast, lunch and snacks for the day.  I had yogurt, banana, apple, Simple Mills almond flour crackers, grilled chicken, and a protein drink.

Here is one side of my desk.

And here is the other side.  I have a candle warmer and a fan on my desk!

A part of my job is ordering things for hospitals and random things for our office, so I get lots of Amazon packages at work too!

Because I had a lot on my to-do list this day, it didn't take long for my desk to look like this!

We have a weekly staff meeting and early afternoon, I recorded a podcast.  Part of my job is the recording part and scheduling our guests.

Typically, I am off mid afternoon, but I stayed until 5pm this day because I  had my last night of volunteering to serve dinner to campers and staff at SOS, the ministry I mentioned a few weeks ago. It was better to stay out all day than drive home and back to the dinner.  In between work and going to volunteer, I stopped by Smoothie King to get a drink for dinner.

I headed to SOS and helped serve dinner.  

Afterwards, I had some trouble going to sleep with my mind racing, but finally was able to get some rest after a long day.

Thanks for following along!

I will be back tomorrow with a brief weekend update!
