    Question What do you do with your days?

    I'm thinking I need to fill my days up with more stuff. I got a new job recently, but the training is very sporadic. I was officially hired last Wednesday, did 3 hours of training Friday, then they called today and said I'm training tomorrow from 11am - 6pm. Even when I'm on the schedule after training, I'm probably only going to be working 30hrs a week so I can keep the job once I go back to school (which will probably be in the summer, spring session is coming up too quickly to be prepared). So I'm still going to have a LOT of free time.

    Here's what my day currently consists of:

    1pm: Wake up with hubs and make us breakfast. We normally eat this in bed together.
    2pm: Go for a 30 minute run.
    3pm - 5:30pm: This is the time we run errands if we need to, or hang out together doing whatever before he has to go to work.
    5:30pm: I start dinner.
    6pm: We eat dinner together. (At the table this time. )
    7pm: Hubs goes to work.
    7pm - 2am: I clean in bursts.. an hour here, 45 mins here and usually get the house about 3/4 clean. I usually eat about 11pm. I watch TV, I fuck around on the internet. I write and play my music entirely too loud. Sometimes, I Skype with friends for obscenely long amounts of time. Either way this whole SEVEN HOUR BLOCK is free time.
    2am: I start preparing hubs' meal for when he gets home. He is usually famished when he gets in. I cook this, pack it up and put it in the fridge. Then I take my shower, wash my hair etc.

    Sometimes after this I go to bed.
    Frequently after this I wait up for him. He usually comes home between 4 and 5am. We usually go to bed together around 5:30am.

    I understand my schedule is backwards, so it makes it hard for socialization. I only have a couple of friends here, and I'm alcohol sober now so I don't go to bars. I also don't like being out by myself without a car after dark (we only have one car and hubs drives it to work). But if any of you could give me SOME suggestion to fill up that huge seven hour block of dead air, that would be GREAT. I know it sounds like I kind of lead a charmed life but sometimes I get painfully bored during that time.

    Is this normal? Do people usually do more with their days? Granted his days off are entirely different, we get out and do stuff together... but the five days a week he does work I find myself pretty bored with the whole routine.

    Any suggestions?

    I usually already know what I am doing in my day, as I like to pre-plan them in my head before I go to bed.

    On days I work, I have about 3-4 hours free, wake up, make food, walk dogs, play and clean after them... By then 2-3 hours go by. Boyfriend comes home, Im usually in the process of cooking or about to. We eat together, spend time for a bit, then I shower and start getting for work. Leave for work, get back home at 3 - 3:30am, make myself food bed by 4 - 5am.

    Days I have school, I like to be lazier, get prepared on what we are doing in class and study, clean a little, and cook. Stay at home mostly.

    Days I dont have work nor school, I usually have something planning, such as food shopping (we go through that quick), study, clean the place, be dumb with my doggies, play games, cook, watch tv and stay on the internet.

    Weekends, usually boyfriend and I have something planned, whether its dinner, or going out somewhere with groups of friends, whether at their/our place, bar or party.. That usually takes the whole day.

    good now i dont feel so self conscious for 'wasting days' doing nothing myself. im on uni holidays so im sposed to just be resting and working, however i know i could do more design / intern stuff.

    on my night/days off i usually get bored enough to wish i was at work or spend my night online or watching a movie.

    right now i got a holiday assessment and an internship next week so ill be flat out

    i like to spend my days at the beach then starbucks / pub and window shopping in the city. also like watching hot little bands play in the eve and hang out / screw them. dont really go out to pubs apart from that and work. my most memorable days are usually those after a night out with friends.

    I've been taking online courses. My library is offering free online courses in various subjects and when finished I get a certification. I've earned certifications in human resource management, internet marketing, project management and technical writing. Right now I am taking classes in music and film to clear my mind and when finished I will start a program on Flash, Quicken, DreamWeaver, Microsoft 2010 and PhotoShop certification.

    Have you considered doing any type of volunteer work? I did volunteer work at a hospital for some time, and I found it very fulfilling.

    12pm I wake up when my bf gets home for his lunchbreak and I eat breakfast while he has lunch
    12:30 I have a quick clean around (there's usually dishes from his snacking the night before)
    1pm I either head up the mountain to snowboard with friends or I browse the internet for dinner inspiration then go run errands.
    4 or 5pm I prep dinner and start cooking so its ready at 6 or 7 when my bf gets in from work
    6 or 7pm we eat
    7:15pm I hop in the shower while the bf cleans up after dinner
    7:30pm I go back to bed for an hour
    8:30pm I get ready for work
    9:00pm We watch crap on tv together for an hour
    9:55pm My friend swings by and we walk to work together
    10pm-5am I work. Sometimes we close earlier, sometimes I stay until 7am.

    My day differs between 4 and 10. Sometimes I go for drinks at happy hour (4-6) and sometimes we go out for dinner instead.

    Sounds like my days. I fill that seven hour block of time with reading, internet, I used to do schoolwork and study, I learned Spanish via Rosetta Stone, I worked out more sometimes, went shopping, hung out with friends, watched movies. I watched every season of True Blood. IDK, lazy stuff. I never drank so never went out to bars by myself-only with friends as their DD.

    Maybe start knitting or writing or something else to fill time like that?
