What do I do tonight? What are you up to?

[december2020]

DH is working night shifts, Toddler DS passed out 1-2hours earlier than usual (bracing myself for the early morning wake up...). The dog has been fed and watered (and obviously walked). I've already had an afternoon bath with a face mask and bath bomb (thank you DH).

Now I've got an unheard of bonus 1-2 hours extra me time and I don't know what on Earth I should do with it (I don't want to squander it endlessly scrolling and wondering where the hell 2 hours went - which has happened before). So I've poured myself a glass of wine while trying to decide.

What are you doing this evening? I hope you're having a lovely time (and hoping I can steal an idea or two).

Watching Hawkeye on netflix

Movie night

Selling Sunset new season on Netflix

Usually I paint after dinner (working on a paint by numbers), but I had a drink that went straight to my head. Now I'm swearing at my husband's laptop which is refusing to turn on at all, and will probably do some knitting later on while we watch a movie. I've made myself a scarf for next winter which is nearly finished and, I have to say, looks amazing.

Lie on the sofa and listen to Demon Copperhead on Audible.

In pre-toddler times I would read or do some evening gardening. These days, I use spare free time for sleeping, or at the very least, lying on the bed listening to Cabin Pressure.

I am writing up my weekly log (I am a foster parent) then I will be sorting out my expenses while drinking a glass of wine. I know how to live the high life!

I would have a bath and fake tan.

but now im eating a very nice homemade lemon drizzle cake and a large cup of tea

Drinks in the garden after a BBQ and debating what to do with my life tomorrow (hence my similar thread) 😅
