9 p.m. — R. helps me remove my NuvaRing (not sexy, I know, but I've had trouble doing it on my own since I had hip surgery and have had trouble with other birth control methods.)
6:30 a.m. — I've been snoozing my alarm for about 30 minutes, but my husband, R., and I compromise and agree to both get out of bed. I brush my teeth and start prepping for the day. I make my green tea with ginger that I pack in a tumbler to take with me to work and pack leftover Smitten Kitchen braised ginger meatballs in coconut broth from last week. I eat leftover Costco Chicken and Swiss Rollers for breakfast while watching the news with R.
9 p.m. — R. wants a sweet treat after dinner, so we each have a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich that we have leftover from this weekend. He then finishes getting ready and leaves for work. I check out the edits that R. makes to the spreadsheet we use to keep track of our finances and text him to let him know I love the reformat . I browse social media and eventually make it to bed by 11.7:45 p.m. — I am finally awake.
10:45 a.m. — Back from the gym and running behind. I pack leftover curry for lunch, make my tea, take a shower, and eat potstickers while watching the news. I also throw some brown rice in the rice cooker so it will be ready for dinner tonight. 8:00 a.m. — R. calls to make sure I'm up. He was on a search warrant this morning, so he stopped for a bagel and coffee afterwards with a coworker and treated . He's coming home before I have to go to work! I use that as incentive to get out of bed. I eat some frozen chicken tenders that I microwave and go to the gym in our building. I walk at an incline for 45 minutes. I had a hip surgery several years ago and have had to completely revamp how I work out .
8 a.m. — I finally get out of bed. I make myself breakfast and eat while watching the news and going through e-mail. I realize it's payday! I got paid for both my main job and my moonlighting gig. Most of my paycheck gets automatically deposited into our various accounts, which are used for our living expenses, our savings, and to save for my estimated taxes. I decide to put a bunch towards my credit card bill, which feels extra large this month and put some towards saving to replace R.
7 p.m. — It's DC restaurant week and one of the many anniversaries we celebrate today. We are trying a Mexican restaurant that I've had my eye on and splurge a little extra since it's our anniversary. I get a watermelon mezcal cocktail and R. gets a Diet Coke since he has to work later. We order guacamole to share and then I get the elote, braised lamb, and churros. R. gets tacos, tamales, and a chocolate torte. All the food is really good and we're pretty happy with our choices.
