My daily schedule

When ther e is a group, I get up at 5:30 to be sure to get everything done and do my exercise before 7 on Monday, and 7:30 the rest of the week. After starting a pot of coffee, I start water for tea (timed 15 minutes so I do not forget it), then check to see if the lemonade and water coolers need refilling, doing each as needed. The last refill is the small cooler used to serve ice. After cleaning the serving areas, I fill the tea dispenser with water and tea. Now it is time to do my diabetic check, then do my exercise video.
When I started walking, I walked outside, up the street. When it got to hot for that, I found an exercise video for walking in place by Leslie Sansone,called Walk Away the Pounds for abs. I walk a mile with her each morning, with a combination of steps, kicks, knee bends, and side steps.
The DVD has elements for two miles and for 3 miles, but my old machine will not skip forward, so I am stuck with one mile. A friend told me there is a device at Walmart which will fix that, but I do not have it yet.
After the exercise, I have breakfast, listen to John's assignment of the work-day to the volunteers, which includes updates on the jobs. It is very interesting, and necessary to know, since my typing assignments can include written updates that may not be easy to read. Then there is a break before going to work at 10: currently, either the thrift shop or the front desk.
After work, if there is a team here, supper will be ready. If not, it is truly pot luck! (Long-termers have access to any leftovers.)
After supper on Tuesday and Thursday are devotions and testimonies when there is a team here. Friday is youth night: Saturday is a movie suitable for all ages. Sunday is a church service followed by soup and bread lunch.
