Good morning, I hope you are well and that you had a wonderful week wherever you are in the world.
For today's video, I wanted to share a little peek inside my daily life during the work week.
If you don't know, I am NOT a full-time artist yet and work part-time as a nanny,
working almost 30 hours during the week.
And then the off hours is when I devote to my art business and content creation.
This video will share a pretty average and normal daily routine for me during the week,
and I hope that it gives you a little insight on what it's like
juggling two jobs of this sort and working towards becoming a full-time artist and
being self-employed.
I like waking up slow in the morning so often
I like to watch something peaceful or read poetry to accompany my coffee.
After about an hour or so, I will head to my studio to get some early work done or plan for my day.
Then I need to finish getting ready and head out the door for work for the day.
So today's Tuesday, which is payday, so I have to go get groceries on grocery day.
So I need to go to Target and Trader Joe's.
So that's where I'm off to first before I go home, but I will take you along with.
So let's go!
So
my husband and I will either eat dinner at the table or
sometimes if we are into a good show, we will watch an episode while we eat like we did tonight.
After dinner, we take Cedar for an evening walk and enjoy the fresh air.
Around 7 is when I'll head back into the studio and catch up on some more work.
This particular evening, I had an order from my shop to package up.
after about an hour or a little longer, I'll turn off the lights and begin getting ready for bed.
To wind down, I'll often watch a couple episodes of a show as well as turn on a quiet,
peaceful instrumental playlist while I read a chapter of a book before turning in for the night.
