gift wrapping

On this first day of December. I began going into the kitchen at 9:00 a.m. I had eaten some fruit with fruit dip while drinking my hot cocoa. After doing so, I then had two pieces of French toast. At 9:40 I then picked up the kitchen. At 9:50 I then went to the laundry room so as to bring my clean laundry to my bedroom to put away. At 9:53 I then brushed my teeth before shaving. At 10:00 I then cycled for twenty minutes. I then continued with my workout back in my bedroom with my weight exercises. After doing so, I then did the stretches that I have been doing since my last stroke. At 10:45 I then put my laundry away before doing my back stretches, which also include lef exercises with ankle weights. I then opened day one on my advent calendar. At 11:00 I had sat down to make out some Christmas Cards. At 11:50 I had put in my eye and nose drops before writing out some more Christmas Cards. At 12:35 I then wrapped gifts until 1:15. I then went into the kitchen so as to eat a bowl of soup. At 1:25 I then returned to my bedroom so as to brush my teeth before wrapping some more gifts. At 2:45 I then layed down to rest and slept until 4:40. Once I had taken a shower, I then went into the kitchen so as to eat dinner. At 5:20 I then returned to my bedroom so as to pull up my blog And  to type of my day.
