5:30 p.m. — Just when I think I can start winding things down at the office, I get an email asking me to do some research for a deposition we're preparing for. I do another couple of hours of work and finally head out at 7:30...
7 a.m. — My first alarm goes off, and I'm absolutely exhausted after working past midnight last night. I snooze through five more alarms, accidentally sleep a bit more, and finally get up at 8. My fiancé, M., is making his breakfast in the kitchen, and I weave around him as I make my typical morning breakfast — low-sugar instant oatmeal and a cup of coffee. I have a lot to do this morning and want to get to the office earlier than normal, so I scarf it down and get in the shower.
11:30 a.m. — I've been working nonstop this morning on revisions to a document that's going out to the client today — finally time to pull myself away from work and shower! I have lofty goals of taking a “lunch break” and going to the gym sometime this afternoon, but it's not looking like it's going to happen.
7:45 p.m. — We get home and M. makes us some Boca “turkey” burgers and roasted Brussels sprouts. I open up a bottle of rosé I bought earlier this month and pour myself a glass. M. cracks open one of the beers he just bought. We catch up on the next episode ofwhile the food cooks. I'm not very hungry after our earlier outing, so I just have a plate of Brussels sprouts. Next, we move to HBO Now and look for a movie to watch. We settle onand both end up crying through most of it.
12 p.m. — After a work emergency, I finally get in the shower. I'm just relieved I didn't have any major plans today, because I'm going to be glued to my computer for a while. M. takes out the trash and cleans the kitchen while I continue working. He runs out to get groceries at Trader Joe's and comes back drenched in sweat. The heat wave shows no signs of dying down, but I ask if he wants to go out to happy hour later this afternoon, just to make sure I get some fresh air today.
8:45 p.m. — I get home and vent to M., and then get in the shower. Afterward, I put away a load of laundry and then heat up some of the porkless bites, cauliflower rice, and broccoli for dinner. M. and I each get a small glass of rosé to finish our open bottle. I grab my laptop to resume working, and we turn on. This was my favorite show growing up, and I talked M. into watching the whole series with me this summer . M. makes me a tequila lemonade and pours himself some bourbon.
10:30 p.m. — A couple of items from the Nordstrom sale have arrived, but the rest are in “getting ready” purgatory. I try on the pencil skirt I ordered, which looks super awkward in person and will be going back. M.'s North Face jacket fits him great, thankfully, so at least we know one item we ordered wasn't a bust.
7 p.m. — My inbox has been quiet for the past 15 minutes, so I think I'm safe to head out. I walk home and enjoy the gorgeous, non-sweltering weather. At home, I load the dishwasher and toast a pretzel bagel for myself as a snack. I answer a few more emails and try to psych myself up to hit the gym. M. is at a work event tonight, but texts to ask if I want anything from Chipotle — he's been craving it and wants to get it on his way home.
