Well, I'm only in class or at work two days a week, so I spend an outrageous amount of time trolling FishLore. I wake up at 7am most days, spend half an hour doing chores (mostly fish and cat related...), then I check FishLore for new posts, unread posts, and new replies, all of which takes a couple hours to read through. Then I pretend like I have a life for the rest of the day, but really I'm just waiting for new posts. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings I go to class & think about composition for a few hours, then I come home and check for new posts on FishLore. I *may* have a FishLore addiction...but at least I'm not the only one, right? lol

When work is slow, I can play on the interent. When work isn't slow, I try to catch up at home Also, I only work M-W, so Th & Fri I try to keep up with posts while doing water changes, laundry, cleaning house, etc. I can't pay bills while on Fishlore anymore. Last time I did that, I underpaid my mortgage by $300. Oops.

Two days out of the week I have to be at work at 4:30am so I get up at 3:30am to get ready. I check fish lore then for 15minutes. I work until 3pm then I can come home and play on fishlore
Two other days out of the week I go to work at 9am and get off about 7pm so I check in before and after
Then on my days off I can't sleep late so here I am again usually about 3am

tony I really enjoy my job and once I get used to getting up I just seem to wake up. Also as you get older (and not growing) you don't seem to need as much sleep

I assume you're talking about weekdays here, since weekends are anything goes for me. What day of the week I have class can switch every nine weeks, so here's a generic version of my schedule:

Four days without class:

- Wake up 5:00-5:30
- Arrive at work approx. one hour after waking up
- Leave 8.5 hours later
- Run any necessary errands
- Do homework/study/watch TV/read, all with a computer on hand to check FishLore anytime I get bored
- Bedtime around 10:30

One day with class:

- Wake up 6:30
- Arrive at work at 7:30
- Leave at 4:00
- Class 5:30-9:30
- Bed whenever I get home

My job is in the IT field, so I'm paid to spend all my time in front of a computer... that gives me leisure to check FishLore throughout the day when I need a quick break (within reason).

hmmm..this might get complicated...lol.
I wake up around 7:00 a.m. I check my email, fishlore, facebook. I wake my girls up at 7:15 on Mon, Weds, and Friday because my oldest has preschool at 8:30. We all eat breakfast watch Dora and then I get all of us ready, which getting 3 girls ready is not easy considering 2 of us are diva's (it isnt' me). Get her to preschool take the other to the park for about an hour. Come home do snacks, play, dress up, barbies and and babies...lol..Start lunch get oldest at 11:30pm do lunch and then at 1:00 it's nap time...(thank goodness). I check email, fishlore and facebook Plan dinner and pick up. When they wake up they watch a show and have a snack. I run errands when I can and I try to do some kind of art or craft with the kids each day. It's easy when it's a special day....like...National cake day..We make cake...YEAH!!!..You wouldn't believe all the special days there are until you plan crafts and activities around them..Youngest has dance on Monday's, Library story time on Tues, both have Awana's and play group on Wednesday, oldest has dance on Thursday and Library story time on Thursday. and Preschool Mon, Wednesday and Friday. When all the activites are done we do dinner, spend the evening with them and do bath, storytime and bed. Me and hubby spend some time together then I'm off cleaning, planning and organizing again, then I get on fishlore and veg out. . Soooo I guess it just depends on the day..lol.. The days we have no preschool I let them sleep until they wake up and we continue on with our day...Really I have to look at the Calender every night before I go to bed to prepare for the next day, there's always something going on and honestly I'm thankful for every minute of it and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm thankful and blessed!!!.

Here is how my days usually go:
I get up around 11:30 AM
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to English from 12:30 - 1:50
I have class Monday-Thursday 7-9:20 PM
In between classes I either have to work at the car wash or mow some lawns (but usually I'm found at home on the computer)
Bedtime is usually between 2:00-3:00 AM

Plenty of busy, free and organized people here on FL! haha My days are pretty simple I can say, I USE to be able to go on Fishlore like EVERYDAY! But now I'm only allowed to go online on weekends. But sometimes, on a weekday I would sneak online just to see how everyone's doing on FL and try to help while I can Yes, Iloveengl, FISHLORE IS ADDICTIVE!

Good morning.
My life is devoted to Chef, my fish, dogs and cats, Fish Lore, friends and neighbors 24/7/365. I'm always trying to come up with ways to improve my home (as most of you know). I'm a big fan of change where my home is concerned. New additions, rearranging furniture, painting and just overall up keep of the house.

Chef and I like to cruise in the golf cart up and down the neighborhood. Usually ending up with an impromptu party, dinners and just having fun. I've mentioned that I live on a creek bank so boating is a big part of our life as long as the season permits.

I too am very fortunate and thankful for the time and the life that I have. I'm treasuring every moment of it. You never know when "the" day will come.

I'm able to sign onto Fish Lore anytime I choose to do so. I'm an early riser so for me to be here at 3am is nothing out of the ordinary. Chef and I share the computer and he has his forums he likes to visit as well.

Ken

I usually get up around 7 and make coffee Mornin to the dog, let her out, then it's fish wake-up and feed time, school lunch, breakfast and homework. At 8.30 I leave for the pool and drop my boy at school on the way. I swim 3-4km every morning unless I've been called in for a shift at the pub. I open up at 10 and don't have time to swim those days. I'm out of the water and showered by 10.30 which is when I shop, run errands, whatever needs to be done. Otherwise I have my days to myself and I leave fishlore open and check periodically between washing or gardening etc. Then at 3.30pm, Zach gets home from school, we go back to the pool, I coach til 6 then come home, cook, eat and turn the lappy on again while we're in front of the t.v.

Pretty cruisy life compared to many on here, I must say. It's cool to see what people do with their day. I feel really lucky to have the life I do, but it's interesting to see that even those who have huge schedules still manage to make some time for fishlore
