meme-fail.

So. There's a meme going around with "the typical day."

I...

don't have one.

I get up somewhere between 5:30 and 7, depending on the day, how the cats are feeling, or where I am. I take my meds. There is coffee.

That's about the entirety of my typicality. After that? Every day is a response to what's needed. Sometimes that's all day at the desk. Some days that's running around town. Some days it's a combination of things, and a lot of riding in subway trains. There tends to be reading and tweeting and cat-snuggling in here, too. Some days I go to the zoo, and ponder the giraffes.

Then I come home. Or I go somewhere else.

I'm usually asleep by midnight. Unless I fall asleep before 10pm. Or I'm up until 2.

The typicality is that wherever I go or whatever I do, I have my smartphone, my netbook, an actual paper notebook (or a printout) and pens. And I work. Every day. Because that's what it means to be a successful freelancer.

And, on Thursdays, I finalize my Practical Meerkat column for BVC. Which is what I have to do now.
