A Day in My Life // Friday, April 19th, 2024
Hi sweet friend,
Today is over, but I thought I would document it for today’s article by the hour. If you do one of these, send it my way. I would love to peek behind your curtain. Xo.
7:20 AM — I woke up to a dead watch and could not tell what time it was. I scooted past Lincoln, who had woken me up around 6 AM, crawling into my bed (my watch was working then, lol) to check my clock.
Juliette needed to be at school early for a choir breakfast and celebration, so I hurried into my closet and dressed unconsciously in the dark. My hair was still in a leftover bun, so I knew I had to redo it, before walking my daughter to school.
I left my room and entered the living room to find Juliette on her iPad “without permission.” I asked her if she was ready, and she proclaimed she wanted a high ponytail. We found our way to the guest bathroom, and I attempted a high pony, which was my worst.
7:30 AM — I walked Juliette to school. She wouldn’t let me walk her to the gate. We teased each other in the moment.
I came back home, snuck in a shower, got dressed, and took my vitamins. Other kids and hubs were around.
8:00 AM — Drank a protein drink. Interacted with Scarlett, Edward, and Lincoln.
8:20 AM — Headed out the door to get in a 30-minute walk in my attempt to 30–30–30, which I was 30 minutes late for.
Amidst my walk, I found a house that had just hit the market, so I did some content around it.
I edited four videos (and uploaded them), which I trashed because I had already edited and uploaded them back in December. *Cry Face* I noticed this later in the day, after my fifth upload, as I tried to edit the thumbnails. I visited the same neighborhood in December, as I did three times in the last two weeks. I just went back too far, looking for the correct ones.
8:55 AM — Came back home. I asked Edward if he wanted to hang out with me today.
He said yes.
I published an edited Instagram reel.
9:39 AM — Headed out the door, ready to film some new construction houses built by Perry Homes. They are offering some great incentives.
10:20 AM until 11:07 AM — Filmed nine homes.
I edited them as we drove to lunch. I ended up uploading seven long-form YouTube videos, with the last upload finishing at 3:30 PM.
11:50 AM — Ate Velvet Taco in The Woodlands with Lincoln and Edward.
Ordered Starbucks.
12:30 PM—I arrived at Starbucks to find out that I had created an order for the wrong store. I patiently waited while my new order was being made, texting and calling a couple of people to see if they wanted my order that was sitting at a faraway location.
12:43 PM — Took Lincoln to a park.
Filmed some short-form footage for the Jo & Co. Instagram. Earlier in the day, that footage was long-form and short-form.
12:51 PM — Lincoln forgot his scooter and wasn’t digging this park, so we went to run some errands.
We went to the notary to sign some loan documents to refinance our land. We own 11 acres of commercial property around the corner from our house.
I published a previously edited Instagram reel.
1:50 PM— I arrived home to see some open house signs on that house I found during my walk.
The sign said the open house would be from 2 PM to 5 PM.
I patiently waited for 2 PM and for my husband to finish cleaning a counter in our kitchen.
2:49 PM—2:52 PM—I let my husband see me talk to the camera for the first time. I even let him hold the camera. (I have been filming YouTube videos for the last five years and have never let him in the room.) But it took me three minutes to get a three-second intro I liked.
2:53 PM — We walked to the open house. I filmed along the way.
3:15 PM — We came home to grab Lincoln and his scooter, then went to pick up Kaitlyn and Juliette from school.
3:17 PM — The time we walk to grab the girls. Lol.
I spent much of the evening editing footage. I uploaded 2 brand new reels that I had edited.
4:43 PM — I ordered sushi for myself.
5:14 PM — Mackenzie, my stepdaughter, her husband, and two of the missing grandkids came over. I ate my sushi. The kids and husband had leftover chili. (I am still hungry, BTW, and it is 10:41 PM, Lol.)
We played Pictionary.
7:09 PM — Edward and I won at Pictionary.
7:15 PM — We played Scrabble.
I don’t know who won.
I took Scarlett to her friend’s house for a sleepover.
8:37 PM — I got back.
I decided to clean the pantry.
10:10 PM — Here I sat.
Here I wrote.
10:45 PM — Here I am.
I am proud of how well I remembered my day. Lol. The only period I feel confused about was how long it took me to take a shower and go on my walk. Lol.
What did you do today?
With love,
Jo
