Documenting a Day

 

Week 2 Word Processor Journal Entry: Todd Ball

For this week’s journal entry using the word processor application Microsoft Word, I will describe in detail the events that took place on Monday 1 April 2, 2024. I will use a numbered outline system paired with descriptions to best capture the events of the day.

1.      6:30am: I woke up 30 minutes before my son had to be awake. This allowed me to go through my morning routine before starting my sons before-school routine.

2.      7:00am: I woke my son up for school and began making him breakfast. This consisted of a glass of water and a sliced apple with a serving of peanut butter (for the protein).

3.      8:00am: Once my son was prepared for school, he walked to the bus stop with his friend. After he was safely on the bus, I drove to the gym for my morning workout.

-Today’s workout consisted of multiple chest exercises paired with shoulder exercises. The entire workout took approximately 1 hour.

4.      9:30am: I returned home and logged into UAGC where I posted two replies to my classmates for their week 2 discussion post.

5.      11:00am: I needed to prepare dinner for the family (I am on vacation which is why I am home during the day). I chose to make smoked baby back ribs for dinner this evening.

6.                     -prepared the ribs by applying a rub before putting them on the smoker.

7.      1:00pm: I logged back into UAGC and continued my preparation for this week’s two assignments. I read the required chapters and reviewed all of the supporting material that would be required to complete the tasks.

8.      4:00pm: My wife and children returned home from school and work. After they were all home, I finished the meal and we ate around 5:30pm.

9.      6:00pm: My wife and I went outside and spent quality time with our children and their neighborhood friends.

10.   7:30pm: My wife and I took out dog for his evening walk around the base.

11.   8:30pm: We put our children to bed and tidied up the house, making preparations for the next day.

12.   9:30pm: Went to bed.

This is a typical week day in the Ball household. During the school week, we like to focus on our requirements and being prepared for the following day. This allows us to reduce the anxiety of getting ready the morning of an event or school.
