What does a single do when the day is over and they come home. My day was over by 10:30pm. since then I have been scrolling on this forum because I had coffee late so I can't sleep yet I am bored, of course that is after the evening prayer. What is your evening routine like? And for the Married too what is your evening routine like?

Come home. Play video game. Go to bed between 7pm and 8pm. (I'm up later than that tonight, because of life stuff.)

Or just listen to stand-up comedians on YouTube.

Or sit out on the carport and read the Bible.

Saturday night, that's a different matter. When I get off w*rk I kill a few hours, then head for the auction house. I'm there from about 4pm until they close, which might be 10:30pm or maybe after midnight.

Sounds interesting. My Saturdays are so filled. I go to church by 6:30am and spend the whole day going from one activity to the other till it's 6pm, after which I go home and start mounting the Sunday PowerPoint. sometimes I sleep by 11pm crushed. Sundays are just my best days. After church I sleep then chat. I get to work only if I have too many assignments.
thank you dear for sharing your evening routine with me

The only thing I collect is music, and these days that can fit on a chip smaller than my pinky. (MicroSD cards are soooooo weird!)

Aside from that I don't really collect anything. I don't like stuff lying about, clutter that I never use.

Yes me too , no ornaments etc , everything in cupboards tidy , housework is soo boring so I do everything I can to minimise how much of it I have to do , dusting etc 🥱 hate it but like a clean place so it has to b done , loud music helps me to forget that I'm cleaning .

i am married. 3 years after i met my wife, i started to watch tv. you may find that strange. well, even as a little kid, i didn't go for watching tv. probably had something to do with my poor eyesight. & i remember saying to myself when a teen: "i'm probably saving watching tv for when i'm older". yes, that's what happened. so after dinner, which is usually 5:30, i work at accounting, play chess, catch up on phunnneee stuff, watch the yankees, study police auditors, investigate & search for any new jfk assassination facts, play wordle & connections with wifey, look into CC or watch tv. btw, if any of you are interested in the jfk assassination you must find someone that already knows a lot of facts because if you start reading just anything, you most likely are going to waste time. somehow find someone that is an investigator already & into it for decades. nearly every article out there is a fabrication, a half truth, or an outright lie.

He's a good one.

I heard him on a podcast talking about making comedy and the reason for making it. He says he is openly making a product to sell. He's not trying to be edgy to get attention. He's not trying to develop a platform and then use it to push a message. He is just making a product that he hopes you will buy so he doesn't have to work at a regular job, because it turns out he kind of sucks at those.

Fortunately he is pretty good at making comedy. I'll watch any special he puts out.

I'm married and approaching my golden years. The kids are grown up and gone. In the latter part of the day I cook dinner for the wife and I, then I'll go downstairs and watch a movie most nights. After that I go to bed. Bed time is usually around 8 pm. I start the day early and my productive hours (if I have any) are in the morning. Once to bed I position the nasal cannula so it'll feed me nearly pure oxygen, then I read from the Bible, check a few websites, then read from a book I have on the phone... almost always Christian fiction. After that I pray some and hopefully go to sleep. When I was young and single, my evenings were mostly as uneventful as they are now, with the exception of a few years when I was a member of a Country & Western dance club (Fairbanks Country Kickers). Club members would go out someplace where we could dance on weekends and I believe it was Friday nights that we taught a dance to whomever came. We also did dance performances where we would do sometimes complex choreographed routines to Country & Western music.

Hi Edith! Great thread!

I am a dreaded morning person through and through. :cool: I used to have a co-worker in college who would... Not exactly SAY she was going to slap me, but, she would groan and tell me I was way too perky to be around in the morning. :LOL: Well, sometimes. I'm a bit older now, and it depends on how bad my insomnia is acting up.

I was just telling some friends last week that if they had social events or clubs open in the morning, I might just be tempted to go! :pMy ideal time to wake up is about 4:30 AM, and if I "sleep in" until 6, I feel like the day is slipping away from me. I like to get a few things done before my day "really" starts if I can.

But this also means I tucker out fairly fast towards the end of the day. If I do any cooking, it has to be in the morning, so that I can just pull out something ready-made when I come home. I leave all my low-energy tasks for the end of the day -- mostly catching up on reading and research, sometimes correspondence and possibly a craft if I have enough brain power left.

Even if I'm around other people in the evening, I tend to retreat to my own little corner. I need that time to recharge my battery for the next day. I've lived in different time zones and have worked every shift there is, but my natural inner timing always resorts to being a morning person. If I'm visiting with others, I can temporarily shift my schedule to meet theirs, just not for an extended amount of time.

It's a good thing morning people are so rare, and that most are working during the morning -- otherwise, I'd probably be rounding up all the other morning people and causing a whole heap of trouble -- all before noon. :cool:

(If we do all our trouble-making while everyone else is only half-awake or sleeping, we have a better chance of getting away with it!) :p

Anything with a good story. KOTOR, fallout, stalker, first person shooters, isometric rpgs, flight sims, even racing games if they have a good storyline.

I wish I was an earlier riser like you. I go to bed late and get up late just to rush out and truly I get to sleep well in the early hours of the morning.
