We are Very Different People

There are four of us here now, and, though we all work in medicine and all live in Portland, we otherwise have little in common.  So, for fun, we imagined what our days would be like were we all the same.  That is, what if there were three Jens, or three Mamies or three of me?  And now we have Nicola, who is Jen's twin.  So here goes:

So What If We Were All Like Them:   Part One: 
The 3 Jen-Nicolas

05:15 am We Jens:  we jump out of bed and stretch.  Then slam coffee.  Then stretch.  Then slam coffee.  Then go for a run.  Then stretch.  Then eat yoghurt.  Then lift weights. Then stretch.  Then go to the pool -- and swim laps. 

07:59 am We Nicolas:  we jump out of bed and stretch.  Then slam coffee.  Then stretch.  Then slam coffee.  Then go for a run.  Then stretch.  Then eat yoghurt.  Then lift weights. Then stretch.  Then go to the pool -- and swim laps. 
 10:00 Lay by the pool and discuss all the things that we would normally be worrying about.  Make lists of these things so that we remember NOT to worry about them.  Though the Nicolas amongst us DO NOT DO LISTS -- but she does have plenty of well-thought-out suggestions.  Then organize these into categories -- several times.  Swim some laps.  Stretch.


11:30  Back to the house for salad -- no dressing. 


12:00 (Noon)  Stretch


12:30 Back to pool.  Add items to the but-we're-not-worrying-about-these-now list.  Read a computer manual about how to more efficiently manage digital photos to save time (the manual ends up taking 58 hours to read).  Share tips on efficiency in general.


2:00  Hike in the desert.


4:30  Stretch


5:00  Chef arrives to cook for us.  We order salad.  (Nicola channels Portlandia and asks about the growing conditions and soil content in which the lettuce was grown -- as well as the possibility of contaminants in the ground water.  And exactly how many minutes ago was it all harvested.)  Lively discussion about the need to start a recycling program at the resort.  Someone gets a pad of paper.  Someone starts writing.   Pretty soon petitions are printed for distribution among resort guests (200 copies).


7:00  After dinner walk, turning off lights on the grounds "since no one is up this late anyway."


8:00 Discuss activities for the next day, organizing then reorganizing them to maximize efficiency.  (All the while doing ab workouts on our respective exercise balls -- Jens and Nicolas.)  Redo the list three times.    Alphabatize it for cross-referencing ease -- and upload it to our smartphones, (just the Jens).

9:00  Go to bed, smiling, "What a fantastic day!  We got so much done!  Man, why can't everyone be more like us? It's not that we're perfect but we just make so much sense!"

9:05  Get up to stretch.

9:15 Go to bed.
