07:48 pm: The Thing about Routine...
Is that it's fairly boring.  I could talk about work, but I can't imagine anyone would be interested in my efforts to get the stupid report writer to let me create the parameter query the way I want it to.  I could talk about home, but  really how exciting are bills and laundry and the ceramic tile floor that is always dirty?  If I talk about the boy's school then I'd have to confess how hard I'm finding it to come up with gifts for the adopt a teacher.  It's teacher appreciation week so I have flowers to take in tomorrow but really I'm gonna need something else - especially since I completely spaced last month and gave her nothing.  Sigh.  I used to be a fairly organized individual, but lately not so much.  Unfortunately I think I'm maxed out on something or maybe everything.  And telling myself I really need to get it together is about as effective as telling the grass to stop growing.

You know, there's nothing wrong with routine. It gives us structure and comfort and if properly handled gives us space to do the fun stuff in life. The importance is in participating. Why should any of us scorn that which keeps us clean and healthy, feeds our bodies, serves our loved ones, or even gives us a place in the world, however humble? That it can stifle and take over our psyches is definitely a danger. Balance is the keyword. But then, for me, routine is what gets me through the day. If I didn't have my routines, I wouldn't know what to do with myself most of the time. I'm no good at living in the peak moments; they are too overwhelming to sustain.
