I Need a Routine
Now I can't say that I truly relish getting up at 5:15 a.m, leaving for school before daylight and returning home after dark. I really can't say that I enjoy making calls to find subs between 5:30.a.m. and 6:30 a.m. or keeping my line open until 9:00 p.m. at night in case I have to make more of those calls, but I can say without a doubt . . . I NEED A ROUTINE.
I do enjoy being home. I've always enjoyed my home and all the domestic duties, but as I get older I don't see the need for undertaking all the chores I once did. I don't cook the lavish meals I did when Farrah was home, and isn't it odd that I don't notice the dust as much now either. When all the basic housekeeping duties were complete, I used to enjoy painting a room, cleaning out the garage, etc. Not any more. I haven't become lazy as I am still at my happiest when I am working on something, but my likes and dislikes have definitely changed.
This morning I vacuumed, dusted, watered the flowers, and cleaned the screened in porch. I was done with this by 9:15 a.m. Since then I've made a couple of phone calls, worked on some school stuff and ate more BBQ Chicken, but mostly I've just walked around the house accomplishing little else. I told Jeff (husband) that this summer I've had an overwhelmingly desire to take a nap around 2:00 p.m. His opinion is that if I feel like taking a nap, I must need one so therefore should take it. This doesn't make sense to me since I don't feel the need for a nap when I'm at school.
I guess I haven't learned anything new. I've always known I need to be busy. I need to have a plan or goal or project. I need to be accomplishing something . I don't like waste; wasting time, wasting space, etc. So to keep me from feeling like I've wasted the afternoon . . . I'm going to go eat more chicken.
