My Daily Habits

For the past 9 months my house was being renovated so it was pretty hard to keep a routine or habit because things were always changing. You would think that a construction crew would just show up and work, but the crew often had questions about things, or they needed me to not be in a certain part of the house…….but the ironic thing is that I couldn’t really leave the house for long because they the crew had questions. Thankfully I normally spend a lot of time working from home, and when I do go to my office, it’s towards the end of the day and the crew was able to work without needing to ask me things.

Last week my house was finally done, and this past week I have not had anyone but my family in the house. I spent the week trying to get used to not having people in my house all of the time. It took me a few days to remember that in the morning I like to water my plants out by the pool, and put water in the pool. I was able to get back to a regular workout routine. We have a gym in a room behind the garage which was hard to access with all of the work to the house being done, but this week I did get back in the habit of working out at a certain time every day. I remembered what it was like to be able to eat breakfast without having to hurriedly get out of the kitchen so the guys could work on things, and actually, we didn’t even have a kitchen for months…….so we were hiding in a part of the house that was not under construction until the end. I spent a lot of time cooking on my stove in the corner of the living room.

So after months of not being able to really have a routine or daily habits other than my daily habits consisted of being sporadic and unorganized, and fleeing from a construction crew, I am finally able to be normal, and eat a regular breakfast, take the dog for a walk every morning, and start working by 10:00 am. I am able to water my plants, make my tea, and sit in the kitchen and check my email.
