Day 262

I am grateful for a routine.

Our summers are loosy goosy, we do something different everyday, and each day feels like a Saturday. The dates go by in week-long chunks, and I'm never sure when I wake up what day it is.

With the school year started, I'm back into a routine, and it feels nice. It won't be too different from the last four years, but it is going to be a change from knowing that Jylle lives here. I'll adjust to that, of course, and a routine will help. I would like to slip in something different occasionally though--a visit to a friend, new recipes, letters to certain people, and tackling all those pesky boxes in the basement. I'll find a good balance.

Thank You, Lord, for the guidelines of a routine.
