Routine or Lack there of

Sticking to a routine is difficult for me if school isn't involved. I was born with a happy-devil-may-care unstructured way of doing things and I have reached the point where nothing gets done. Then, I make the pathetic, haphazard "plan" of doing the unfinished thing tomorrow. A nice way of putting it off. So, I woke up turned on my laptop and started typing this up.

I will saw that my reading routine is the only one that's stuck through the years.When the day is done I get a shower, put on pajamas, make a cuppa and snuggle with a book. There are nights, however, when I fall asleep while reading in bed. Sometimes my full cup of tea is forgotten and when I go in for a sip my faces pinches when the stone cold liquid reaches my lips.

I've also started making my bed; it feels good to have that be the first accomplishment of the day. Getting up the same time everyday is a challenge I have yet to master since I read and do some writing until 1 am.  Well, that's it for now, I have to get dressed for work soon. Sitting in a housecoat and washed out Spongebob pajamas is a luxury but I have to start the day properly.

Monthly Steep 1

I picked this title because thinking back on the past month is, for me, like preparing a warm fresh cuppa. (Also that last word I just used, I really enjoy, so get used to that one.) I sit back and wait while the richness and occasional bitter, escaping tea leaf soak in. But I never let it ruin my teatime, so the unsavory bits don't ruin the over all month.

January has been easygoing and restful. I:got an email and its already been three months since starting my new job and love it. Five books have made it into my Already Read category this month and I purchased two new books; Stalking Jack the Ripper and It Girls. At the moment I'm reading Esperanza Rising.

Today is the first day after my YouTube and Instagram fast and I've come to realize that watching YouTube took up so much of my time and since quitting it for a while, I don't feel like the day has been wasted. On top of that I've been squeezing time in to write which kind of feels like I'm starting from square one again, but what can you do?
