Solace in routine
As Drake will attest, I thrive within a structure of many little household routines. I have daily routines and weekly routines. The great thing about routines is that it ensures that the necessary details of life get taken care of on a regular basis. House cleaning, cooking, laundry, home office tasks -- all have their associated routines. I plug myself into the routine and do these tasks almost automagically -- very little thought and effort is required.
It's comforting to be back home and to be back in my normal routines.
