We been traveling for 2 weeks and have slept in 7 different “beds”. We are writing this blog at 8am on Thursday. Breakfast is a 10 am. None of our routines are even close to our “normal” these days.
We are just realizing how much we normally rely on our daily and weekly routines to keep ourselves organized and both physically and mentally fit.
When we arrived at Debbie’s farm, she let us know that we’d be working every day from 4 pm - 8 pm to “beat the heat”. We don’t really know our jobs until 4pm. Breakfast would be at 10, lunch at 2 and dinner at 9 pm. Whoa! This timing is very different from our 5 something daily start and 10 pm bedtime.
We really like the start of the school year, because the routines quickly align - skating Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday for Paul, Soccer Thursday and Sunday for Gayle and Ultimate on Tuesday for both of us. It’s unlikely that anything like that will unfold for us over the next few months.
It’s our last day at Debbie’s. We’ve just figured out the routine - we think. Debbie is always looking for different experiences for us, so you never know. As well organized and planned people, this is a stretch for us.
We’ve gone for a walk before breakfast everyday since Sunday. Guess we’d better get going if we’re going to keep this routine.
