ROUTINES AND FRIENDS

After I read Woodsprite’s entry I decided to write my own ideas on friends dropping by and routines that I have.
I have always hated when people just dropped by. From the time I was first married I always told friends that they should call even it was from the pay phone on the corner. I don’t like people dropping in. What if I am planning to nap or just busy with whatever. So I never have the problem of friends and/or family dropping by. I think it was a lot more common many years ago when people lived in the same small community.
I have a routine for most of my days but not usually a schedule. I don’t like schedules where you have to do anything at a special time. I do like routines. I think schedules cause a lot of stress and families need to be careful when setting one up. I think children do well with routines but it doesn’t have to be at a set time everyday.
In the morning I usually start off by checking my email and coming to OD. I usually have breakfast right after. I read the newspaper as I eat breakfast. I usually sit at the same table here and at home. On Sunday i will often sit with hubby in the Florida room if we are eating at the same time. Here in Florida I have started to go swimming right after breakfast but the time might not be the same everyday. So WHAT??????????????
When I come back we usually have lunch and in the afternoon each one is different. Many afternoons I have a nap about four to six.
We have supper between six and seven. Most evenings we stay home and I go online or work on crafts. Hubby usually goes to bed earlier. I usually go about ten.
We still have the heat on. It’s so cold. The weather is certainly different and changing.
On the ship I had time to work on my needlepoint.
My  bugs are back in full force. Tomorrow I WILL call a company to get rid of them. Now I also have small black ones that look like ants. Why are they in my kitchen??
My hubby called a company who came today and fixed my toilet. Thank goodness. It was starting to stink already.
So I’ll call it a day and go to sleep.
If you want something fun to listen to go to ITUNES and listen to AVENUE Q. I don’t know if I could include some here or not.
Good night.
