Routine, and Holding Onto

 When I was younger, I never thought

about routines. I guess there

were some but nothing that I 

can say I really stuck to.

However, these days, there

are a few routines.

One of them is my morning

routine. I get up these day and

fix my coffee, if I need it.

I say that cause I really

don't drink it for enjoyment, I 

do for headaches.

If I wake with one, I have 

coffee. I get headaches easy.

Anyway, I head to my corner

in the couch, I surf FB and I blog.

Misty however, has developed her

own routine. Waking with me, 

sometimes like yesterday morning

she woke me. I went to the kitchen, 

put coffee on, and once it was done

I grabbed the laptop. 

Leaning back on a pillow, 

coffee beside me, laptop on 

lap and I started my FB'ing.

With comments to make, 

replies to get to, 

I usually end up closing the

laptop, cause there is no way to

do those things with her

curled up on my chest.

I close the laptop, 

finish the coffee and lay

my head back while I rub

her on her favorite spot, 

the neck. About the time

I doze, usually 20 mins or

a little more, she wakes.

When she wakes it is not a

gradual thing like people, eyes

opening slow and coming to life...

NO, Misty wakes and jumps

right into taking a bath.

Now awake again, I let her do 

her thing, then all of a sudden, 

time to get off mom!

Girl is a total mess.

Meanwhile, Lily has gone back to the

bed, and I am awake, blogging.

Do you things in your life that

go back years, that you might

wear or use every now and again.

Well, this cup is one. I use it 

this time of year of course.

One of my dearest friends, 
Debbie Brewer gave me this 

one year with my Christmas gift.

We worked in Printing together 

for years. I have not been in Printing

since 04.

Now, look at these. When I worked at

the Hermitage, Home of Pres. Andrew

Jackson, we had a man that furnished 

jewelry to the gift shop, and I fell in 

love with these jade earrings.

I was 17.

When looking at my earrings

to wear for Thanksgiving, I 

saw them hanging there, since

I was wearing green, I decided to wear

them. 

Not sure what I gave for them,

would be interesting to see

what they are worth now.

HAHA...

wait a minute.

I looked online and I 

found these.

Well look at that. 

Etsy has them for 43.00 but on 

sale now for 32.25. 

I prob did not give over 10 bucks 

for these.

Mine are about two years

from being 50 yrs old. 

WOW...

What is funny, this is not 

stuff I tried to hold on to, it just 

happened. 

Are you holding on to something

that you have had for years and 

you just realized how long you have

had it?

What about a routine, do you have

one, two, maybe more?
