Well I guess it's official now - the thermostat is not going to be climbing back into the 70s anytime soon. In fact, I think this weekend is the one to get those flannel sheets out for my bed.
We have a regular routine at my house. We have the flannel sheets and the winter down comforter for the really cold months. In the early spring the flannel sheets come off but the winter comforter stays. When it gets really warm at night then the comforter is changed out for the summer weight one. And then the whole routine is reversed in the fall.
Routines are part of the comfort of life.We know what to expect, we prepare for what we know is coming, we know what our day brings - we just like knowing that tomorrow we'll wake up and the sun will come up - we'll brush our teeth and comb our hair. It's the interruption of those routines that bedevils us. Even a pleasant interruption like a vacation can throw us off and it takes time to feel comfortable once again in our nice, established, ordered lives.
I've added a step to my normal routine now - I come down the stairs in the morning, open the window shades, turn on Good Morning America, grab the newspaper, sit on my living room couch...and turn on my new gas fireplace insert to warm up the room. Ahhhh.....
I love routine...
