Good Timing

[poliphilo]

My parents worked to a routine, with mealtimes precisely timed: breakfast at eight, lunch at one, afternoon tea at four, supper at seven- as in a hotel- so I do too.

Ailz, whose parents didn't- so she doesn't either- finds it mildly amusing.

I say, "But having a fixed routine relieves one from having to sweat the small stuff...."

but - it's all small stuff.

Yeah, but we accord certain things a greater importance....

We have an approximate routine, but it's nowhere near as precise at that. For example our evening meal can vary from 6.30 - 7.15 pm, depending on whether I get distracted later afternoon and how long the meal takes to cook.

My routines aren't quite as fixed as my parents were, but there's a definite structure.

I completely agree with you about the utility of routines. 😀

Right on!
