Habits 4/24/2008 8:40:51 AM
I found myself thinking about this. I am such a creature of habit. A little thing like this got my whole day off to a slow start. Of course if we had no habits we probably would have no plans and our whole life would be havoc. Today I woke up as I always do. I have the same plan each day. I go into the kitchen, turn on the coffee and feed the cat. I did that. Then I get myself dressed and prepped for the day. By the time I get downstairs again the coffee is ready and I simply want to sit back and enjoy.
Today, when I picked up the coffee pot, it was empty. It seems the outlet had gone dead and the coffee never got started. Well, I cannot go a morning without coffee so I moved the coffee maker to another outlet plugged it in and turned it on. This meant I had to wait a while for the coffee to brew.

On the other hand, it pays to be just a little flexible. Now I am faced with getting an electrician out to see what happened to the outlets affected. This is another break from regular routine.
When I was in the hospital last month the worse part of being there was the fact that they would not let me have my coffee. I really don’t drink that much; just a cup in the morning to get me started. Habits, habits, habits….. How do we live with them?
