Routines and miscellaney

[susandennis]

jawnbc talked about the peril of screwing with your routine - especially in the mornings. I am on autopilot from the minute my eyes open until pretty much I get to this desk. I shower/dress/walk to bus/wait for bus/ride bus/walk to building/get coffee/land at desk - in a semi conscience state. I've got the routine nailed so there's no need to pay attention.

But, today I needed the car at work. So all last night before bed and while I slept, I concentrated on remembering. Plus the big note on my backpack plus the one on the bathroom mirror helped a little. Still, I got to the elevators (fortunately the ones at home, not the ones at work) and remembered that my card key is with the bus pass which is in the backpack which I didn't bring because I didn't need it. Geesh.

I so rarely drive that I'm really no good at it any more. Plus, I'm going to run out of gas if I keep up this frivolous car use. I bought some gas in January - but didn't fill the tank because the per gallon price was ridiculous - I think that was about a dollar a gallon ago.

The credit union is very close to here just not close enough to walk. My equity loan papers will be ready for me to sign at 10:30. I think I'll go over about 11ish and, hopefully, avoid lunch traffic.

On the upside, I got to wear my lime shoes which are just too darned uncomfortable for the regular walking I do on bus days. I need to figure out how to reshape them - maybe in the microwave? They are Plogs and while they sure are pretty, they sure aren't Crocs in terms of comfort. Crocs need more colors.
