And how coincidental! My favorite Christmas decoration is a ceramic tree that MY mother also made in a ceramics class. I think it was already in the shape, but she assembled and painted it. It was always my parrots' Christmas tree. I unpacked it a week ago. My husband ordered a new bulb for it. We have a convertor plug (from US to European). Attached is a photo I just snapped.
What do you do to keep your life feeling as "normal" as possible? |
Oh how cool! Love your tree.
Hmmm 🤔 I’d say I stay as normal as possible by keeping to a rough schedule. I have a night time routine, watch Stephen Colbert, ( sometimes Seth Meyers) go to bed, take meds, eat cheese, read, turn light out. I usually wake before the sun but stay in bed until it gets light. Have my glass of chai. Those are the things that stay the same week after week. What varies is in between the morning and evening. Since I rarely go anywhere the mask wearing is limited. Also helping the normal feeling is feeding the cat, getting our meals on wheels, wheel of fortune at 6:30pm Monday- Saturday on Sunday mum has here TV feed of a Lutheran service then her radio feed of her church. Yeah I’d say the many routines we have help establish a sense of normalcy. It might seem boring but I’m doing very well with this. I have my art classes I sign up for when they have them, my aqua classes I haven’t been attending lately, the real reason is I’m a bit worried about the covid because they are now so big and nobody masks up. But my books ground me. The library is a god send. Wow! My life is very normal now! Who would have guessed!
Speaking of all these routines, …. If you could choose to do anything for a day what would it be?
