Congratulations, Becky! Even though we've only met on the internet, I'm so excited for you!
PS: Dream logging can probably wait, but if you want to go analog, a reading light is very helpful for jotting down dreams without waking your fiancée :)
Congratulations Becky! I wasn't expecting that turn, so happy for you. Maybe if I don't follow my routines so strictly I'll meet someone I can date! lol
Wow this was so good Becky. First off congrats. Second off hilarious. Third off ... lemme get back to you
As someone who’s a stickler for routines and feels a similar frustration when the world seems hellbent on screwing with them, I felt seen reading this.
I’m slowly learning that while routines give me the structure to help me function, they can also make me too rigid and miss out on life’s serendipitous surprises.
Ugh yeah it's truly a fine balance between routine and not routine. Sometimes I think we're doomed to constantly be swinging from one way to the other but will never achieve balance. Sisyphus style.
