DT

I believe it was my second year of college. I've always always always been very habit bound. I like to do the same thing at the same time in the same way. I like that predictability. So I get into routines very nicely. For example, right now it's Thursday at 3:30 and I'm at Batdorf & Bronson. Where I always am. By that I don't meant that I'm almost always at this coffee shop on Thursday afternoons. I mean that every single Thursday at 3:30 I'm sitting ON THIS COUCH at this coffee shop. Because I like it here. And because I like routines. And because at 12:30 on Thursdays I eat (little mama with eggs scrambled, biscuit, hashbrowns crispy - unless they are out of biscuits, which happens, then I have a veggie benedict) at New Moon with Beth. And after lunch we come here. To B&B. And then at some point she leaves to go to school or something. And I say here. And do whatever.

What I just thought of, though, was a little routine I had my second year of college. Downtime. We scheduled it in. Cullen and I had downtime after lunch... I think on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. Downtime consisted of Doing Nothing. It was a time set aside to lie on my bed and look at the ceiling and chat. Or maybe snooze. Sometimes we talked about how many of the 50 states we'd been to (he won) or made up names for other LC students. But we always had downtime. And it was scheduled in. Like, we'd be planning our day out, and would write: 12:30-1:45 DT.

And I miss that. I wish I had room in my scheule, just set aside, to rest.
