New routines
are hard to start, especially since I currently do not have a job or anywhere
to go. I am still exploring the city of
Grapevine, but that will get boring soon enough. My previous routine was to wake an hour
before everyone else, feed the animals, make my coffee and sit on the front
porch watching the deer walk through my yard; sometimes stopping to see if I
had anything for them, watching Jasmine stalk birds and most recently watching
a house being built on the lot next to us.
When everyone else woke up I would then take a shower and do all the
things necessary getting ready for work, what clothes to wear, picking out
jewelry and shoes. I am not a makeup
person and luckily my last few jobs did not require me to wear it although I
did on special occasions. I’ve never
understood the whole makeup thing.
Reminds me of a Billy Joel song, “The Stranger”: “Well we all have a face
that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves, when everyone has gone……”
My new routine is to wake up, make coffee, sit on my balcony and while looking for a job on the internet (has anyone ever found a job on the internet?), watching the squirrels scramble about and people walking their dogs and leaving for work. I am trying to remember what I did when we moved back from Reno to Bulverde and I did not work for 3 months. I did have a yard to take care of, I cooked a lot, my house was definitely much cleaner and I did a lot of shopping. This situation is different and I am different. I have no yard, I have cooked a little, the apartment takes 10 minutes to clean and although I do enjoy a good day of window shopping, I am not looking for “things” anymore. What is that U2 song?, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
