looking for a routine

Earlier today, I had an idea for a post - and now it's gone.

Let me see if I can find it by typing some various thoughts...

I'm going to put myself on a schedule. Instead of getting up when I decide to get up, I am going to get up every morning at the same time...regardless of how I feel. I will get up, have my breakfast, have a shower, and by then, Jason will be home from his morning shift at work, and we will go for a walk. If I am not up to it following my shower, that's ok. If I need to go back to bed after my shower that's ok too. That is the schedule I'm going to start with...I have to start somewhere.

I finally settled on this decision because I am still grasping for what my "purpose" is. My newest diagnosis has created some bumps in my life...the "new reality" that I was just starting to get used to. Instead, it feels as if my life just got more complicated.

I mentioned before that I have been struggling with not being able to work, and not being a mother either...what am I if I am neither? I'm anxious to figure that out! I know...I know...it will just happen...but I do believe that we have some control.

If I have a routine, maybe I will feel more important. Not that I don't feel important...purposeful is more like it...a contributor...in control.

How is that for "various thoughts"?

my light fluffy comment is...maybe your routine will be coming to the lake with me on wknds ;p

but while i want to be upbeat and positive for you i have tears welling up in my eyeballs...at work, of course! maybe part of that is hormonal but mostly because...well...because it so sucks! and i hope that you find your purpose. your purpose as far as i'm concerned is to be a caring and loyal friend that i can talk to about anything...but this isn't all about me is it.
