It's been a while. Sorry, again. No this time it is literally time that has gotten away with me. You see DH has left his full time nursing job to partially retire. I say partially because he's actually taken another position as a professional wrestler! I still shake my head at that one. So my routine is kind of up in the air at the moment as I refigure our schedule. I had the routine down pat. Monday through Friday it was up to make his breakfast and lunch while he would get in a morning workout. Then off to work he'd go( hi ho, hi ho). While he was gone to work I'd had some project I'd work on: garden, baking, house, sewing, errands. Then I'd have wrapped the project up and be settling down for the day by the time he got home. All I'd need to do is fix dinner and my day was done. Weekends were a slow start as we'd enjoy coffee together in the morning. Maybe we'd work on something at the house together if needed, but often times we'd go out, mostly to antique stores, or just for a drive.
Now that schedule is up ended and we're both trying to navigate this new routine. It hasn't really become a routine yet, and not sure if it will while he's touring. Yes. He tours. So I have one routine when he's home and one routine when he's gone. I get a lot done while he's gone. Not because he doesn't help when he's home, but because I want to just spend time with him when he's home. Plus when he's home I have to stop what I'm working on for meals and such. Contrary to what one may think, I do skip meals if I'm engrossed in something. I may stop and grab a piece of fruit or cheese if I'm getting hungry, but not stop what I'm doing. With hubby home; I have to actually stop and figure out a lunch. It's a worth while trade off. I miss him when he's gone, and that's another reason I get so much accomplished. When he's gone I work to make the time pass.
So needless to say Being out of my routine has thrown other things out of a routine; Blogging, baking. Even calling my mother! I know! See, you're in good company. I usually call her once a week at least. I did finally get a chance to call her yesterday. I said "did you forget me"? To which she replied " almost, but not quite". In my defense, DH and I went up to her house last week for a breakfast with her and my other siblings.
So I'd love to be able to share some frugal tidbit I've been working on, but I'm too scatter brained to think of something. Right now we're cleaning things up to put up Christmas decor. I've got my tree up, just not decorated. That will come Thanksgiving night. Then the rest of my Christmas decor will follow.
One thing I can do is share some links to previous posts about preparing for the holidays. So here ya go!
