You Know I'm Starting to Feel Better

You know I'm starting to feel glimmers of my old self emerging when I am drawing up lists and writing down routines. This week, I've been drafting daily chore lists (as I begin weaning off having a housekeeper as I have had for some months), which prompted me to look at when we could do daily chores, and thus I had to draw up a new Routine of the Day.

Makes me happy, looks pretty good: flexibility within stability.
