    If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.

          It comes as a shock to me every day that I need to make dinner. My family needs to eat again? So soon?

        Honestly, only the second time in my life a babboon has brought a tear to my eye.

      In my mind i keep saying: “if you see something, do something.” Like when i see the glass of water that sits on my stairs stuck in vetween two worlds because i left it there. When i said it, i have to put it away, it’s the law. But now my vrain used that trick against me and when i’m in the middle of vacuuming qnd i see something more interesting i say: if you see something, do something. And i drop the vacuum. It’s a constant battle

        I live with three kids, a depressive, and five cats. I see everything, all the time. But I can’t do everything. And if I try, I’m very late for work.

          I hate to say things like: oh i forgot. Oh i didn’t know. I never forget. I always know. The plant that is slowly dying. I know. I know since christmas.

          The issue is work. We work way too much for how productive we’ve become. We should be working like 20hrs a week

          I rewatched the whole show from beginning to end over my christmas break. I have never seen it whole, and the last time quite literally when it aired. It was frightening how much i am like hal.

    I was doing well, making progress on my work projects. Then bam, my wife gets severe vertigo, which leaves her unable to move or look at screens without vomiting. She needs care, our dog needs walking, and work emergencies keep popping up. I don’t resent her, I have my own chronic pain and health problems. I just wish I could jump back into work without staring blankly at the screen for hours. Which I can’t do because I get interrupted by caring for my wife.

    Sorry for the dump.

    I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.
