Routines



It’s funny how easy it is to build up routines without realising it you already have hundred of little ones running your daily life. Getting up in the morning at certain hour to go to school or work, having your cup of tea a certain way, that morning shower, choosing what you are going to wear, etc. We don’t even notice them until the slightest change or alteration makes us revise what is wrong in the time frame.

This happened to me two Thursdays ago. I went to the cinema with a couple of friends. When we finished watching the movie, like always, we comment about it on the way out. A familiar voice which I couldn’t recognise was on the background. I turned around to see who it was; to my surprise I saw my eldest sister, Itzel, talking to one of my friends. I've forgotten she was there with me. It was an awkward sensation, two different kinds of familiar but not quite in their right place. It was good though that someone that I love so much and since I while back has not been part of my daily life (though I think about her a lot) was included in it. I haven’t realised until then how much I missed her. It was nice having her here with me even though it was for a short time.

No me gusta la palabra rutina, aunque no es fácil escaparte de ella, fue la culpable de que ayer llegara tarde al trabajo .. le valió madres el horario de verano!
Oye que bien lo de tu hermana, las fotos estan chidas :-)

J: Yes, longer hands would be helpful, but it was fun taking these pictures, it took many tries to get one we liked and included both of us.

F: I considere myself to be a little disorganized but I discovered I have so many routines which I didn't noticed.
