8/5: pleasing routine

Since mid-July my days haven't followed their usual course, and it was very good to have a change. Today, though, some habits returned, like old friends: in the morning I doodled and wrote postcards, in the afternoon I ordered some books and translated some Latin, and in the evening Chris and I went walking at the track. There were other, less routine-bound elements of my day, as well, but these little things helped to tether me, and I am grateful for that.
