Yike! It seems so easy to put on the same pair of jeans I had on yesterday; slip on the same sweater; slide into my pink Anne Klien fur slippers, (I don't dare stoop to the same undies, though) that would be gross....
....no appointments, no clocking in and out, no crisis to deal with at school, no somebody to clean up for and no reason, really, to leave the house. So, how to stay motivated to...
put on my make-up, brush my teeth, maintain a current wardrobe (and vary it occasionally), style my hair, and all the other daily habits that were so ingrained when there was SOME PLACE TO GO, or SOMEONE TO SEE!
I guess the first place to begin would be to look at my current routine:
1. What time do I get up NOW?
2. What do I do first thing in the morning?
3. Do I need to get out of my bathrobe to answer email? (thank goodness I don't use Skype)
4. Do I have to do email at all NOW?
5. Or do I do email to stay in touch and ask my retired friends, what they do in the morning and whether they change their undies?
Interesting.
A new routine. I seem to remember I read somewhere, probably in the AARP magazine, that "old folks" live longer when they stick to a routine.
I wonder, does that mean I need to wear a different outfit everyday?
