Does anyone else feel the need to get fully ready for the day, even when you have no where to go and will see no one?
I have a fresh manicure, and I've been getting up at my normal time to put on makeup and fix my hair all week, even though I have no place to be and no plans. Something about staying with my routine helps me to feel like I am more productive....But let's be honest, I'm also the gal that wears a little bit of makeup almost every day---even when camping. Not because I am high maintenance, but because it feels wrong to do otherwise. I'm not into trash bag style. It is weird for me to get up every day and put on sweats/pjs/lounge clothes. I'm not complaining, it is fine, it is just weird. I think I get that from my mom. My aunt told me a story that my mom used to do that, get up and put on a full face of makeup just to sit on the couch....I didn't remember her doing that, but I believe it and I think that is why I am inclined to do the same. It is crazy how many things are hardwired into our behavior, that make us who we are, that program us into our norms and routines that we get from our parents but we don't realize it. Today's post is harder to commit to, I keep walking away and coming back...looking at the news, reading articles, I went for a walk in the woods. I'm fearful of what might happen to my friends, to my community and the world in general in the next few weeks. My thoughts are all over the place as I process what a real quarantine will look like. Am I prepared for that? I don't know but I'm trying to wrap my brain around it.
