This week's prompt: routine. A routine that you look forward to each day.
This was hard for me. I hate routine. It makes me want to scream doing something day in and day out, over and over. I do not find comfort in it :( And hence, I do not have a daily routine...sure I wake up, brush my teeth and all that. But that's like breathing, you know? I wish I had a disciplined, routine life. And I have tried to get there too, really, I have. But I get this suffocating feeling by day 2. And I go back to living with the flow.
So I had to think really hard, even discussed it with another blogger, and still could not come up with anything. And then I got in my car, turned it on, (no wait, switched it on, there is no key to turn anymore), and heard some strange sound from the radio. I had tuned into the Indian channel the previous day, and they were hideous. Utterly hideous! When the thought of NPR crossed my mind, I knew I had my answer. I clicked a picture before tuning into Michael Krasny's voice :-)
Here it is...my routine! NPR!

NPR is a great one - that is part of my routine as well. I listen to the NPR podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour when I go for my walks. Where do they find all those people with the same vocal timbre?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...haven't heard that one. What time is it on? I only listen in the morning 10:15 to 10:30 and evening after 5:30 on my way back home :)
DeleteLOL..enjoy!! Are you a talk radio listener, or a music fan? We don't get NPR in Canada, the kind-of-equivalent is CBC Radio, which is MUCH less interesting.
ReplyDeleteI listen to both...switching to music when NPR has sports on, and switching to NPR when there is no music I like...
DeleteEnjoy! I so agree with not living by routine.
ReplyDeleteI actually need it, life would be so much easier if I did things when they were supposed to!
DeleteSometimes there are some bad sounds on the radio
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yes!
DeleteGreat idea for photo this week - now you've discovered you actually have a routine are you going to have to change it?!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Diana, I guess I will have to :)
DeleteSometimes I hate routine too, although so much of life is a routine!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo true!
DeleteMy car radio is always tuned to NPR.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its so awesome!
DeleteThat's my routine too! When my car radio works!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know I would be very very uncomfortable without it!
DeleteI had a difficult time with this assingment too as my morning routine is about the only thing that is routine for me. The rest is a guessing game.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos of your car radio!
Thanks Alice! I do well when i make a list...but that doesn't happen too often :(
DeleteGood choice for this weeks post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky!
DeleteLOVE it!! ;-)
ReplyDelete:)
Deletelol! I hate routine, too, except my morning one. It's probably why I don't join clubs or have regular dates with anyone. There was so much routine when I went to work in Corporate America each day that I fight against it.
ReplyDeleteThat makes total sense! With me though...I have never had to build a routine and never did, and now it seems like an alien thought..
DeleteI am so with you! I adore listening to NPR when I'm in the car. Routine, on the other hand? I need it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Lori, I need it to...I just don't seem to be able to manage one :(
DeleteHaha, that would have been my second choice - radio. There is no switching right now, over the summer it is on country :)
ReplyDeleteAha, so that's your summer routine...country music!
DeleteAh nothing more soothing to the frazzled brain then your own personal radio...if my husband and I are in the car at the same time we end up changing the stupid station back and forth : P
ReplyDeleteYeah...same here..he does not listen to NPR AT ALL. But we are hardly in the car together, so problem solved :)
