If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.
“But you gotta do it every day. That’s the hard part.”
Ufh, me when i see when the dishwasher is done. YOU AGAIN?
It comes as a shock to me every day that I need to make dinner. My family needs to eat again? So soon?
I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.
I was doing well, making progress on my work projects. Then bam, my wife gets severe vertigo, which leaves her unable to move or look at screens without vomiting. She needs care, our dog needs walking, and work emergencies keep popping up. I don’t resent her, I have my own chronic pain and health problems. I just wish I could jump back into work without staring blankly at the screen for hours. Which I can’t do because I get interrupted by caring for my wife.
Sorry for the dump.
That sounds tough, best of luck
