Stuck in a Routine?

Due to the fact that I have been lying in my bed with the flu all day today, I have had the wonderful opportunity to think about random things that I normally wouldn't give a second thought. This leads me to my next question: Are routines a good thing? A bad thing? A necessity? Or something else that could either be construed as good or bad? I know this is a simple question, but I witness people going through the motions every day and I wonder: Is this what I do every day? Do I do the same exact things every day? Well let's see...I guess on work days I do pretty much the same thing. Wake up, make my bed, shower, get ready, think about making a lunch but never make a lunch, stop at WaWa and get coffee (or gas...or both), and drive the 50 miles to work. And then there's the work day which is never the same - thank goodness - and then (usually) I do home and work out. I say usually right now because I'm pretty damn bitter with the fact that I haven't worked out in about 6 days now and I feel terrible about that.

I think because my work days are usually not the same, I do not feel like I, myself, am in a routine. And if we take this to the next level and I think about my life outside of work - I am so far from a routine that I think that may be the reason behind me having the flu right now (which...if that is the case, I'm totally fine with that because I have been having a super duper time).

And then I'll go as far as to take this to that level. If you're in a relationship...the chances of you falling into a 'routine' are pretty good. Why is this? I swear- if I hear another married person tell me or talk about their lack of sex life or boringness in the bedroom- I'm going to just scream! Why does this happen? I mean are we all that lazy? Too tired? That's some BS if I've ever heard it. You should never be anything or have any excuses to not shake things up with your significant other. That's my advice for this post.

Back to the issue at hand - routines. What are your thoughts? And please make them interesting because I will probably be home sick all day tomorrow as well.

Thanks all for reading!
