Now, the title might suggest that I am rigid with regards to routines and habits. In some ways, I am. In some, I am not. What I am talking about is that often we are doing some things regularly. We are planning and implementing the plans. Then, due to whatsoever reasons, there is a break. What happens is that we try to go back to that routine which seems suitable for our plans and objectives. I have been through this in the last 2-3 weeks. Now, I am trying to get back in groove again. It is not easy, yet worth yearning for. By the way, how is life going at your end? Image : Sora (ChatGPT Image generator) generated- resized appropriately

Things are going fine here. I can walk without pain and can bend over without pain as long as I am using my cane so I don't fall down.

@DaddyEvil How about the condition of your eyes. Do you have to visit the doctor often?

@DaddyEvil That is a big challenge. Are you having a lot of medicines for your eyes' problems?

@DaddyEvil That means at times it would be difficult for you to read newspapers or work on Mobiles and Laptops? I hope that medication helps you a lot.

My routine hasn't been disrupted lately, thank goodness. I'll be disrupting it myself in a week or so as we're going off in the motor-home again.

@JudyEv I think it would be close to Spring season when you go on a tour again?

@JudyEv Yes, the floods have been unprecedented. Hill states have felt the maximum impact but in Plains, Punjab has also faced a lot of floods situation. Even areas near river Yamuna have seen impact and evacuation.

I am one of my daughter's houses holding down the fort while she and my son in law go to out of state football game. So I will be out of my normal routine when I get back home and have a lot of catching up to do. Not to mention that this is not a normal routine here getting up and moving at 6 am to get granddaughter to school! Life is good though!!

@kareng Yes deviations are fine for a few days. Yet if it extends, then we are not going to be happy anyways.
