This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt for today is courtesy of John Holton. Check out his blog here!
I’m finding myself more and more becoming a creature of habit, and I’m comfortable with that.
Some of it comes as a result of COVID. I used to go to the grocery store whenever I needed something. But when the lockdowns started, I chose a day of the week, first thing in the morning, and got everything I needed for the entire week in one go.
And I’m still doing it almost four years later.
But it has gone beyond that.
Because I always go to the same store, there are always the same things on the shelves. Which has made it difficult to get inspired to buy different things to eat.
So I pick up the same things with little variation every week.
And most of the time, I’m comfortable with that.
This decidedly comfortable post is part of Just Jot it January! Want to join in? Just click here to get to the prompt and drop your link. It’s fun!
Thanks again to John for the prompt!

I love the comfort and familiarity of routines, it makes stepping out of my ‘box’ a little easier. π

We pretty much eat the same thing. It makes shopping and coming easier.

It does make things easier. I hate following a list because I inevitably end up writing them in the wrong order for the aisles. π

We don’t eat too much so I try to eat the food with the nutrients we need and end up eating the same thing all the time.
