Friday 5 for January 10: Ritual de lo Habitual

1.  What’s a bad habit you’d like to get rid of? 

~~ Being a mess! 

2.  What’s a good habit that’s taken you really long to establish? 

~~ Getting use to waking up early to be at kidney dialysis at 5:45 AM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays

3.  What’s a good habit that doesn’t take much effort but others seem to envy? 

~~ It's not one I do, but making and saving money for some lucky few doesn't seem to take much effort, no effort at all, but it's a very enviable trait -I wish I had it!

4.  What kind of unusual rituals do you go through in daily life? 

~~ Making sure I write 750 words every day!

5.  What’s the weirdest ritual you’ve heard of in others? 

~~ Before going to bed every night my dad would say his poem. It's not something I grew up with, he just started saying it the last years of his life

"The time has come to say good bye

  The bee must kiss the butterfly

  The sparkling dew must kiss the grass

  And you my friends, ...farewell"

I miss that!

Friday 5 For January 3: Useless

1. What item in your house is pleasantly useless?

~~ The only thing I can think of is my laundry carrier. I have to go down two flights of stars in my condo to do laundry, we don't have an elevator,  and I use a walker and cane. To carry my laundry I use a garbage bag. The laundry carrier could be fun for a new cat, like it was for my Smokie, when I finally get one!

2. What in your house was used exactly once and will probably never be used for its intended purpose again?

~~ I live in a small condo, everything is used or out it goes!

3. What situation do you continue to attempt repairing ‘though your efforts appear to be useless?

~~ Certain relationships that have totally fallen apart with people I keep telling myself I'm crazy about

4. What are your thoughts on belly buttons?

~~ I like them, they're cute!

5. What food item at your grocery store keeps calling out to you, ‘though you have no idea what you’d do with it?

~~ There isn't one. Being so low on funds I only go in with a list of what I want at that very moment, if I "have no idea what I'd do with it", it isn't going to be bought
