Yesterday morning, unaware of the fact that an article about him would soon appear in the Licking News, Bow was focused on one thing: breakfast.
Usually breakfast starts with grapes. Then that is followed by cereal. But on days very close to my weekly grocery shopping, sometimes we run out of grapes, and I substitute something else. Yesterday, it was tangerines.
I peeled two tangerines and split them into their respective parts and presented them in the same colander I usually wash the grapes in.
Of course, I hadn't actually washed the tangerines in the colander, so there was no water in it. But Bow decided to make sure, just in case. We are all creatures of habit!
I find habits sometimes die hard. Years ago when I moved I started walking to my old apartment one day, and I had to remind myself that I no longer lived in that direction.
ReplyDeleteYes, Julia. I find that, too. So many of my daily chores are performed by habit, that if something is a little bit different that needs to be done, I have to be extra mindful, or else I'll go on automatic.
