Groovy

Well...I lived through the holidays. Maybe we'll manage to get the tree down by March. Heck, we didn't even get it up and decorated until a week before Christmas, so maybe it deserves to be up till March.

I'm working on getting back to routine, and it's easier than I expected. I didn't get to sleep till 2:00 a.m. this morning, and had to wake up at 5:30. I ought to be wiped out, but so far, I'm okay. I'll probably pay for it later today.

Last night, the husband and I were talking about getting things back to normal again. He said I wouldn't have too much trouble getting 'back in the groove.' I told him, "That's because it's a rut, not a groove. The trouble isn't getting into it, it's getting out."

Ever drive on a road that is rutted from massive amounts of traffic? It doesn't matter if it's paved or not, both kinds of roads get rutted. You ever try not to drive in the ruts? It's damn near impossible. Your tires just want to drive there. It's just easier to stay in the well-worn ruts, than to concentrate on getting out of them and staying out of them.

Grooves are all right, till they become ruts. Gotta watch out for those easy grooves.
