Breaking from routine

What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

I’m sure for a lot of people there are things we could agree on that skipping it doesn’t hurt, and vice versa. Medications, for example, you don’t skip. Unless you forget. Like I did this morning with my intranasal spray. Oops!

Then there’s things I skip on purpose. Weekend rolls around, and I know I’m not leaving the house or need to be presentable? Shaving, and occasionally showering. Don’t get me wrong, skipping a shower can be gross. However, I have a strong sense of smell, so if I can smell myself? Right into the shower. My roommates might not notice, but I will. Shaving, though? Yea if I can skip shaving I will. Every so often I might consider letting the beard grow out, but I usually am okay skipping on my days off, especially if there are three more in a row. Just like next week with American Thanksgiving. If I look okay enough on Wednesday, I’ll consider skipping shaving before work and just look a smidge more rugged, because then I can skip shaving for five days!

I’m sure many people can relate to that, right?
