Digital Analogue: Back in Galesburg

June 30, 2007

Back in Galesburg

After a brief vacation up in Palatine, I'm now back to work in Galesburg. I've decided to divide each day into four parts:

House work
Work work
Social time
TV and knitting

in that order, though possibly omitting one on a given day, with hopefully-not-too-distracting bouts of internet interspersed. I started to fall into that routine before the Palatine trip, and it worked really well. Today was not off to a great start, as I had set my alarm so I could go to the farmer's market, but accidentally left my phone on vibrate, so I missed the market and didn't get up until 12:30. But since then I've been trimming bushes and hacking at weeds in the yard, and now I'm going to mow the lawn. Then, despite the Saturday-ness of the day, I'll try to get some work done at the office. We'll see how long I can sustain this. :)

Welcome back from your Palatine getaway! It sounds like you’ve put together a really balanced daily structure — I love how you’ve carved out space for essentials, productivity, and relaxation. That kind of rhythm can make such a difference. Missing the farmer’s market because of the silent alarm is totally relatable, but it seems like you bounced back quickly. Trimming bushes, tackling weeds, and mowing the lawn definitely count as a solid start to the day! And getting some office work in afterward, even on a Saturday, shows real commitment. Routines always take a bit of adjustment, but yours seems thoughtful and sustainable. Hope it keeps working well for you — and that you get a little time for TV and knitting later. 😊 - https://www.fortworthdrywallcontractor.com Posted by Fort Worth Drywall Contractor Services at 1:33am on 21 Nov 2025
