I like structure. I like predictability. I like knowing what needs to be done in a given moment based on plans that have been set in the past. sometimes that makes it hard for me to adapt to changing situations, but it also means that I have to be good at creating structure for my life. Now, after a week of blathering, I want to set some form of structure for my blog so that it is easier to know what I want to talk about and harder to skip a day when I needed to write.

The shape of my weeks are very predictable. Sunday I make plans and try to get things done at home. Monday I go out for errands, shopping, appointments, etc. Tuesday through Saturday I go to work. I already decided that Saturday will be my day off from blogging. That is my early day and my longest day. It is also the day where I end so exhausted that I barely want to drive home. Last night I sat in my truck for almost two hours before I finally made myself get moving.

I know the things I want to talk about on my blog. I want to talk about my plans and the things I’m doing. I want to talk about health and exercise. I want to talk about my job and what I’m doing to try to change it. I want to talk about my family and my critters. I want to talk about my creative endeavors, and I want to talk about what inspiration I have found to keep me focused and moving forward in life.

Oddly enough, I just counted those and find that there are six things on the list. That matches the six days that I have chosen to blog. Just by blathering on this morning I have found a possible structure.

Sunday: Plans and Doings

Monday: Health and Exercise

Tuesday: Work and Transition

Wednesday: Family and Animals

Thursday: Creativity (I guess that means I should get back into it.)

Friday: Inspiration or Smashing Bugs

Saturday: take a break

Since it is Sunday and I have just written about plans, I feel like I am already successful. Hooray! This is almost too easy. I guess I can now spend the day deciding how to talk health for tomorrow.
