Sparkles

Yeah routine self-management/self-care is something many people are looking for in a partner. At a minimum. Good on you for knowing. I actually live alone now, and I find those things are much easier to take care of without someone else’s clutter adding to the cacophony. Also, where things used to pile up I use baskets.

My job is mentally and physically taxing, so there are a few things I just want to be the same. Soap comes on a schedule, phone when it inevitably expires, etc.

I do like the fact that it is basically the same phone when I end up having to replace it (I’ve had 2). But like…I think people pretending they’re innovative or cool are very silly. I’m buying “sameness” because my brain is tired and needs routine.
