My entire Tuesday felt like a rerun of Monday, down to the same exact conversation
Honestly, last Tuesday I woke up, drove to the job site in Everett, and my client Dave said the same thing he'd said Monday: 'Hope you brought your good mood today.' Same tone, same spot in his kitchen. The weird part was his dog, a black lab named Bear, did the exact same trick at 10:15 AM both days, dropping a red ball at my feet. It felt like I was living the same 24 hours over. Has anyone else had a day that just... repeated itself?

Oh man, that's wild about the dog doing the same trick! It reminds me of this one route I used to drive where every single Thursday, without fail, I'd see the same old man walking a tiny white poodle at the corner of Elm and 5th. He'd always nod, and the poodle would always try to chase a leaf. It got so predictable I'd check my watch and, yep, 2:30 PM. It made the whole day feel scripted.

My old neighbor had that same 2:30 walk with his beagle for ten years straight. Honestly I used to find routines boring, but laura211 has a point about loops making things feel safe. Now I miss seeing those little patterns in my day.
