I need to organize my life properly so that it runs smoothly. Already good intentions (since I got a new shower rail) with jumping in the shower on waking have fallen by the wayside – as my son bathed and caused a leak into the room below – so the bath seal needs fixing, and until then I am mainly having baths – this is terrible for my morning routine as by the time it has finished running I have started being distracted by the computer! I must fix the seal and in the meantime trust my showering technique (angling the jet of water toward the shower curtain so it doesn’t flood through the suspected gap at the bath edge) which never caused a leak before he and his half hour (!) shower with the jets pointing straight down caused one.

Putting my clothes out the night before was working for me too, and this too keeps getting forgotten lately. WHile it worked it meant I was jumping in the shower for ten mins, drying etc, jumping straight into my clothes. Then I would have breakfast and put together the kids’ lunches which I had prepared the night before (another thing that gets forgotten some days).
