What is this "regular" you speak of?

For me, it's about no pretension, not aggrandizing my otherwise fairly average life.

Which doesn't mean I'm not, nonetheless, awesome.

Or maybe it means I eat a lot of fiber.

5 big dogs
10+ cats
16 hens
1 (lucky) rooster
4 pigs
an extensive Fairyvillage
Vegetable gardens
Umpteen Flower gardens
A barn
A barnhouse, including Princess Tower
2 scatterbrained girls
2 bois
A very proficient Syr

The most normal thing we do here is have coffee every morning, which I am now. The rest of the day is anything goes, but it all gets done. The evenings are wrapped up with a lovely family dinner for 3 and quiet time (Unless the riding crop comes out) and bedtime before 10:30.

Is that regular?

I ate 3 olives right out of the jar, then a cheese stick while I stood there with the refrigerator door open.

Today I'm regular because:

I ate cold, leftover Chinese food for breakfast.

I had to stay late at work to catch up on paperwork that I'd put off for too long. If I didn't do it, I wouldn't be getting paid.

I meant to get up early to get stuff done, but hit the snooze alarm every ten minutes for an hour, instead.

There's a dead hanging plant on the front porch. I buy one every year, and it always dies because I don't water it enough. I should be prosecuted.

Piggy-backing on that, whenever I make a sandwich I eat it while standing over the kitchen sink.

Regular is sittin' on the terrace with a glass of wine, feelin' the wind shift and watchin' the bats fly over for dinner (I have a woods in back of my house.....Cafe` Batz).........

I think many folks would find my adult life boring or even too demanding.

As a professional scientist I work long hours and travel often. My work is usually Monday-Friday with some travel overlap during the weekend.

I own a small ranch (called a ranchette in Texas). The house and land require constant work so I can be found clearing brush, mowing, or cleaning house in my spare time.

I hang out with family and friends when I can find the time.

I cook all my own food unless I am traveling and have to eat out. I rarely eat fast food.

My daily happiness comes from my home and my two kitties. I am loved and respected by my friends and family.

I am so normal that a friend of 30 years nicknamed me "Ward" many decades ago. Ward as in Leave it to Beaver's dad. Haha!
