Underrated Monotony

Part of what was so difficult during the evacuation was the necessity to make decisions with little accurate information in a rapidly changing and escalating situation. We also sensed that a whole lot was hanging on our minute-to-minute decisions. Once we did get out, we were still deciding day-to-day where to stay each night and generally, "what to do."

This has left me thinking, "I miss monotony!" There is a lot to be said for routine, and boredom seems a little novel at this point. I doubt I really wish for that, but we should try to pencil in some mental time-off somewhere along the way.
