It was back to the old routine this morning, preparing in the usual manner for work at the usual time. Except after a month's break I'd forgotten the routine, so it wasn't routine anymore, if you see what I mean. A useful reminder that what we take for granted shouldn't be taken for granted - one of the many lessons of the fasting month.
I suppose I'll forget the lesson just as the routine becomes routine. But I know it's worth at least striving to remember how unusual the usual actually is.
