#rhythm and routine

[ourlittlehouseinthecountry]

What does it really mean to live with intention? Is it a perfect morning routine, colour-coded planner, or saying no to everything that doesn’t spark joy? (Not quite.) In Part Two of my new blog series, The Beginner’s Guide to Slow and Intentional Living, we explore what intentional living actually looks like in real, full lives—especially in midlife. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. It’s: Saying yes because it aligns, not because you feel guilty Creating gentle rhythms that reflect your energy and season of life Choosing what feels like you, not what looks impressive from the outside If you’ve ever felt like you’re rushing through your days, or living by someone else’s script, this post is a permission slip to pause, reflect, and choose again. All three parts of the series are now live on the blog, and you can read them together—slowly, in your own time. Whether you're brand new to this lifestyle or quietly returning to yourself, this one’s for you.

excuse the quick sketch, for this post is less about the art and more about the idea behind it... i have this headcanon from when geralt's company was trekking with the beekeepers through the wilderness:

although they were initially very grateful to have three meals a day prepared for them, they quickly got sick of having honeyed porridge served for all three of them. "Everything was sticky from the honey, even the young women." milva began to get nauseous at mealtimes, and cahir, usually ravenous at mealtimes as befits a strapping young lad such as he, even turned down a few bowls.

regis, however, was quite happy with it.

because, as is mentioned later in the book, about saovine traditions: "The spirits of the dead (...) should be given honey and groats, all sprinkled with vodka…" i imagine some confusing night where he went into a villager's hut to drink blood, but, it was around saovine, so they were even expecting someone like him to arrive and to even be looking for such a thing. prepared for such a situation, they handed him some kasza with honey. he didn't really know what to do with it, but they instructed him on how to eat... it was surprisingly pretty good, so he started pulling this on all the other villages, like hey i;m "undead" (whatever that means) do you have any "porridge" with "honey." yeah also put a little vodka on it while you're at it.

so honeyed groats turned out to be the first human food he ate, and over time, became like a comfort food to him. now he has it without the vodka though

Good Morning, Dear

Milan loved watching his Partner wake up. Henri were adorable when he was still fighting to get a hold of reality.

When Milan had been younger he had hated walking up early. It felt lonely and boring being awake when everyone else was asleep. That he did wake up early no matter how late he had gone to bet hadn't helped either. Being awake and not really, tired but unable to sleep again was in no way a good experience. More often then not it had taken him at leas t one cup of coffee to be of any use, so he had been unable to read or do some woken before anyone else had gotten up. Yet staying in bed hadn't really been an option either, what was he supposed to do, to antsy to actually lie still but not really awake enough to do anything else.

And when he had finally gotten himself out of bed, out of the limbo of not yet being ready to face the day while unable to slip back into oblivion, he had always been faced with the fact that non of the places he had ever lived had walls thin enough to do anything louder than avoiding creating floor borders and hiding in corners, trying and once again failing to read or work on paperwork.

So Milan hated waking up early, it was an annoying quirk of his that he just couldn't getting rid of, no matter how little he had slept or how exhausting the day before had been. No if he lacked sleep it would take him until normal people woke up to actually be able to take a nap again. Or it had been until he had found himself with Henri.

Henri was the first of the people he had ever been with that hadn't found his habit as if not more annoying than Milan himself. Instead when ever Milan moved to much again, or turned one of the lights one so he could read something Milan would either sleep though or half open his eyes smile at his partner murmur something that was mots of the time in comprehensible enough the blanked of sleep still covering Henri and just fall back asleep, if he even woke up. Henri slept rather deep when he wasn't yet ready to wake up, different to Milan Henri's sleep rhythm seemed to be dictated but only two things, his alarm clock but only after he had hit the snooze button as often as he possibly could and how longe it would take him to actually be well rested.

Henri's way of sleeping had started to make Milan happy to wake up so early for the first time. Henri's sleep rhythm was not only very different from Milan's but how he woke up was too. He would wake up slowly, not in one hit that forced him to wake up like Milan, no Henri woke up in away tat was like someone slowly turned a lite dimmer to it's brighter stetting. First he would turn and search for Milan's warmth or anything else he would grip onto like an octopus than he would start murmuring things often still obscured by sleep, after a few second he would become aware enough actually comprehend his surrounding and either, if Milan had already gotten up turn on his beck and sprawl out like a star fish before turning on his side and getting up. Or he would slowly look up to Milan and give him this adorably drowsy smile of his before burning his face in the crook of Milan's neck and sighing, before usually asking Milan about what ever he was doing while wanting for the least of the world to catch up with his annoying sleep rhythm. On some memorable occasions though when Milan had already gotten up but noticed on time that Henri would wake up soon and bring Henri his coffee to bed Henry would make still sleepy grabby hand as the cup and make one of his adorably exited noises, eyes still have closed.

Milan loved watching Henri wake up. It made waking up so early worth while. The fact that he also got cuddles out of the deal was certainly an upside, but just getting to watch Henri just slowly getting ready to face the world would have been enough.

Note

This got a little bit shorter, had things to do last afternoon and evening so i stared this basically after getting up. That's my excuse.

I thought about adding a kitchen scene describing how their mornings are if Milan doesn't catch Henri waking up but i kind of couldn't figure out how to fit that in so i didn't, maybe i will write it an other time.

I hope you have a nice week and a good weekend!

I'm looking for a post that should be pretty easy to find but I can't seem to do it for the life of me and then I remembered "hey! There's a person for this!!! :D" So here I am

The post is a picture of a surveillance camera pointing at a sign that says "this area is under constant surveillance"

a rather easy one here. i went down to the Search Bar to ask Google for any post that had this exact quote mentioned, and they handed me a screenshot of what i was lookin' for. from there, i asked for posts from the last blog in the chain that included the quote they said in the post, and i got the link rather quickly, no questions asked. so, i filed it away.

here you are! a simple one here for you! have a great day!
