Habits

I have a habit of breaking habits. If something's going well, I think, hmmm, I bet I could do that better. So I do the thing a bit differently, and then a bit differently again, until I've lost the point of a habit in the first place. Sigh.

I do have routines though. I'm not ready to call them habits, or compulsions. That could be, well, disturbing. My routines include:
- riding my bike to and from work
- coffee before food in the morning (actually ONLY coffee in the morning)
- carrying a pen with me at all times
- carrying my little black book with me at all times
- carrying a notebook with me at all times
- carrying some reading with me at all times
- picking my nose (who doesn't like a clean-feeling nose?)
- making my lunch and packing my clothes the night before
- correcting other people's grammar
- correcting my own grammar
- tinkering with something endlessly until it's worse than it was when I started
- an apple and a grapefruit (or orange) everyday

Sigh.
I could go on.
Habits? I wish I had some good ones - like that I'd write everyday for an hour at a certain time. Sure I blog five of seven days, but that's not the kind of writing I'm talking about.

Oh yeah, I also have a habit of seeing what's wrong before I see what's right. Wait. Is that a habit, or a state of being? What's the difference anyway?
I am what I am.
I do what I do.
