☀️ A “Boring” Day in Los Angeles, California

Back when I lived in Los Angeles, my “boring” days consisted of:

• Doing laundry

• Shopping for groceries

• Getting my car’s oil changed

• Cleaning out my cluttered closets

• Trying to figure out what books I would give away from my overstuffed bookshelf

• Cleaning out expired food in my cabinets

• Getting gas

• Being stuck in traffic trying to do anything

• Cooking and cleaning my kitchen

• Online shopping

Seems “normal” maybe, but as it turns out your normal is what you decide it is.

Here’s what my days look like now:

🇯🇵 A “Boring” Day in Kyoto, Japan

I wake up at 7:30am, and hop on the bus by 8am to get to my yoga class. The buses are clean, quiet, and always run on time so I don’t have to worry about taking care of a car or paying for car insurance, gas, or maintenance.

While I’m at my 9am yoga class, our home here in Kyoto is being cleaned by the cleaning crew. The cost is included in our “rent” for our stay this month.
