In an odd parallel, I was just talking to clairaide about the rituals I'd had when I was working retail. Mine were actually mostly about preparation to go out onto the floor -- putting on my name badge; checking my appearance in the mirror; a shoulder roll and a neck stretch to either side to release tension; breathing, especially one last sigh, to release everything that was extraneous to work; settling my posture; and then finally putting on a retail smile before I opened the door of the back room to go out.

I think I'm missing those rituals, working at home.
