It's my automatic response to anything. In part from being a single working Mom for years and years. That was the only way to get work and home and leisure and school all synched up. Also the desire for permanence, of course! Now that I have fewer responsibilities, I am trying to lay off the hyper-planning a bit. The yoga helps. T: Some talking is going on. Interesting to hear what people think and what they wish. C: I’m a planner and a scheduler, too. It’s my automatic response to anything. In part from being a single working Mom for years and years.

I guess it's the root desire for permanence in an ever-changing world. It sucks when a good streak comes to an end, but they always do. The key, as usual, is just to keep on keepin' on each and every morning. You do a great job with that. The rest is just monkey mind in action! Either way, sorry for your loss.
