A technique I developed quite naturally to help me make smooth transitions was to use a word or phrase from the next routine in the preceding one.
The shutdown itself is bad but not devastating. The real danger will come up in a couple of weeks.

If Congress does not approve this budget request, the government may have to default.

The renewed use of lobotomy today is particularly applicable to women: Because they do routine things, it is possible to take away their spirit of revolt, of debate, of criticism, and still leave them perfectly capable of making stews or washing dishes. It's terrible, this tendency to consider women something dangerous to society.
[Mate] really is an overall incredible health drink and on top of it it's part of the culture. It's something my whole family and does and what we have always done.
