ordinary day
Same old routine
An ordinary day is one without special events, celebrations, or disruptions—just the usual routine.
The phrase often appears in contrast to extraordinary circumstances: It started as an ordinary day, then everything changed.
Sometimes used nostalgically for times before upheaval: I'd give anything for an ordinary day again.
