In a rut of a busy day...

To me, "rut" suggests a tedious or dull day, not a busy day.

I also don't see what purpose the word "literally" is serving.

Thanks, Mr. Wordy.

So, could you please use "in the rut of a day" for me in a sentence or two? I'd be grateful.

Tom

PS: I might be phrasing it incorrectly.

"In the rut of a day" is not a natural expression. A more natural use would be, "Every day I go to work, come home, watch tv, go to bed. I'm really in a rut."

Thanks, Khoff...

Please tell me some good word(s) for this blank. Now I understand that "rut" is not suitable here.

In the ____________ of a busy day, he forgot to call her.

Mr. TomPlease tell me some good word(s) for this blank.

That's difficult without knowing what you are trying to say. Can you give some clue about what sort of meaning you want?
