T-Minus One Day

It's been an entire year since I've taken a full vacation. 

We are T-minus one day until Maine and, as usual, I'm all up in nerves. It's like I forgot how to vacation for anything more than a few days. There are exactly zero things to worry about -- yet, my super worry power is ruminating on a few maybe-this-will-happen things. This trip is easy, and laid back, and fun.

BUT ... what if that storm becomes a problem? And how am I going to sleep well? And what if I get my period after 3 months? What if our hiking luggage gets lost? What if the dogs are unsettled and our dog sitter decides she won't sit again? What if packages get delivered and we have no one to bring them in? What if my outdoor potted plants die?

Lord, make it stop. As soon as we get to the gate tomorrow, all my angst disappears ... but until then ... geez. 

Anyway ...

Yesterday was a full, fun day. 

Somehow I got everything finished and spent 6 hours playing with my grandson who has named me "gee-gee" until he can say granny. FYI -- he says grandpa perfectly haha. Friends stopped over to look at 3 houses on our street (2 new builds and one other for sale). Fun to check out the neighbor's house that's on the market. They hung for a quick drink and picked greens from the garden -- I love sharing the garden. (Just added that worry to my list -- what if it bolts while I'm gone?) 

I ate my weight in delicious local watermelon. It was the best of the year. I've never had a watermelon this late in the year. My stomach is wonky this morning, duh.

I'll be back after vacation with a roundup of all things good and any of the worries that came true {knock wood}. Hope you have a good week. Later gators.
