String of Bumps -- But It's Improving

Today isn't running smoothly so far. Hopefully, I got the bumps out of the way early.

My sister asked me to order and pickup GF bread from a local bakery today. They sent me an email that there's a festival all day and no parking in the area. I'll need to park and walk quite a way to pick it up. Ugh. I have a time crunch and this isn't ideal.

My espresso machine needed to be descaled immediately this morning. Never a warning, it just alerts. Fun thing just as I "stumbled to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of ambition."

Package was delivered last night except it wasn't. Such a bother now. As much as I wish I didn't use Amazon so much, problems get fixed easily and you get spoiled. Not as smooth to deal with an individual company. 

UPDATE: Already received a "person" response from the company so it looks like I was wrong and this will go smoothly to figure out. 

That's 3 things I woke up to this morning so maybe that's all. 

Anyway ...

Farm volunteering was very enjoyable. I picked peppers -- 8 varieties. Met a bunch of high schoolers on a school project. Gives hope for the world with smart, environmentally savvy young adults. 

The afternoon hike was really nice. The weather was perfect. I hiked a bit before and after. The hike leader normally goes really fast, but she had new people on the hike and slowed down a lot. It's like Goldilocks. I can't seem to find a hike that matches my speed preference. I'd rather too fast than too slow though.

Can you see it?

Something odd going on
inside this tree. Looked cool.

Pretty day

Afternoon light hits differently

I feel a lot of rush today. I have a bunch of last minute errands to run (I did what I could ahead). I need to prepare for tomorrow too. Celebrating my DIL's birthday and I have the 5K in the morning. That means extremely little time on Sunday to prep before they come over. 

I'm tempted to forego the race, but I'll be glad we went because the weather will be so nice. Hmmm, just realizing I didn't get any information about the logistics. That's strange. Well, #4 troubleshooting this morning. UPDATE: Found the information so I'm all good.

Hope you have a good day. I need to go figure this out since I'm gone most of today. Wish my ears luck at the family gathering hah. Later gators.
