Debate Resolved and New Books

I mentioned to hubby that my aunt invited me over today.  He thought it was a GREAT idea -- go figure.  He said the safest time to see her and he didn't see any problem with my plans.  Okay (!!)  Today is a visit with my pups and my aunt.  I'm going after lunch to quicken the visit as well as put no pressure on her with a new knee.

Gibbs Garden walk got postponed because of the weather and our available days this week.  That said, maybe Friday will be okay (my friend wasn't available) and I think I'll check it out myself.  Why?  Because going with someone is clogging the works and I need things I can do outside.  Getting out of the house is a big priority for my mood and getting into nature is even better.   Forcing myself TO DO THINGS.  I'll join and go regularly to walk around the miles of walking trails.  Change of scenery will be nice.

It's one of those deals -- one day is $20 or one YEAR is $50.  It closed for the season in December, but opens in early spring.  I'll get to see the bulbs in bloom -- I've been planning that for years and never got there.  The drive is 10 minutes on a pretty country road ... what's not to love about this.

Books.  I've been on such a good book streak and it's awesome.  

This book is FANTASTIC -- I can't recommend it enough.  Loved it from minute one.  Heart warming and beautiful.




Started this last night -- 180 from above, but I think it's going to be good.  Suspense, fun, twists and turns.




I'm getting caught up on my reading list and that means more room for others SOON.  I want to read 2 more books before I start "collecting" again.

The Etsy wall art came.  Custom with the type of dogs and the lady silhouette looks like how I wear my hair.  Goldendoodle on one side, yorkie and poodle on the other.  My dog loves.  The writing is all definitions of dog things.  It's in my office with all my dog photos.



I have a few other things that came and I'll post them this week (don't have pictures yet).

Today and tomorrow I have plans, but then the week is empty aside from a grocery store run.  If I can't get to Gibbs Gardens, I need to come up with something to do.  It takes a lot of thinking to figure out a way to get out of the house during a pandemic when the weather isn't cooperating.  This has been a key to helping my mood and giving me the feeling of forward motion.  Hubby comes home for the weekend, but golfs with a friend on Saturday and is watching football all day on Sunday.  Nothing for me in that mix so I need to find ME stuff ASAP.

I have a life coaching call tomorrow.  I'm not sure what we'll talk about, but something helpful always comes of our conversation.  Looking forward to it.

In other good news, I'm wearing the pjs I got from Tommy John's for Mother's Day -- tank and joggers.  OMG so comfortable.  The tank is still a little less than flattering, but I love the set.  The joggers are the best.  Lightweight material and POCKETS.  The waistband is comfortable and the ankle cuffs are just tapered enough.  

Have a happy day.  Stay well.  (Both are sentiments I need today too!)  Later gators.
