Masks?!?!

Wow -- totally surprised by the mask announcement yesterday.  Masks are such a security blanket for me, even after being vaccinated. 

This is going to take a hot minute to adjust and I'll be wearing masks inside for a bit.  I'm curious how quickly national stores will lift mask requirements.  I'm happy to continue wearing them to the grocery store and such.

Heading into Asheville today -- despite no gas available either here or there.  And, family has told me we are eating at a restaurant tomorrow.  I said outside, they said inside is fine too.  Big step for me.

Hopefully, gas situation gets back to normal this week.  Because of the hoarding (how do you hoard gas??), pump stations are still empty.  

As usual, my worries are amplified by my hormones.

Anyway ...

I did a thing yesterday.  Joined Brooke Castillo's Coach Week.  It starts on Monday -- 1 hour live zoom calls watching her coach participants (with replay available).  It's $97 and gives you the flavor of her Self-Coaching Scholars.  If you join that program during the week, the price is discounted from the fee.  If I love this week, I'll join.  This is a good way to stick my toe in the water to see if I'll get a benefit from joining the bigger program.  Good timing and smart marketing.

BTW, my physical test results came back and everything is normal.  I have mammogram and colonoscopy scheduled in June.  Then I'm all caught up.  

Things are moving forward at a fast speed.  Quarantine is over (not the pandemic though) and I'm ready to get out into the world again.  I NEED my energy up.  The menopause supplement hasn't made a difference, but I forgot to take it for the last two days.  I think I'm eating too much sugar again.  That's an energy killer for me.  I've gotten back to baking for the Asheville weekends and using GF flour.  I'm eating everything I bake.  I'm going to start focusing on RECIPES again, not baking.  I super duper believe lifestyle can help me "do" menopause in a healthy, manageable way.

I can't believe how cool the temperatures are for May.  This week is lows in 40s and highs in 70s.  I love it, but my garden is stunted a bit because it's so cool at night.  Asheville is in the 60s this weekend.  

I'll be back on Tuesday with lots to chat about.  Pictures and recap of the first coaching call.  Have a happy weekend and stay well.  Later gators.
