Asheville is going to be a rainy mess -- today and tomorrow. That stops our paint organization and purge plan because we need to pull it out from a little under-the-house storage and do everything on a patio. Open, stir, match, discard or keep. There are probably 60 old, dusty cans. Not a job for a rainy day. That leaves us with placing two rugs, hanging two pictures and organizing new glassware. Not huge tasks, but still enough to make the trip ahead of big weekends coming up. (Hubby is using this weekend as a stopover for a VA week and we also have dinner reservations.)
Do I drive today or tomorrow? That's the question.
The upside is I get some solo time (hubby will drive after work). Downside is I got my monthly and I'm feeling crappy for a drive. We also have to disassemble the bed and desk in my office since furniture is arriving next week while hubby is gone so morning is pushed. Downside is also dealing with dogs and rain and no fenced in yard. We won't get a Saturday coffee run and neighborhood walk because of the rain.
I'm leaning toward staying home today and leaving first thing tomorrow. Still raining, but then I get today at home and I could use that time.
** Just chatted with hubby **
I'm driving in tomorrow. He might go tonight after work since we have to take two cars anyway. I'm happy with this decision. Feels like I'm choosing me and what works best (easiest). If he goes tonight, I'll have the dogs for the drive, but, oh well.
I had a coaching call yesterday and it was good. I asked about a decision to go to a family wedding in August. Going honors my future-self plans. Staying honors where I am now. She asked a bunch of good questions. Conclusion -- no decision is right or wrong. Like the reason for the decision and own it. It doesn't have to be This or That -- it can be both. I'll think on it. She's a good coach.
My girlfriend came over for coffee yesterday. She brought me greens, garlic and herbs from her garden. We chatted garden stuff and she gave me some advice. I still need to tour her community garden plot. I'm leaning toward keeping a porch garden instead of a raised bed in the yard. Critters and dogs might be tough to stop from messing it up. I don't want an elaborate setup, costing $$. A few more pots and that might be a perfect amount of "garden" for me.
Next planting adventure is FLOWERS. I ordered some seed and bulbs for fall planting. This looks fun and easy. Dabbling in a little bit of everything and seeing what sticks. I pass a yard in the neighbor hood with the prettiest daisies. Turns out it's a perennial plant -- Shasta Daisy. They grow so nicely, I decided to give those a try too.
Have a great weekend and stay well. Later gators :)
