Thursday Things

I'm continuing to feel better.  I think it's a combination of hormones chilling out a bit and me taking better care of my eating and sleep.  That was a BIG mountain this month and I'd be happy to avoid it going forward.  Not sure if that's possible, but I can do a better job at what I can control.

I wasted an afternoon driving downtown to pickup a dog donation.  I asked if it was something that could be mailed and they said no -- way too much stuff.  Guess they gave the "stuff" to other people.  It was a small box of medication (easily could be mailed) and the promised medications weren't in the box.  Mainly a box of deworming powder packets.  Good lord.  What a waste of time and gas.  This is a house in the super duper ritzy area -- no way they wouldn't be able to mail a small box.  They knew how far I needed to drive.  Ugh.  Lesson learned.

Something little I'm SLOWLY changing up this summer is how I dress -- specifically wearing DRESSES. They are easy, cool, manage sweat ... yet I don't wear them on the casual.  After some life coaching last year, I figured out I was self-conscious about it because I was hearing my mother's voice in my head.  I still hear it, but now I recognize it isn't me.  Trying to come out of this strange shell I put myself in and feel comfortable changing up my style a bit.  

So ... I wore a summer dress yesterday.  It was way out of my usual box, but it felt good to play around.  Adding a little extra options to what I wear.  Building that vision of my future self.  

Still no word on Polly Pocket.  I'll reach out this afternoon if I don't hear anything.  I'll be driving to get her today or tomorrow before we leave for Asheville.

I'm in the process of switching out my veggie pots.  Spring greens and such are finished.  The cherry tomato plant is doing fine -- still producing tomatoes.  The cucumber plant is growing, flowering, starting little fruit and then the fruit dies.  I think it's a bust.  I killed the mint plant -- it hated the car rides back and forth to Asheville.  Finally went kaput on the last drive.  Time to look at some summer options and/or think ahead to fall planting.

That's all from here.  Plugging along and enjoying the quiet before the storm of activity this weekend.  Later gators.
