Switched it up AGAIN (!!)

Saturday went smoothly -- got all the morning things finished, headed to Asheville.  

We've been having internet connection problems there for a few days and Saturday is completely went face up.  Looks like it's an outside problem.  No fix until we go up at the end of the month and can be there for the appointment.

EVERYTHING runs on Internet in the Asheville house (including the Peloton).  There isn't a strong enough signal to run hotspots on our phones.  AND, pouring raining and thunderstorms all weekend.

We got up Sunday, did a quick clean, loaded up the biggest part of the sectional and headed home.  No point in staying.  Nothing to do inside and nothing to do outside.  

Hubby was able to get the lawn mowed and the kitchen cart put together Saturday morning though.  I wanted this for more surface area when we entertain or stay for a long weekend.  The kitchen doesn't have a pantry.  It's on casters so we can use it in multiple ways and spaces.

Now for a funny story ... remember the ottoman that was delivered without legs?  I called West Elm and was on the phone for over an hour as the call moved around to troubleshoot.  I was left with "someone will contact you in 7-10 days to figure out next steps."  I decided to lean the top up against the wall ahead of the cleaning crew today and I hear a thunk when a turn it up.  There's a zipper compartment and, sure enough, the legs are inside.  I remembered there are zipper compartments under the chairs too and I wondered why -- guess it stored the legs for those too.  Interesting that no one from West Elm thought to troubleshoot with the obvious (since this seems to be common practice with their furniture).  

Here's a quick re-arrange I did before I left on Saturday.  Still need to decorate and hang pictures.  The pictures up now are leftovers from before -- I left them on the walls, but they aren't staying.  The ottoman is a little big for the space, but it works well enough (especially with the legs haha).

What a wonky weekend.  We got the essentials done -- cleaned, yard work and transporting 1 of 3 sectional pieces to GA ahead of the big furniture delivery at the end of the month.  Storing it upstairs until the kids move into their new house.

I'm still in the headspace that I can't wait for August to be over.  I said "yes" to things I shouldn't have, so many other things have changed up and aren't feeling worth it anymore.  I'm frustrated, worried and annoyed.  Guess I need to take the lessons and move forward.  I'm still trying to figure out how to belong to myself first -- which doesn't mean NOT belonging for others too, but it does mean a priority shift a lot of the time.  

Today is the cleaning crew this morning (yea for a clean house) and a nail appointment this afternoon.  I'm getting gel put on for the wedding trip this week.  The person who did SNS for me left for another career (happy for her).  I'm picky about SNS so I opted for gel with another tech I like (but doesn't do SNS).  I hope it stays on for the week.  I switched off gel because it was peeling regularly.  This is just an occasional thing for me now when a trip is too long for regular polish to last.

Have a great Monday and I trying for a good week, good trip, etc.  Stay well.  Later gators.
