Cancelled ...

The bee farm was rained out.  I'll sign up again in September -- getting closer but starting to wonder if I'll ever get there!  Before it was rained out, the farmer changed the time to 6-8pm -- nope, so I backed out.  Then it ended up getting rained out anyway.  

This is starting to be one of those "cancel" weeks.  My Spanish presentation postponed, bee farm a no-go and now the kids are re-thinking Asheville this weekend because of the upcoming wedding (and COVID risk ahead).  Seriously?  They'll "let me know."  Even though it's a relatively easy weekend, I'm still doing a lot to host 6 people -- including leaving on Thursday (hubby home on Friday).  So if they change their minds last minute, I'm not going to be a happy camper.  Decision making isn't their strong point and nothing has changed since THEY asked to come for the long weekend.  I'm confused why the back and forth now.

I also chatted again with a friend about a visit we're planning for Asheville in October.  I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling this is actually going to happen now.  The "well, I'm not sure if ..." chatter is starting.  It's okay either way, but added to the cancel week motif.  

Even so, trying to go with the flow -- nothing has gone wrong, just changing.

(Hmmmm, wonder if coffee date will happen this afternoon ...)

Yesterday I kept my promise and headed to the park for a run/walk and it felt good, but hard.  I also finished The Overstory.  There's a lot to like about the book, but it was too long.  By the end, I just wanted it to end.  Land the plane.

Here's my next read -- totally 180 and I'm ready for a fun read.

And, I finished watching Abbott Elementary since it's now on HBO Max without commercials.  It was fantastic -- I see why all the buzz.  

I also watched Labor Day with Kate Winslet.  It was an unexpected love story and a good movie.

Today is a full day.  Peloton ride, cleaning crew, Trader Joe's run, Costco run, gas fill-up, packing for the trip, coffee with my girlfriend and a couple of quick-stop errands.  Simple entertaining is still work, no matter how I manage it.  Lots of little adds up.

I haven't been rock painting for a few weeks because days are fuller lately and I wasn't super excited to paint.  I miss it this week though.  When I'm back from Asheville, I'm back to painting.  Sometimes you need a break -- even from something you enjoy, maybe especially from something you enjoy.  Keeps it fresh.

I've got another stretch of FS practice coming up.  I'm on the lookout for ways to show up differently.  I'm doing well-ish so far.  Biggest miss -- eating, of course.  Way too many snacks again and night eating.  I'm trying a softer change to see if that helps.  I'm never going to fit into the dress for the wedding unless I clean things up.  And it's messing with my sleep and recovery.  

Long winded this morning.  Got to run -- full day ahead.  Have a good one.  Later gators.
