Lunch Date

I'm meeting my aunt for an early lunch today -- and maybe a little shopping.  Two of the pictures I bought from her art show have warped so they're going back to the framer.  Good excuse to have lunch.

I'm still working on the Spanish presentation -- eek this is hard.  I'll give it my best shot.  Maybe this is how I need to practice because it definitely takes it to the next level.

Duke is limping a little so I'm heading to the park solo this morning.  I've had 2 "workouts" in a row so I'll do whatever my back wants this morning.  Tomorrow is an early day so I'll use it as a rest day.

I'm enjoying The Overstory, but it's long.  The writing is amazing but can the story hold my interest for another 400 pages? (I've read 100 pages.)  It's set to switch formats after two more vignettes so maybe that will pull it together.  

Bookclub might not be happening on Sunday.  It's only me and one other person so far.  A couple of maybes, but those are really nos -- they're waiting to see if they can pull away for the afternoon.  You plan it or it doesn't happen.  I bet we nix it in-person and do a virtual.  No harm though -- I've prepared very little so it's not a big deal either way.

I had to give a big-ish no for someone to use our house in Asheville.  It was hard to do, but I spoke up honestly and that feels like a clean explanation.  Progress on using my voice.

Short and sweet -- need to get going because lunch is early and the drive is long.  I'm late to the game today because I did Spanish first thing.  I'll do a second study session this afternoon -- down to business this week.

Here's a funny picture of Monti after grooming and a power nap.  Don't you hate it when a blowout doesn't last? Hah!

Have a good day.  Later gators.
