Asheville

We arrived with a few hiccups but we made it.  Lots of weekend traffic -- it was tough going driving straight through.  

Then the code lock to our door was flashing low battery.  My key didn't work, but thankfully, there was enough battery to open after trying a few times.  I replaced the batteries and found a working key.

No book club, but my heart wasn't in it for a virtual month so I don't feel like I missed anything.

I was bone tired with a wonky back so it was an early night to bed, but I had trouble falling asleep.  Saturday took it all out of me -- even though I had a good day.  I'm sore (harder than usual Peloton ride, I guess) and blah this morning.  I need to listen to my body and have an easier day.  I'm pushing a little too much right now.  I still don't have endurance or energy to go go go.  

I hung the pretty towel I got in CO.  The kitchen needs a little color and softening.  

I have to decide on Spanish class for tonight.  I've mentally checked out of the class since past tense.  I'm prepared for the next presentation, but am ignoring past tense for now.  It was too much, too soon for me for pronunciation -- I'm getting all mixed up with everything now.  I need a better headspace before I make any decisions -- lots of viable choices though.  Only criteria is I keep at it daily.  I'm leaning toward self study and private lessons until I'm ready to tackle past tense.

Rug delivery this afternoon so I'm tethered to the house for part of the day.  I have no specific plans -- waiting see what I want to do.  Some combination of walk or jog, coffee or tea house, grocery store or takeout -- all before afternoon.

It's a bit humid this morning (big storms last night), but I have the windows open and a fall candle burning.  It's nice.  Today is trash day so maybe BEARS again.  I love Asheville and I love being here.  

Looks like both ATL and Asheville will get remnants of the hurricane by the weekend.  I've been MIA from the news so I had no idea.  So much damage on the islands -- I can't even imagine how devastating that is for the people living there.

New week -- let's have a good one.  Later gators.
