Bookclub

Hello, Sunday.  It's bookclub this afternoon and I'm looking forward to it.  Looks like a decent sized group (7 of us).  It's a bit of a drive (no one lives near each other) and it's a rainy day, but I'm glad to go.  I'll wear a mask for most of the time inside since we are so close to our vacation.

Speaking of vacation ... excursions are booked and a loose plan for the other days.  I'm getting more excited. Given the timing, types of excursions and such available, we are doing pretty tame things.  Food tour, Kona coffee plantation tour and a day boat/snorkeling trip.  We have open times for hikes and scuba if the weather is good.  We're staying on Oahu for a couple of nights before we get to the big island to see Pearl Harbor too.

This is relaxing me because I think my back can handle everything AND if I get my monthly, I can still enjoy the plans.  A lot of the excursions are BIG and physical -- I was worried about my back.  Nature in Hawaii is no joke.  I like what we're doing and we'll fill a lot of the other times with hikes that are our speed.  Also, everything is fully refundable 24 hours in advance -- so if we get sick or such, we have an out.

Yesterday was a chill day.  We took the dogs to Starbucks and then to a park for a little walk in the woods and climb on some rocks.


Super long wait in the drive-thru
so Duke decided to drive.





Every last lick



We watched the season finale of House of Dragons.  I started The Great on Hulu from a recommendation from a friend.  It's intense, but I like it.  Pretty easy day.

I'm heading to Asheville tomorrow.  I've been back and forth with this decision because of my energy, but I'll regret not going.  I need to check on the house and decorate the inside for Christmas since we'll only be up 2 more times during the holidays.  I'll set the the tree on a timer so we can start the lights after Thanksgiving -- it's pretty from the window.  I also want to visit the framing store and see what's what for fixing the pictures from my aunt and framing a few more things.

I could use a few days TOTALLY by myself too -- no dogs, no people.  A little regroup.  I get overwhelmed when hormones are at this stage of the month.

Have a good day.  Later gators.
