Should I Stay ... or Should I Go?

Good timing to come to Asheville for HVAC -- no heat on the main unit again this morning.  Odd thing is the heat was working yesterday.  I turned it up a couple of degrees when I got in -- then it got too warm so I turned it back down and it was working when I went to bed.  Woke up this morning to no heat.  I'm glad for warm slippers, a bathrobe and hot coffee BUT my shower is going to be FRIGID.

I'm being wishy washy about all-the-things this trip.  I expect the HVAC will take all morning, that leaves this afternoon.  Takeout for sure (I ate what I brought yesterday) but I don't feel excited about any adventures which is very strange for me and Asheville.

The weather is iffy for Sunday and Monday.  Rain, snow, ice mix in and out over the 2 days.  Should I stay or should I go?  

I did "plan" some things for these few days -- you know, a little future self stuff.  I guess I'll make the decision by this afternoon.  Heat or no heat ... that might decide it for me.

The plan, you ask?

A little thrifting, vegan food, a walk up the mountain if the temperature is warm enough AND a drive to South Asheville to get an americano that I LOVED when we explored that area.  It was one of the best coffees I've had in a long time and I'm curious if it was a fluke or it's really that good.  I found it on maps after lots of looking -- I had no idea the name and just a general idea of the location, but glad for pictures.  

Also, I brought guide books and such to plan out the trip to Spain.  That's certainly a good rainy day activity.

I guess I'll decide based on heat.  Unit fixed, I stay until Monday.  Unit down, I leave tomorrow morning or maybe this afternoon.  It's going to stay awfully cold without heat.  My "plan" can always wait until next trip.

Funny side note, I get super lonely at night being all alone, but mornings are positively heavenly to have no one or things to care for but me.  So by tonight, I'll wish to be home, but by morning I'll be overjoyed to be by myself again.  50-50 (!!)

Stay tuned, lol.  Big cliff hanger.  Later gators.

P.S.  Here's the Fairy Village for Asheville.  I'll wait until spring to find a spot for it.  The house rocks are from a local GA park.  It was fun to paint.  You see fairy villages all around Asheville in some form or another.  I might make a couple of signs to go with it, but I'm finished with the houses.
