A List of All Things Happening

Lots to report -- cue the list (no particular order).

(1)  Townhome is a no-go.  We withdrew our offer.  Turns out they aren't accepting lower than asking, want to wait for possible multiple bids this week.  That's a nope for us.  The house is overpriced and we aren't going into a bidding war.  I'm disappointed for my son, but relieved because I didn't think it was the right house.  I know when I know and I should've listened to my gut.  I was outvoted, but not again.

(2)  Now my week is FREE.  I added a hike with a friend on the only sunny forecasted day and 2 more possible social things pending (lunch and coffee date).  This should help my mood -- unless everything gets canceled (and that's always possible).

(3)  First farm pick up this morning for the gardening group I joined.  This is the group that ghosted the tea class so I have no idea what's what.  Guess I'm doing some gardening this week ... or not.  Geez.

(4)  Lunch date with hubby today.  Going to our favorite local place.  They do farm-to-table with everything from scratch.

(5)  Saw this gal yesterday -- my "sign" of good things.  I need it :)

(6)  Hung the hummingbird feeder I got at the craft show.  We usually get hummingbirds on the deck so fingers crossed.  They're amazing little birds.  The fill is one part sugar, 4 parts water.

(7)  The morning was unexpectedly sunny so I took Duke on a walk and we did a little woods detour.  This is a county sign designed to look like a man or beast -- maybe Big Foot.  I want to get a closer look next time.  Someone has a sense of humor.

(8)  We booked a couple of timeshare trips for later this year.  Hilton Head in October with my friend.  AZ with hubby and we'll meet my sister and BIL for the week.

(9)  I registered for a hike tomorrow.  6 miles in the morning.  I messaged bookclub I'm out for Botanical Gardens since nothing has been scheduled.  If they do virtual, I might be able to make it.  I'm still worried about the group leader.  No one else is concerned -- they think she's just busy.

I feel like I got some control back yesterday.  I had a bunch of worry because I didn't think the house was right.  I also felt like I had a lot in limbo land with vacation planning, social calendar this week -- all waiting on other people.  Control is an illusion, but making decisions isn't.  I made a bunch of decisions and that makes me feel better.  So maybe it's not control I'm after, just a decision.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend.  Getting back to me, back to Future Me -- hormones be damned.

Hope it's a good one for you too.  Later gators.
