Heading Home

I'm ready.  Monti had tummy issues last night and I was up with him on/off most of the night.  We talked about me staying another night since I'm tired.  Nope -- I'm ready to go home.

It was a great trip, but more of it doesn't feel good.  

Something I've noticed lately is when I NEED a regroup or recovery or rest ... the push into FS doesn't feel the same.  It's subtle.  A sense of background dread instead of background excitement.  A little feeling of UGH or BLAH.  If I take a minute of status quo until that feeling goes away, the excitement comes back.

For example.  I got an interview slot for the fall volunteering training session.  2 hours in early August.  I felt excited and nervous ... all the good FS feelings.  Today it feels like dread and worry about failure.  Time to recoup -- not time to think about FS.  Got to read the room, know your audience.  

Speaking of FS, here's the LFL up against the house.  Hubby has a little concern about it drawing attention to the house (that sent me into a tailspin of doubt because I need to recover, not think FS right now).  I'll tackle the setup this summer.  Can you, do you believe it?!?!?  

Color look good.

Planning to stake it here.

Saw this on a walk.
Another style.

I finished this book.  Excellent.  I also saw an interview with the authors.  Very interesting story about the collaboration.  They touch on that in the acknowledgments at the end.

Lunch was nice.  Teahouse was fabulous, as always.  Lots and lots of fun lately.   

Now I need to work on transitioning home.  That tends to be a buffering time and I feel that urge today (hello, sweets).  Transition and tired make for murky waters.  I'm going to brainstorm on the drive for ways to improve.  Fingers crossed.  It's never a good sign when I wake up wanting to eat sweets.

Happy end of June.  Later gators.
