Asheville Feels

Even with holiday weekend crowds, I got a nice teahouse moment. Hubby dropped and picked me up -- the teahouse is not his thing. We hung a couple of vintage/antique oil paintings, hung the birdhouse gourd, took the dogs for a walk and I read the rest of the evening.

More on the book once I take a picture -- it's such a fun read. Probably a favorite for 2024. I read 300/500 pages yesterday. I want to give it its proper dues.

I also drank a Budweiser Zero -- I have a little stash of non-alcoholic beer here. I don't drink it often or a lot because it probably has gluten. It's something different when I come to Asheville.

I want to add something more
to the wall -- something that's
not a picture or a mirror. It
needs softer angles.

The LFL was opened, looked at (books in a different pile) and one book added. Not super popular, but I'll keep trying. I added a few more books, some wildflower seeds packets and a couple of painted rocks.

Today is a mix of things. Some work (start volunteer report), workout (Peloton and a mountain walk), pick up the framed print (part of my retirement celebration), teahouse (always, whenever possible) and dinner date with hubby.

I slept well last night. First night my recovery stats were back in range since shingles. I feel like the anxiety is easing up. I also ordered CBD gummies for stress (rather than sleep). I'll give those a try -- I welcome a placebo effect even. 

Have a good Monday. Doesn't feel like a Monday to me. I forgot to write up my weekly plan -- geez, and it's a full week.

Later gators.
