Weather is Being a Brat

An email came out with a heads-up that the hike is probably getting canceled on Saturday -- not just the forecasted rain, but the trails on that mountain are still ice covered as of yesterday afternoon. Dang. At least this hike leader cancels early enough that I won't be on the road.

I'm either taking Duke to run or hike today. I need to decide which is better for us. Run at the park is perfectly safe. Hike is a little more uncertain with narrow trails and the possibility of running into other dogs. There was also a good deal of muddy spots and that could be tricky with a dog attached. My preference is to hike myself but my poor dog needs to get some harder exercise. Just writing this out, I'm leaning toward a run at the park. 

Honest to god, why is it so hard to hike regularly at the level I want to hike?

And a possible second storm next week. I'm watching the forecast to see about my trip to Asheville. My weather app isn't showing anything but everyone is talking about a storm Tuesday or Wednesday. I might need to make the trip a quick overnight which would be disappointing. 

The weather is hampering house showings too (I think). GA doesn't come out in the cold, rain, and definitely not snow. I need to trust the process -- somehow it all works out. We have a showing tomorrow. 

I've been screenshotting IG like crazy pulling pictures of decor that "speaks to me." I'm starting to understand what it is specifically about certain decor that I like and don't like. Hopefully, that helps decorating the new house. I want to shift the aesthetic a little in the main areas and more in the secondary rooms. I think that will be a nice balance.

I dropped the ripped ottoman to get reupholstered. They had 50 plus books of fabrics but nothing vintage-or retro or pretty. All traditional or boring or ugly -- as far as my taste. I ended up with a green velvet and the owner wasn't very enthusiastic about my choice. We'll see. The room might be too small for the ottoman anyway and the green gives some options for other rooms. I'm holding off on the chair. I probably need to bring my own fabric for that project. 

That's all today -- another short hello. Hope you are having a good week. Later gators.
