Friday was an excellent day. Everything was fun. All good feelings. Hike was great and my legs were fine -- we beat the rain by a few minutes. I ended up leading that hike most of the way because the trip leader didn't know the route. Met with the builder to start the bookshelf plan -- it's going to be a fun, itty bitty room. Date lunch with hubby at a local burger place we'll be able to easily walk to from the new house -- mushroom burger with GF bun. Like Asheville, most restaurants in this town accommodate lots of eating preferences. Meditation was a mixed bag (the meditation messages weren't hitting for me) but I'm glad I tried it and had a nice evening.
Saturday, not so much an excellent start.
The hairdresser called out that morning on medical leave for the foreseeable future. The salon had a dummy cell number for some reason so they opted to send me an email 5 minutes before I walked in the door. Okay -- things happen. I need a new appointment and a new stylist for the wedding. Nope, they said. All booked up. They can give me an appointment at another salon (30 minutes away). But I booked a "wedding party" booking months ago with my friends, two blocks from the wedding venue.
Long story short (and it was a long story -- I was there for an hour), I have a new stylist and new appointments. What I don't have is a lot of trust. Is your cell phone not working? Did you give a dummy number (404-444-4444) -- seriously?!? Do you have notifications off? Didn't you check your email? It was their system the entire time. I'm calling the coordinator next week to discuss.
General feeling right now -- I can't wait for the wedding to be over. I'm tired of it all. Family drama, vendor issues, so many details still in the works. Good lord.
But, the rest of the day rallied after some more back and forth crap that I'll spare you details.
I started a month of high heal practice since I'm not allowed to wear my wedding sneakers to dance. Trying to get an hour a day. Building up my tendon strength to be in shoes for hours. (BTW, I'll bring them to the wedding and if people take off their shoes, my sneakers are going on!!!!)
Eldest called and we ended up at an early dinner and walk around with the baby (soon to be not a baby!!). Fun evening. Nice weather.
Home and I was beat -- utterly tired in every way. Cup of tea and headed to bed to relax. It was one of those moments where bed, tea and wind down felt incredible. Oura ring thinks my monthly is coming any day now and this might be a lot of the "feelings" and tired right now.
I have an entire slow roll morning and then a hike with a new group. Local Camino chapter. These are the kind of people you'd expect (which I need more than ever) and I'm excited to meet the group. It's 7 miles, probably slow, but the focus is the people while we get some fresh air. The hike has potential to be hard depending on the trails they choose. I hope for a solid hike experience. I don't expect to join for the dinner -- pizza and beer. Gluten and alcohol, not my thing.
Tomorrow I FINALLY head to Asheville. I'm so looking forward to it and then I remember I have to clean -- hasn't been cleaned in 5 months Dang, it's going to be dirty. Even so, I expect to get some teahouse time, good food, mountain walk, visit with my sister, and some solid quiet time. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Have a peaceful day. Later gators.
