New Week

Sunday recap:

Started with a HS zoom call. Always nice to catch up with everyone. We've been doing it for 5 years now, even with a west coast zone and a European zone, we make it work.

I had to exit early because we had a showing. "Like the house, but still looking around." Glad we had a showing though -- it's been way too quiet. They stayed for 45 minutes which means there's some valid interest.

Afternoon at the new house with the dogs and the kids. We had a nice time and walked to an early dinner -- again. Dogs were extremely and surprisingly well behaved. Sat on the patio in the shade for a relaxing meal with 2 dogs and a baby. Who knew -- I thought it was going to be organized chaos. 

Back to painting rocks again. It's a de-stressor and fun. One giraffe finished, one blue car in progress (interrupted by the showing).



Wore a new inclusion shirt.



Today is a mother-load of errands. I can't put them off another day. Then I'm babysitting for our grandson including a first time pickup from daycare. 

The rest of the week is full. As usual, I'm trying to balance "is this too much" or "is this a full life." Sometimes I don't know. My days are full from start to finish, but full with things I want in my life and things I've worked to have in my life. I worry about overdoing, but maybe that's just a story I'm telling myself. 

I guess I can't believe I've been going at this pace for this long without a substantial crash. The testosterone cream has helped my energy tremendously. Perhaps time to let the old story die where busy = crash. Hate to always blame hormones, but I suspect it's been years and years of energy stamina problems related to hormone fluctuations.

That said, I feel like I need something. Going back to the idea of what kind of rest do I need? Fun, for sure. But maybe something else too. I hope to find that on my trip to Asheville later in the week. A little solo adventure offers good restorative time.

Also, I'm watching what I said yes to. A friend asked for a favor and normally I would've rearranged my schedule to make it work, but I said no to giving an out-of-the-way ride tomorrow. She doesn't want to drive to the hike and I need to run errands on my way home. Driving to drop her off means doubling back too far for the errands and my time is pressed already. It's hard to say no to things like this, but her reason isn't something significant (i.e. something like if her car was the shop, I would've made it work). Her "preference" doesn't top my errands. I also would've said yes if I didn't need to run the errands, even though it's out of the way. There's a possibility she doesn't come now, but that's her choice -- staying in my lane. I hope she still comes. (And, you can probably tell, I feel a little bit bad for saying no.)

That's all the ramblings from here. Hope you're set for a good Monday. Later gators.
