I must be having a hormone change -- my body temperature is elevated (not a fever though), my stats are low, and I feel rundown. It's either hormones or the "everything" of it all has caught up to me.
Yesterday was fun. We played at a playground, had a good lunch, walked by the new house. The fence was being installed and they made progress on the basement -- finally. Both were delayed because of medical issues with the foremen from the crews. Okay, that's understandable -- moving forward is exciting.
I picked up plants and seeds from the farm and am a little bummed. I want a garden!!!! I'm going to plant what I got this week in the garden here. The house hasn't sold, so maybe I'll be able to enjoy a spring garden remotely. BTW -- looks like I'll have great sun for the new garden next year. Delayed happy, but good.
My snack yesterday and it looked cute. Little turkey vintage salt container. The green hobnob dish was my Granny's. Every bit about this makes me happy.
When we looked at the house yesterday, I gave my DIL a full tour (she's only seen the main level). It was a sunny afternoon -- maybe the first sunny day I've seen the inside of the house. I think I found a place for my indoor plants. There's a large landing on the second floor that should get enough sun. The back of the house where most of the windows are gets full shade -- great for us, less great for plants. The front of the house has very few windows that can take plants (same with the sides) because of covered porches and such. Hard to explain -- I can put a few plants here and there, but the bulk of 50 plants needs a place to go. The sunniest rooms are spare rooms and hubby's office and that won't work.
To say I have a lot to do today is an understatement. I was too tired to accomplish much yesterday when I got home. Head down, work mode today. Getting this bulk off my to-do list will be a HUGE help in the stress front. It's well worth working all day on it. And it's not all crappy work -- some will be fun.
Also, I decided I'm putting too much effort into some of the welcome bag notes. Write a few sentences and be done. Why I thought I needed to review 40 years of friendship in a notecard is beyond me.
I'm opening the candy to bag for the welcome bags -- I waited so nothing went stale. I'm doing this early morning because, damn, I'll want that chocolate tonight (hormones). My rule today is a STRICK not-even-one-piece because I know myself. I can't afford to fall into a chocolate coma this week as delightful as that sounds thinking about that escape.
I planned an only-hike-this-week tomorrow. I might need to change that to a run at the park. I don't know if I can take that much time to hike. I'll see where I land today. I'd love to hike, but I also need to be realistic with my time and energy this week.
That's all from here. Time to get moving on that early morning chocolate bagging -- the only time of day when it's unappealing to me lol. Later gators.
