Bookclub and Garage Sale Day

Interesting weekend ahead -- bookclub event, garage sale, Camino mid-town walk. Of course, more car loads and, hopefully, house showings. Stay tuned.

I had a little bit of overwhelm last night and a little bit of dread about leaving this house. These feelings have been a bay for a bit -- wonder why they came up last night again and are lingering this morning. 

Perhaps it's the "other" stuff happening this week ahead. Once again, all my little facets are active and it seems like a lot to juggle. Just when the week looked like it was leveling out, a number of things added on.

Furniture delivery date changed to next week which means juggling someone at the house to accept the delivery. My volunteer job added a half-day meeting. Dog grooming got moved. We are moving furniture out for my son so renting a truck, moving some in my car, being ready for showings, managing dogs -- it's making for another hectic weekend. We planned to do this in May, but needed to change it up. There went my "calmer" week. 

I'm still insisting and prioritizing some ME stuff too -- lord, it's easy to let this go during a hectic time. Problem is, it's been hectic for months. If I had let go, I would've let go for months. Two hiking days next week, lunch date (tentatively), coffee date (tentatively). 

I had the area rugs cleaned. The one in the craft room is good, the bedroom rug is still a mess. A few very dark stains won't come out (natural fiber holds old stains) and perimeter areas look dirty. I guess it's okay for now and it's as clean as it can be. Hopefully, it'll look better with a bed on it, although the bed will cover the cleanest parts. I won't have to worry about Monti peeing on an old rug -- we'll replace it when he's no longer with us. Sweet old man. 

Not horrible from a distance,
but not good close up.
Swing and a miss on this one.

My hip feels fine today. I'm happy I rested it yesterday. I'm headed to do a quick Peloton ride before setting up for the garage sale and I'll see how it goes. 

Busy morning -- workout, getting house "show" ready, garage sale setup for early birds, dropping a car load to new house, heading into the city for bookclub starting at 11 o'clock. All this and it's still morning. Making an effort requires effort -- seems like this is a daily thing. I can't decide if this feels good or if it feels manic-like. When I sit here now, it seems too much. Tonight, it'll feel like a full life day and I'll be glad I made the effort. 

Okay, can't go down this rabbit hole this morning. Hope you have a good Saturday. Later gators.
