Happy Tree

This is my last morning from this office -- a few days of sitting at a counter, then the new office debut. The desk I use is leggy and we have concern about it breaking in the move, so we're hauling it in the car this morning. Bittersweet. Hopefully, time will take care of the bitter and it's all sweet in the new digs. 

I had some prickly bits with a friend yesterday and I'm really proud how I didn't waver or acquiesce to her opinion (and what I felt was an unkind reaction). I'm also not up in arms about it, but it's noted. More and more, I'm learning to navigate uncomfortable moments with friends and show up honestly. Like me or don't for who I really am, not who I dilute myself to please.

I hiked yesterday -- probably only hike for a bit. I'm going to try and figure out a few shorter hikes here and there until I can be back to a regular routine. I pass this tree all the time at the hike near my new house and it's adorable. Finally took a picture. Look at the pretty spring green too.

I finished this book. It was good, but holy moly it got dark. The "fun" turned a hard corner. Clever book though with a very unique story. I appreciated that it didn't wrap in a nice bow or completely explain itself at the end since we only had the narrator's 1st person perspective. 

I have a hair appointment today. Getting some length chopped. It's the longest my hair has ever been because I grew it for the wedding. I'd like to keep it a bit longer than I had it though and that will be tricky because my hair dresser loves to chop while she talks. A little more length helps the back bun shape better.

Other than the hair appointment, it's nothing but packing and transporting these next 2 days. Emptying furniture now and that's the worst because I have no where to put it until the furniture moves. We've made this move without buying any packing boxes or materials, just using bins and boxes we collected, over and over -- that's a win, but it's not convenient. 

Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
