Privacy? Nope.

I had a good day yesterday. Let me tell you about it.

First up -- the run. I was wrong. The route was great. Out and back, hills, shade, no pedestrian traffic. That won't always be the case, but early runs should be rather quiet. Walk out my front door and go. No waiting on school times, carrying keys, no traffic lights to cross, etc. Only downside I can see is it isn't safe for my dog. The sidewalk is wide, but not wide enough that he couldn't step into traffic with the range of the belly leash. I'll need to find something for him occasionally. 

I did a cool down walk and tried a new coffee shop. It open recently -- about a half mile from my house. It's a mission based program that trains people with disabilities. All the baked goods are made in-house. The person helping me was deaf -- I need to remember some of the sign language I used to know. I got an iced chai because I had my fill of coffee already. Cute indoor and outdoor space. It might become a new favorite.

Okay -- I'm sitting here in my office that isn't what I want yet -- so dark inside and yet a fishbowl, but it's early so it feels private right now. We live on a dead end street. A car came down the road and backed into driveway (maybe night shift). Next a pickup truck came and parked (maybe construction). Then a group of runners came down the street and turned around. IT'S 5 o'clock IN THE MORNING and PITCH DARK. And now another two cars. What is sam hell?!? Doesn't seem like construction -- all men in workout outfits going into a house. That house had all its main floor lights on until the first car went into the driveway, then lights went out -- that's why I thought nightshift. Maybe he's a personal trainer? They gave swim lessons for babies in their backyard pool a couple of weeks ago.

Hold on while I order temporary shades for the office ... never mind, it's too dark with a glare to see the tape measure. Has to wait until it's light outside. 

The office needs work. The glass doors are pretty, but a problem. They're metal with four sections so shear curtains aren't an easy option or maybe not an option at all. As soon as hubby wakes up, he walks by the door a thousand times with dogs, etc. ZERO privacy. Maybe I need to get drapes that pull across the door. Hmmm -- that's an idea. 

I like quiet, contemplative time in the morning. People looky-looing from all sides doesn't work. 

Anyway ... back to my good day yesterday. 

OMG -- more runners. Yep, I need temporary shades. I like the activity around the house, just not in the morning in my office.

I got a lot organized -- needs a bit of tweaking, but it's livable now. The craft room is still unusable though and a mess because we're waiting on the door to be put back. It's huge, heavy and laying on the floor. They ghosted me yesterday. I waited all afternoon and evening. Only one guy who knows how to do it.

I'm feeling like my spaces are the last to settle and that's unsettling. But, the day was excellent yesterday. Living the lifestyle that this move brings and I love it. I just need a little time and patience.

Garden soil is getting delivered today. Another area of unsettle, but I'm pushing it as a priority. We (hubby) need to assemble the beds and I'll text our landscaper to see if he can come over to move the soil since they won't be able to get it close to the beds. I have no idea if I ordered enough -- one Soil3 bag. So much to do and it really bums me out about being away 2 weekends right now. If I had a couple of weeks, the timing would be fine. 

Ugh -- hubby is up. I'm going to call it. Privacy is a lost cause this morning. Later gators.
