Yesterday was seriously the most amazing hiking weather. Cool breeze, no humidity, low temps, blue skies, tree canopy back for shaded trails, water running mightily. Absolutely lovely. I hiked half myself and half with friends. Lunch was good, conversation fantastic.
We picked the date to go to the refugee charity for chai making at the prompt of one of the ladies. I submitted the request.
I was moved off the waitlist for tonight's hike which I'm regretting at this moment but will be happy when I hike -- the drive is what I'm dreading. Back-and-forth trips today. I like the people hiking tonight though and it'll be another beautiful weather moment. We won't have many left before summer humidity and heat come to play. Also, one more week and the 45 minute drive home will be a 5 minute walk instead.
The casual friend who canceled is back on. I hadn't made other plans, so lunch today is happening. I'll run Duke for a short run (because hike tonight), drop off a car load, lunch, and home for the afternoon. Load the car AGAIN and head down for the evening hike.
It's unusual that a potential cancel day (lunch and waiting to hear about hike) ended up having both a go. Far more common to have both be canceled. Guess I should note when it goes this way. Lord knows I complain when it doesn't.
So overall, yesterday was a YES day -- things added to the calendar, all that had the makings of not happening.
Something I'm reminding myself of right now that really helps overwhelm and I forget often -- stay in the moment. I can plan ahead, put it on the calendar, make a list, but then stop thinking about it. I overload TODAY because I'm thinking about the next 5 days of things as I'm moving through this day. No wonder it feels like too much. Had to put this in play today as the days keep filling and I keep panicking.
Hope you're having a good-as-you-can week during the shit-show right now. Later gators.
