Go, Go, Go

I'm ready for a slow-down day. Full life is great AND I need a quiet day. I'm finger crossing for a day next week where I can relax and spend the day ONLY doing me things solo, not rushed, etc. I think most of the week will be paced better and that will help.

Babysitting was a lot of fun. He's an absolute joy and this age is adorable. Three days left me behind on my life though, but it was totally worth it. 

We had friends over to see the house and joined another couple for dinner last night. Both were great. The friends parked at our house and we walked to dinner (hot, sunny, but so easy). They came in for a drink after and I'm tired -- late night, early morning. I was glad for the conversation, but didn't expect the stop over after too.

Painters coming to do the office today. I need to clear most of the room today (planned to do that after dinner, but friends stayed late). I'm excited to see the change.

Bookclub event coordinated by me again. Back to the city to support the refugee community. Weather changed and it looks bad for the event. Dang -- rain and thunderstorms. I hope the storms hold off. I feel like this might be a bit of a bust today.

I've been going from one thing to another and that's what's feeling like "too much." I haven't had pockets of downtime between things to catch my breath. I don't like this rushed of a week (and month) even though I'm having fun.

I want to move forward on a few things -- Spanish being a priority. Organizing my bookshelves another "me" project. Rock painting for PRIDE month. Stocking the freezer with some cook-ups. These require some stretches of time in my day. It's not that I need to be less busy, but I need to allocate time differently. If I don't give myself this, I know I start to unravel (so to speak). Quiet, personal things for me are important. 

Garden is growing, but it needs attention. Fertilize, thin seeds, and research shading the plants. I'm worried I had to plant too late.





Best get unloading the office. Hope you have a good weekend. Later gators.
