Hello, May

My wish for May is a month less hectic and filled with things I want to do -- including quiet time and routine. I'd say I have the "power" to make it so, but, damn, things don't often feel like a choice. Already next week has some crap that needs to add, adjust, etc. 

I need to finish setting up my spaces to allow uninterrupted time. I've only had one 5 minute meditation since we moved because I get interrupted every time -- no exaggeration. Contractors, dogs, hubby, etc. I can tell it's missing in my day. 

I'm sitting in my office -- pouring rain so the road traffic is nothing (no builders, no runners) and a possum ran down the sidewalk. Hah. Adorable. Wasn't fast enough to grab a picture. I thought it was a dog at first glance. 

Anyway ...

Leaving for Asheville this morning. Somehow today is another "lots of stuff" day. I have charity donations to drop in Asheville so my car is PACKED (story of 2025 so far). Errands to run for company. Lots of extra driving when I get to Asheville and the drive is longer from the new house.

My aunt is riding with me and that'll be fun. I need to rally with some energy. Still recouping from the cold and hormones. 

I worked on the house yesterday. Made good progress on the basement and decorative shelves in the family room. We also hung more pictures to get them off the floor. 

I finished this book. Really good story. Books in translation seem to be extra interesting (maybe because only the best get translated??). This was from a French translation. 

Best get going. I planned to run outside but it's still raining so Peloton for the win this morning. 

Have a good day. Later gators.
