I finally got my period and that might be what was contributing to my extra grumpy mood. You'd think 45 years of experiencing PMS, I'd recognize it. That said, I do need to work on my expect-the-worst attitude.
I had a nice coffee with my cancel friend. She had the time wrong and was late (that doesn't bother me -- honest mistake) and I got some time to read my bookclub book. A table noticed what I was reading and that led us to a conversation about democracy and inclusion. I like little moments like this.
Bookclub is this weekend and the response is relative crickets. There will be 3 of us -- more if we're lucky. Always slim pickings and pulling teeth to get people to respond either way. Then take a percentage of people who say 'yes' and don't show up on the day. It's have to stop expecting differently.
Hike last night was rained out. We have had so much rain -- it's crazy. Storms today in Asheville, but the next couple of days look nice.
I'm excited about a little respite in Asheville. Not that I'm overwhelmed here, but I haven't taken a lot of reflection time and I like to do that before my birthday.
I ran yesterday morning and then took Duke for a walk. He knew I went running without him and wanted to run a little on the walk. It ended up bothering my back quite a bit and my lower back muscles are out of wack. Hopefully a rest day is all it needs to feel better.
Best get moving. Trying to get to Asheville before afternoon storms and the drive is longer from our new house.
Have a good one. Later gators.
