Here's a sample of the coasters. Picture of some rocks I painted for a kids' LFL, my favorite "happy tree" on the hike outside my front door, screen shots and a picture from a little town. It's my new obsession and probably my next little gift idea to friends. They're not expensive (especially with a sale) and who can't use a personalized, semi-disposable coaster for their desk or bedside table?!? Perfect little thinking-of-you gift. I've been making simple bookmarks and time for a new crafty idea. Wondering if I can incorporate coasters and my Christmas table craft this year. Hmmm ...
Today is bookclub and guess what that means? Yep, here's my rant.
Four of us planned this month's meeting. We changed the date and location to accommodate one of the ladies who lives in the city. Guess what? Yep, someone sent a reminder text last night and she responded that she's out of town helping a friend with a sick father. First of all -- this person has more sick people or friends with problems. It's always her reason for backing out. I get it though -- comes way above bookclub. BUT ... the issue is why do you need to wait until someone contacts you? We accommodated HER and she still didn't think she needed to proactively let anyone know. Was she just going to be a no-show?
She ended the long explanation text (blah, blah) with you might want to go somewhere closer the rest of you. You think?!?
We scrambled last night and I made reservations at another place. Not the same vibe, but lots of places are closed on a Sunday or packed for brunch.
BTW, I wasn't happy when the nicer-than-me person suggested we accommodate this person because I know she backs out. Let's make it less convenient for everyone else and then again when we need to regroup.
Okay, rant over.
It may not seem like it, but my mood feels significantly better this morning. Maybe hormones are settling. I had a no-quit headache last night, but I feel better this morning. I'm going to do a Peloton ride and see if my energy is better too.
Remember I said I pulled back from a few things? I did, but I also added a couple of other things that seem more aligned with what I need right now. Tuesday (weather permitting) is a double hike day. Morning at the big mountain and evening at my local trail. Fingers crossed for an energy boost.
Garden is beckoning again. Have a good Sunday. Later gators.
