So Much To Do

I felt almost back to normal yesterday.

First the hike -- 7 miles. Beautiful morning. Duke was thrilled. 

Ice feathers

It's so pretty.

Twirl tree

My favorite guy

Do you see it Duke?

Painted an owl rock for the rock snake. 

Both of those things were for me -- ways to get back to feeling myself. 

It was a full, long day. Boy, I wished I didn't have to go to dinner -- I have so much to do, but I'm glad I went. She definitely needed company. 

I'm up early and already DOING. Starting to panic a bit about how I'm going to fit everything. It's little things -- if I wasn't driving my neighbor today, I could stack some errands. If I want to run the errands, I have to drop her home and head out again -- not enough time before I need to go to the home visit (in lots of traffic). Today is almost a wash to be able to get ready for the weekend entertaining. Eeeeek - panic. 

My cancel friend has NOT canceled for tomorrow (although the day is young), the one and only time I want her to. Of course, I could cancel on her, but that doesn't sit right with me.

It's really one of those weeks. A friend asked me to help her plan a girls trip to Asheville -- I owe her a long text with suggestions. My cousin is struggling to throw a HBD for my aunt and I took over yesterday -- new plan and I need to finalize some of the details. That's not for 2 weeks though -- phew. Volunteer stuff just jumped up again. So, so, so many things right now. Too many for one little week to handle. 

AND it's one of those weeks where I have little chunks of time, but not quite long enough to do the things. I'm baking GF banana bread for bookclub and I don't seem to have a stretch to make and bake it. Plus I'm out of sugar -- only enough for one loaf and I'm baking two. Things like this. Yes, I could just buy something, but that steals from what I like to do. I enjoy baking for people, making the effort, having homemade offerings. Little special notes to a gathering. 

AND it's garden season in GA. Let it begin. I need to transplant in the grow room, ready the raised beds, pick up from the farm on Friday, get stuff in the ground (or at least care for it until I can plant). 

This is all a reminder that I don't want to be so scattered that I don't enjoy the things I enjoy. The little excursion with my neighbor is set to be a lot of fun and I don't want to rush it or be in my head about other things the entire time. 

Slow down and enjoy is my motto for this week. Can I? Maybe. I'll try at least.

On that note, best get moving. Have a good day. Later gators.
