The Allusive Goldilocks Day

Guess I jinxed myself being all "it's a protected space" day ... yada, yada.

It wasn't. My court position blew up again and it's bad. Next 2 days are prioritized for this case. It's sad on too many levels -- life knocks some people down over and over. 


I didn't hike yesterday because my back has been pulling this week -- since a hard Peloton ride. "THE injury" kind of pulling and I wanted to give it an extra day since I felt it pull again in the morning. I plan to hike early today unless the court case changes that timing or my back feels at all off.


I DID get to glaze the pottery. I messed up the big bowl and had to shift gears -- went from simple to a little crazy. The colors should be vibrant once they're fired. We'll see. Here's the before ...






No new book pick. I was up late working on the volunteer case -- phone with attorney and sending emails. No coffee shop either. But, did learn that one of the new coffee shops put in court yard seating (it was only take-out until now). That warrants a visit soon.


Today is totally up in the air and it's packed from morning to bedtime.

Early hike -- fingers crossed.

Then I'm meeting someone I met through this volunteer position. She took my number and called me for a lunch date. Not sure if this will be a friendship, but it's nice to have a friendly connection within the organization. I also appreciate people who initiate -- it's a lost art these days. 

From lunch to a town planning meeting until 5 o'clock.

Dinner at 6:30 with friends. 

ALL DAY! And, if I'm being truthful, too much. I over-scheduled. That said, something will probably have to change today -- not sure where and when. Waiting on decision makers for next steps. I won't cancel the lunch, but everything else is up for grabs. 


Well, so much for learning this balance thing. I'm still getting it wrong and I'm not sure it's ever going to be a Goldilocks Day. Maybe this is byproduct of a full life. Lots of choices. I said NO a lot and here we are -- still too much. Trying to get it a little closer. Backing out of things isn't an option (unless for court stuff, of course) so I need to balance BEFORE I say yes. 

That's what's up today. Hope you have a good one. Oh, and it's suddenly spring temps today -- what the what?!? Guess mother nature can't find a balance either. Too cold, too warm ... where are our seasonal days?!?! Best run before I start weather ranting. Later gators.
