Can We Pull Off a Surprise?

The last day of my solo week -- it wasn't quite long enough. A couple more days would have done the trick, oh well. 

Back in the thick today with a fun surprise for my aunt. A lot hinges on MY execution and I'll give it the best I can. It's awfully hard to pull off a surprise like this. I made reservations for Saturday too and that's a relief to have it off my list. I told everyone a false time because of my cousin-in-law who is perpetually very late to everything. She's giving a ride to part of the group. We'll see if it works. It's a small restaurant and we're a big group -- not fair to hold up tables for her lateness (can you tell I'm bitter lol -- she's often an hour late to things, no exaggeration).


I finished about half the list yesterday. Started with the most important, bumped what I could to next week, and will close up the list today and tomorrow. 


Of course, I'm starting to fill up March. I am TRYING to be selective. Nixed a few ideas. I want to start hiking with the club again -- finding some hikes that fit my reduced fitness (building back up) and timing. 

There are a few things with my women's action group coming up too. I'd like to go, but it's a press on the calendar. Should I?? I'll think about it a bit.

It's a cycle for me -- too much, rest, too much again. Is this good or ridiculous? Probably the latter, especially since I complain about it all the time.



Short and sweet today after 2 long chats yesterday. I want to run and I need to get outside at first light for enough time to finish my morning before The Surprise begins. 

I'll end with pictures of flowers from Trader Joe's I got last week -- still beautiful. I shared 2 vases with my DILs. Best value for flowers. 





Have a good day. Later gators.
