TGIF

Yesterday was pretty much a bare minimum day and I don’t expect much more from today. Frankly, I am exhausted. If it wasn’t for the fact that this sweet dog needs to go out I would not have even gotten out of bed this morning and I might even have called in sick.

Hopefully, the little shots of coffee my espresso-size Moka pot makes will gradually do their job. I don’t have high hopes, especially since it’s so gloomy outside. Of course cool and cloudy is not such a bad thing in the middle of July. At least the dog and I aren’t experiencing heatstroke when we leave the apartment.

As I write this I am listening to the sounds of this space. The balcony door is open, and I mostly hear the cars on the major road just a block from here. It’s morning rush hour traffic and I’m very glad I don’t have to be in one of those cars. I am going to miss that sound. From my window at home, it’s not nearly as loud but it is still part of the background noise of living here.

Two weeks from today my fiancé flies in to help me drive my stuff to my new home. Just that thought has me perking up (the shot of caffeine might be helping too). I’m getting so excited y’all.

I am nowhere near ready, but that doesn’t matter, which is very weird. I should be getting frantic about how much I still have left to do, but I’m not. I have faith that I will be able to get it all done. Mostly that comes from knowing that if I forget anything I can just buy another or have my mom ship it to me. It does take a lot of the stress away.

Just a little side note that has me a little less stressed also…I discovered DoorDash has finally arrived in Dunlap, Tennessee. I had a dasher pick up some basil plant grow pots and a bag of Funyons from Walgreens to deliver to the fiancé’s front porch.

There aren’t a lot of options, granted, but there are options, and she was delighted by the surprise.

It’s the little things, right?

Be well my friends.
