Long Time, No See

Hey, friends!  It's been a while, and my home computer may be disconnected for the next few days, so I thought I'd at least check in tonight.  I'll write more when I'm at work on Tuesday.

I've been busy planning a mini-remodel lately (new paint, flooring, etc.) - I'm super excited to see it all come together, but getting there is a bit of a stressful process.  From making 500 small decisions about things I rarely pay much attention to - to everything costing more than I had hoped and one purchase often leading to another - to getting quotes and choosing a contractor - to struggling to communicate with them via text bc of speed-reading on their end - to prepping the house by myself - to realizing today that I'll struggle to fully relax until this is completed... it's not my strong suit, but it's probably all good practice for me. After taking everything off the walls and shelves and cabinet tops yesterday, I'm feeling strong and capable and a little exhausted today.  I'm incredibly grateful for the privilege of getting to do this and I know it'll all be worth it in the end - but today I got emotional because I was really feeling the stress of it, and that's okay too. #feelyourfeelings  Sometimes life is messy, and the pandemic certainly isn't helping.  OMG, I also learned of the existence of "murder hornets" today, aaaand I'm not okay with it.  That is Hunger Games tracker-jacker level terrifying, and it's a possibility that I'd die of a heart attack before it actually stung me - YIKES.  Anyway, you can tell I'm tired and brain foggy because this is rambly nonsense. lol  I'll do a full update with before-and-after pics on the remodel project when it's all done... hopefully by the end of this month!

That being said, here's a gif pic that makes me feel peaceful.

This = the pool and golf course view from my parents' kitchen window, and I love it! ❤

And here's an encouraging verse! ❤

I'm tired and ready to relax, so that's all I've got for tonight, but I'll see you Tuesday with a better post and photo update.  Hope you've had a good weekend!
