Speed Humps

As the weekend is coming up, I'm slowing down for that last little speed hump. I slept late this morning and took a nap this afternoon, but I still feel tired. So when my body says to rest (and I ask multiple times if it is sure), then I rest. 

I need to be fully prepared tomorrow because I've been asked to take part in a documentary about green solutions. Specifically, about wind turbines. I know they are everywhere in Texas, but other than the eyesore they offer, I haven't noticed any benefit from them. Yes, somehow I've been asked to do interesting things and I'm loving it! 

Have a great start to the weekend as it's a holiday weekend. The only labor I want to see happen on Monday is Flora delivering a calf.

Podcast Wednesday

Today, I was invited to be on a podcast. It was a neat experience! Rebekah and I just sat and talked about how the things I'm doing and a little about the way I am the way I am. It was completely low key and went smoothly. 

Will I ever set up my own podcast? No, probably not. I'm a visually dynamic person that I don't think always comes across solely in spoken form. Meaning, I talk with my hands a lot because sometimes I don't speak words well lol. Without even hearing the finished work yet - will probably air Monday - I already know I said "right", "exactly", and I probably uhhed and uh huh'd several times. 

It was a new adventure and one that didn't kill me. Off to tomorrow's adventure!

Goofing Around

Sometimes when the stress starts to bubble up in a negative way, I have to take some time with my animals. Some of my friends are going through their own things and while I help as much as I can, I can't solve all the problems and I know that. 

Anyway, with the nicer temps, it was great going out and spending some time with everyone. The biggest surprise was Rose let me pet her! The best time though was selfies with Dandy. He's gotten to be so much of a ham that I got some great shots. Enjoy and I'll share another adventure tomorrow!

Cooler Temp, Faster Speed

You get me days like today where it wasn't blistering hot and I get a lot more done! I visited with eight different groups of people today and went through a shorter (thankfully) City Council meeting. Monday is complete and I've earned $100 for the theater, gained a potential Chamber member, and started the ball rolling on a new project. Not too shabby! 

While I was away, the Rob did play. Well, he took it upon himself to travel an hour away to support the Junior High Volleyball team. We know a couple of the kids on the team, so it's great to be able to support them. 

All the animals are well and hopefully we get our air conditioner repaired soon!

Interesting Weekend

Lots of drama in our sleepy little town, but I'm trying to stay out of it to the best of my ability. It's difficult when I'm involved in so many things. I'm not going to share the drama (unless it's on stage), so I'll just share the fun! 

Our surface on the sun farmer's market went well on Friday. We're challenged with away football games, but we still have a healthy following. It's fun to get together, but if we have another one that's over 105⁰, you can count me out. I have my limits. 

Friday night, we had a quick but tumultuous shower that fried one of our air conditioners, but hopefully that'll be fixed this week. Again, I have my limits. 

Today though, I did my best to rest and relax. This week is another just week, but I'm going to try some new things as well. Stay tuned and have a great start to the week! 

My Brogan is just a sweetheart. A smelly sweetheart.

Busy Thursday

Another busy day and a chockfull weekend ahead! I did get a few hours this afternoon to relax, so that was good. It would have been better if it wasn't the hottest day on record, but whatever. 

Here's the thing people don't get though, I'm happy. I'm not working for "the man", instead I'm working for me and my friends. My community. Are their frustrations? Sure, nothing's perfect, but I'm clever enough to blaze my own path and see what happens. I'm more energized than I've probably ever been before in my life and luckily, I'm juggling all the balls well. I don't care if I sound like I'm tooting my own horn, it's my horn to toot!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone and if you're sitting on some cooler temps or rain, please share.

Busy Wednesday

Are y'all getting the theme of this week yet? Here things were supposed to get slower for me after the play and I'm not seeing that happening. It's ok, there's always tomorrow. 

I did manage to spend some time with my animals today. I even got to pet my squatter rabbit today! It's technically my neighbor's rabbit, but Bugs likes to hang out here. So soft to pet! Beautiful white fur, but I don't dig the red eyes. 

But, I started planning a vacation today! There's light at the end of the tunnel, just have to dig some more first.
