What to do...

Welp...it is 10 am and this day is shaping up to be pretty damn good! Whoops...sorry about that 'damn' in there...lol Woke up waaaaaay too early for going to bed so late, ended up porning out cause I was stressed and horny, but got that squared away. Now what to fill my day with? Going out with Michael and his BFF Chris tonight for some serious Mexican food at Jalapenos in Brookside. Cool little restaurant that my friend Debbie and her husband owns.

I know I am going to get some yard work done. Have a few shrubs and hostas to get into the ground, putter around the garden a bit and maybe do some trimming around the place. Kind of spruce it up for company in case we head back here. I love having friends over and seeing the enjoyment they get out of this space I am making for myself. Need to shop for a gas BBQ grill. (blasphemy I know, don't worry, I still have my charcoal Weber and my hickory smoker and the Big Green Egg) I just need something I can fire up quick to sear some chicken or steaks for company and a rapid, healthy meal. This is the summer of Smoke and Fire! I can feel it. Need to thaw some steaks for Mother's Day this weekend. Bought some AMAZING beef at the Farmers Market that I am dying to taste. HUGE steaks and a full packers brisket to smoke. I know my Dad is going to like that!

Might head out to the lake today, for a bit. See if Austin has his dock in and situated and just kind of hang around the marina and yacht club. Always stuff to do and people to see. :) It is nice to watch winter shaking off the whole community like rain drops and people getting out and about for Spring and Summer. I cannot wait till the water warms up and it is once again time to carve some water and hoist some sail. (the canvas kind, not the tent in your pants kind)

Hmm..thinking about taking four days off next week to hit the road for a bit. Going to head down to Eureka Springs for some R and R and time to think on the road? Time to zoom around some twisties and think about life right now. It is always a great place to explore, hike, relax at the spa, get a massage, shop for art, write, take photos and kind of get re-centered on what my priorities are. I like to hit the open road as much as possible and this looks to be a good time to pause and reflect, grab some me space and just breathe. Plus, Spring is SO beautiful down in the Ozarks. Yeah...need to make some reservations later today. Good idea, Daemon! :D

The rest of the weekend is kind of shot with work and family. Need to grab some stuff (what do you buy for the lady who everything in the world that my Dad can possibly provide?) for Mom and Mother's Day too. We are all heading out to my little sisters place for Sunday and just grill, eat, hang out, enjoy the kids and kind of catch up on every body's life and stuff. It will be good to see my brother again. We have been so busy. Would do me good to sit down with him and Dad and sort some circumstances and options out. Get their take on my current life situation. Thinking about having Michael come along, if he's not headed south to visit his family? That might be good! I'll ask him tonight. Chris has been rattling around the house since Hal is out of town with work, poor guy. Just him and those three crazy dogs! Tonight will be great!

Hmm..that's about it. Got my running done, time to clean up, scrape off my face and get my day going, such that it is. To all those who have been praying for me, many thanks! I love you all.

Pax,

Daemon
