Use your expiring Kroger points before they vanish
Convert expiring Kroger points today, thanks
The trail loops around behind the community garden and then opens up by those big oak trees, so it is a nice easy route.
I remember walking there years ago and the path just stopped at the fence, but now it connects all the way through to the park. If we go early enough it stays quiet and the light comes through the branches in a way that makes everything look softer. I can bring a thermos of coffee and some of those little snack bars I made.
Nothing fancy, just something to keep us going. Let me know if Saturday works or if Sunday would be better.
I figure we can park near the gravel lot and walk the whole loop once and then decide if we want to go farther. Should be a good way to spend an hour or two without making it a big production.
Hope your week settled down a bit. Talk soon.

But once I started pulling everything out, I found a few containers I forgot we even had. Nothing exciting, just some dried beans and an extra bag of rice.
It made me realize how often we buy duplicates of things without meaning to. Like yes, we absolutely needed another jar of cinnamon apparently.
I kept the good jars and wiped down the shelves, and now when I open that cabinet it feels less chaotic.
I also rearranged some of the cookbooks by height, which sounds ridiculous but honestly makes the whole corner of the kitchen feel calmer.
Maybe I will tackle the hallway closet next.
I keep telling myself I will go through the coats and donate a couple that never leave the hanger.
It never takes as long as I think once I actually start, but getting started is the hardest part for some reason.
Anyway, that was my Tuesday. Riveting, I know.
I guess sometimes the most ordinary tasks end up being the ones that shift how things feel around the house.
Let me know how your week is going when you get a minute. No rush.
Also I found that one measuring cup I thought I lost, tucked behind the blender.
Small wins. Talk later.
Right now Walmart points are changing into a 1OO card
Later I watched a documentary about octopuses and learned they can solve puzzles and recognize people. My mind was honestly blown for the rest of the evening. I told my neighbor about it and she said she already knew, which made me feel a little behind on marine biology news.
Anyway, I have been trying to get outside more before the weather shifts. There is a path near the old mill that takes about forty minutes to walk, and the light through the trees in the afternoon is something else. I keep forgetting my water bottle though, which is not ideal for a longer route.
What have you been up to? Have you started that book you mentioned a while back, or is it still sitting on the shelf waiting for the right rainy day?

After that I made a huge pot of soup and invited a couple of neighbors over. We talked about everything from gardening to which local bakery has the best sourdough right now. I am still convinced the place on Elm Street wins, but everyone had their own favorite.
I have also been playing around with a new playlist while I cook. Lots of old jazz and some newer stuff mixed in. Music in the kitchen makes such a difference, especially when you are chopping vegetables or waiting for water to boil.
Hope your week is going well. Let me know if you want to catch up soon, maybe try that new trail by the river before it gets too busy.

Converting today: Walmart points into a 1OO card
Also, I finally got around to cleaning out that back closet, and I found a box of random cords and chargers. If you need anything for an older phone or a camera, let me know. I probably have a match for whatever you are looking for. Better than letting it all sit in a drawer. Anyway, that is the update from my side. Hope your morning is going well.

I also tried a new way of organizing my notes this week, instead of having five different notebooks scattered around I just started using one single place for everything. It sounds obvious, but for some reason I always tricked myself into thinking I needed separate categories in separate spots. Turns out that just made everything harder to find later. Now there is one notebook, one running list, and if I need to find something I only have to flip through one stack of pages. Revolution, honestly. Not sure why it took me this long to figure that out. Let me know if you have any good systems like that. I love hearing how other people keep their heads on straight.
