Have had a very nice, relaxing weekend. Yesterday went with a friend for a drive up into the mountains toward Asheville, where we had a lovely and leisurely lunch at the Deerpark Restaurant on the Biltmore Estate. Fall color has begun but isn't yet at peak. It's gotten a little slower start this year.
Was not feeling well at all between my stomach and my hip and leg pain. It dawned on me that my stomach has been giving me problems over a period of days. It didn't just begin yesterday. I think it's all out of my system now, as I'm feeling much better today. The cathartic crying spell I had while journaling this morning may have helped as well. That came as a bit of a surprise to me. I somehow tapped into feelings that I had either ignored, buried or was in denial about. Wrote pages and pages!
Today was a gorgeous day, and I forced myself to get some exercise. I drove out to Furman University to walk along the lake and take photos of the gorgeous roses that are on their second round of blossoming. They're prettier now than they were in May!
I think I mentioned before that I was considering purchasing a baker's rack that was on sale to help make my kitchen more functional. Well today I decided that it wasn't going to work and instead ordered a moveable chef's cart with a butcher block top. It comes with two shelves, but I ordered a third shelf plus some hanger hooks for the sides. I can use it as an island or up against a wall. I think it's much more practical and will encourage me to do more cooking. I can't wait until it comes!
