It Was a Day. But really…all those poor people that got hit hard for Hurricane Ian, my heart goes out to them. At the last minute it shifted west a bit and Katie was saved from the hard hit she expected – she was without power for a little over 24 hours but she got it back late this afternoon so at least I’m not traveling to stay someplace with no electricity or hot water.

It was One of Those work days…you think you know what’s on your plate but SURPRISE everyone else has different plans for you 🙂 I managed to complete everything that HAD to be done by end of day before I headed south but it was a stressful day. And 1.5 flat tires. Typical.

I watched Parasite a couple nights ago…the Korean movie that won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2020 (the first foreign language film ever to win Best Picture in 92 years of Oscar history). People have been asking me for two years HAVE YOU SEEN PARASITE – cuz Korean…but it really didn’t look like my type of movie. And it WASN’T…but it was SO different than I expected. And surprising. And I feel so – I know it’s weird – proud of every success South Korea is recognized for.

But why I brought it up now is cuz the father in the movie had a whole scene talking about plans…and how there’s really no such thing as a plan.

“You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned. Look around you. Did you think these people made a plan to sleep in the sports hall with you? But here we are now, sleeping together on the floor. So, there’s no need for a plan. You can’t go wrong with no plans. We don’t need to make a plan for anything. It doesn’t matter what will happen next. Even if the country gets destroyed or sold out, nobody cares. Got it?”

He has a point (said Miss Plan Everything Within an Inch of Her Life). But I still think it’s 50/50. I prefer a “PLAN…but be prepared to PIVOT (ugh, ha) when Life has OTHER plans for you” plan.

On the bright side, it was cool enough for a little layering.

And now I have to go pack.
