... August is full upon us, the Perseids have peaked, schools are back in session, and summer is winding down. Iris, peonies, weigelas, bleeding hearts, and creeping phlox all done, as is the magnolia tree. The blooms survived this year!!! So incredibly beautiful! We now have Echinacea, black-eyed susans, russian sage, melissa, garden phlox, and butterfly bushes! The little hummingbird has become a daily regular. She is absolutely amazing! It continues to feed my soul to be out there in the backyard, cleaning, trimming, weeding, transplanting, and just sitting.
Old Business:
- Still working through Massage is Weird, but very near the end
- Wool has gotten incredibly good, and I don't ever want to put it down. It has helped me get my love of reading back - what an incredible gift. I started out only being able to do 1-2 pages at a time, but now do a full chapter in 1 sitting
- Trail Guide, still plugging along, 3-4x per week
- Planning for Success, not successful at all lol
- Magazines, good
- Running - horrible! Did do 1 5K with almost no training. And ran all but about .5 miles, so I can do it, but am still struggling with heart rate and breathing
- Craft table is actually pretty good right now!
- Cleaning - rolling along, getting more consistent
- Guitar - not so good, but...
- Sanding booth - almost done, but now laundry equipment is in the way until I get it up to 022.
- K at the office continues to just be marvelous!
- Visited the cousin in Denver, had SSOOOOO much fun! It was way too short!
- Church conference in Cinci is done. Drive down was beautiful, huge learning experience, difficult on the neurodivergent brain, but so glad I did it.
New Business:
- Looking forward to AMTA conference next week!
- No longer dating donut dude. Too many reasons to list, but most important, just not who I wanted to be with long term
- Got fence section put back up, and have started replanting that area!
- Have hosted my 019 kiddo a couple of times, that has been wonderful!
- Last thing I did with donut dude was go to Bluespring Caverns down in S Indiana. That was absolutely gorgeous!
