The State of the Ficcery: July 2024
Jul. 31st, 2024 07:58 pmJuly is gone. Wow.
Monthly Word Count: 34,565
Writing: 99% of my writing was my soap opera update because 9 July was a landmark day and I wanted to reach a certain point in the plot--ending the first arc--by that day. BUT I also did 10 drabbles for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sweetandshort using dad jokes and 4 ficlets for vocab_drabbles using the language of flowers.
Reading: I finished the Bingo! Huzzah! I actually read 7 books this month, which is a lot for me! This month, I am doing 4:50 from Paddington for All of Agatha and I am going to savor it. And pray for a Lucy Eylesbarrow to deliver me from domestic drudgery.
Collage & Crafts: I finished my cross stitch gift & 3 jigsaw puzzles (also a lot). 5 spreads & 2 cards.
Health & Fitness: I am still training for the 10k. 17 days of running either outdoors or at the Y. I did 16 days of Yoga with Adriene! Didn't lose an ounce. You know the adage: You can't outrun a bad diet. My picture should be beside that (if I allowed my picture to be taken, which I don't).
Personal Spending was out of control! Today I did back-to-school clothing shopping and wanted a lie-down when I saw the total. Minor is wearing men's size clothes. I allowed him to pick out his own underpants (like a man!) and at the register, they ended up being $88! I nearly had a heart attack. (We Put Some Back).
This month, the boys are going to a professional soccer game with their dad and without me! And the county fair is this coming week. And school starts on 26 Aug. Minor will be in 8th grade (so last year of middle school) and Minisculus will be in 4th (still elementary school).
I would like to focus on 1. slowing down and being one pointed (the oppositie of multi-tasking) 2. increasing my distance in 10k training 3. Super Secret Craft Project 4. poetry 5. getting my star-cross lovers in my soap opera reunited (one is in jail, the other has amnesia).
On y va to August!
