In Progress: Daily and Monthly Challenges, Week 8

 Yes, I'm running a day later than usual.  I sat in front of the computer to type up my blog post and just... couldn't do it.  There are a lot of things on my mind regarding the state of the country and I just needed distraction rather than focus.  Today, while still worried, I feel better able to handle to frustrations and still be productive.

My reading has been... I've been reading every day but I can't remember much of what I have read.  As per usual, I'm in the middle of about 5 books and I bounce between them.  My sleep-reading has continued the Guild Codex series.  I finished Slaying Monsters for the Feeble (the 2nd book in the Demonized sub-series) and started Druid Vices and a Vodka last night.  These I don't count in my over all titles for reading because I'm asleep for a lot of it.  I finished The Radical King and, once I've got the money to do so, am planning on buying a paperback copy of it that I can highlight and refer to. I haven't touched That Librarian in the last week.  Picking up physical books has been a bit more difficult.  I'm hoping to change that soon though. I am in the process of listening to the full cast recording of Good Omens and Down Among the Sticks and Bones, the next book in Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series.  I'm still making progress through The Hanging Tree.  I'm just having a harder time reading than I am listening.

My writing has been slight of late.  Mostly it's been small posts on Facebook.  I'm working toward making that happen more regularly though.  Yesterday, I pulled out my self-discovery deck.  I'm going to try to answer one prompt a day for it for the next 50 days.  Interspersed with that, I'll work on the Story of My Life.  Both, I think, will be good for me.

And, as should surprise no one, my pictures have been kept up with.  Some days it's still the last thing before I fall asleep, but I haven't missed a day yet!  I'm really hoping that this, at least, I'll be able to hit 100%.

Another late night

Big blue eyes

Sometimes I make silly faces

I like the way my necklace lays at 
the base of my throat

I seem to be glassesless a lot

I think I was trying for pensive.

And here I was trying for
mischievous 

I finally remembered my glasses!

It's Becoming Real

2025 is turning out to be an interesting year for me so far.  Things with the sale of the house are going along nicely.  We should still be on track for having the closing on the 30th (I hope).  I'm becoming more and more ok with the thought of letting the house and everything in it go, which is what's telling me that this is the right call.  I just have to let other members of the family know that this is happening. I'm also making Sunday Assembly progress.  I'm (mostly) ready for this month's assembly.  We had to move it from last Sunday to this upcoming Sunday because of the bad weather we had.  It's given me a little more time to practice my vocal parts and do at least one read through of my "Trying My Best".  Next month, I'll be hosting and I'm making progress there too.  I've got the theme, Rich will be doing the talk, and I've picked out the reading.  I just need to find someone to do the reading and someone for "Trying My B...

Writing: Self-Discovery Deck Prompt #2

  What do you know you'll regret if you don't make it happen in your life? I try really hard to live life without regrets.  Everything that does or doesn't happen makes me the person that I am.  That said, there's one thing that I'd really like to happen before I leave this world.   I want to travel outside the US. In my 50 years, I've never been outside of the United States.  Until I was 29, I hadn't been out of the Eastern Time Zone.  I'd been up and down the east coast - living in a small town in New York, visit family in Florida, visiting Washington DC, moving to Florida, moving to New York City, moving to Philly... and I loved every minute of these trips and moves.  But I wanted to see more of the country. At 29, I went to visit a friend/partner in Montana.  I was so excited to see a different landscape.  And it was.  The mountains were far different than the ones on the east coast.  The air felt different.  The peopl...
