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!

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...

Other Updates - Dad's House, Decluttering and Letters

 Today, I had the closing on Dad's house.  It was far quicker than I expected, and much easier.  It was also a bit bittersweet because all I can think of are the things I left behind.  I know that I don't want or need them, but there's that bit of regret that always seems to happen with things like this.  But at least this part has finished.  I just need to wait for another couple months to get the remainder of the money after debts are paid.  There shouldn't be a lot of them so I should still get a good amount.  That, combined with what I'm getting back from my taxes... I should have a bit of a hefty padding to keep us afloat if things go bad. I spent time this past week decluttering my closet.  I got rid of a lot of crap that was just taking up space, reorganized my clothes in the closet, and put several things in a bag for Goodwill.  I was pretty pleased with how it all came out, and I'm no longer afraid of opening my closet to get so...
