I really do have the best intentions of writing, yet I never ever seem to follow through. What I should be doing is trying to post the weird ass dreams I've been having. Since I've taken steps and gotten some of my sleep issues in better control I've been sleeping and dreaming again and my dreams are really weird. Anyway... since I can't seem to be disciplined enough to do that at this time here is a taking stock post.
Making: Progress. I've had some projects I've wanted to do and I made a huge dent in the photo one I had. I have photos from my father's side of the family and I have all of them scanned in and labeled (to the best of my ability). That was a huge task-but really satisfying. Now I want to get them into a scrapbook with any stories I can get about them. That will clear some photo storage space and allow me to focus 100% on my next project-David's family photos!
Cooking: I made a tri tip roast earlier this week so I'll just be making a side to go with the left overs tonight-mushrooms in butter. Yum!
Drinking: Dr. Pepper.
Reading: I'm still working on my reread of The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. I'm still a few books away from the new one and man have I forgotten a lot. I'm really really glad I'm revisiting them all first!
Looking: Forward to some down time with David. We are in great need of a recharge and there is one coming up. I'm looking forward to every minute of quiet time I can get with him.
Playing: Stardew Valley. It's a low-key farming game. It's seriously about growing crops, tending animals and making friends with the village you live in.
Wasting: Time. Always. Still.
Sewing: I haven't done any sewing lately. I may get back into it when the cold weather comes. I just haven't felt much like working on anything like that.
Wishing: It was the weekend. :)
Enjoying: The Nine Inch Nails album I downloaded for my birthday.
Waiting: For happy hour with David.
Liking: Chicken wings and nachos. I need them all in my face!
Wondering: What is next up for me.
Loving: My little family unit. David and Riley are all I need. I love our little routines and rituals. Since I've been home Riley has seemed to have mellowed (she's still no lap cat). She interacts with us more, she's chatty, she's soft and seems to be less irritated by our love. It's been really nice to spend time with both of them.
Hoping: I can figure out how to get some good activity in and get some of this weight off. Seriously, ugh.
Marveling: At how cute our cat is.
Needing: To find my confidence.
Smelling: Clean air.
Wearing: Jeans, comfy t-shirt, socks, purple converse.
Following: I've started watching some YouTube channels for cooking and gaming.
Noticing: That it's finally getting cooler out.
Feeling: Content.
Opening: Nothing right now.

Taking Stock - July 2019
It's been awhile since I've done one of these. It's been awhile since I've posted anything here! I thought I'd try one of these and see what happens. :)
Making: This journal entry-one thing at a time!
Cooking: I think next up is going to be something potato related. Either smashed potatoes (David taught me how to make the best ever) or my mom's cheese potatoes.
Drinking: Dr. Pepper and water.
Reading: A new book came out in the The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. It's actually been out for quite a while but it's been long enough since the last time I read the last book (and I've read so much in-between) that I decided to re-read the series so it would make sense. They also have some novella's out that take place between books and I am finally reading those since I can read things in order. I'm currently on one of those novella's right now, The Vital Abyss. Then I get to start on Nemesis Games. I'm slowly getting to the new book, two more novellas and two more books and then I'm there. I'm enjoying the re-read. I pick up something new every time and the novella's have added some interesting insight and back story to some of the characters and events so it's been well worth the time.
Looking: Occasionally out the window. I have a view of the Nike campus, and there is always something going on over there. Right now they are doing some construction work around the main entrance (among all the other huge projects going on all over the campus) so I see a bunch of worker in orange safety vests standing around and pointing while one guy is working a cute little CAT digging machine.
Playing: Elder Scrolls Online! I'm so hooked. It's hard not to creep down and play it all the time but I'm keeping play time to evenings and weekends-after important things are done and making sure it doesn't take over like World of Warcraft did.
Wasting: Time. Always.
Sewing: I finished up some cross stitches that I need to get to people. I'm taking a break until a project comes along that inspires me and I can't get it out of my mind (like the ones I just finished).
Wishing: I wasn't so anxious about new things.
Enjoying: Feeling like I have accomplished something things. I still have things I want to do, but I have been able to cross some things off my list and that feels pretty good.
Waiting: For inspiration. I know I need to do my part.
Liking: Potatoes. I just can't get enough right now.
Wondering: What it will take to find that idea.
Loving: My husband. I know I always say that but I am so lucky to have a partner in my life that understands me. I can 100% be myself with him, say anything, and I know he's still going to love me and be there for me. I just love every day with him. I also love our cat. She's getting older, and I think she's mellowing out with us. She is a little more affectionate, and has been seeking us out for attention rather than ignoring us. I have all I need with my little family here.
Hoping: That I can maintain a good head space. Sometimes it's really easy to go down one of those gloom holes and I really have no reason to. I have a lot to be thankful and happy about. Negativity be gone!
Marveling: At how much I've been sleeping lately.
Needing: To keep working on trying new things and finding that balance.
Smelling: Mown grass.
Wearing: Jeans, comfy t-shirt, sock, sage green converse.
Following: Nothing really new. I'm a big ID channel follower, does that count?
Noticing: That I think about food a lot. And murder, but see sentence above.
Feeling: Optimistic.
Opening: I opened a new box of box wine a few days ago, does that count?
