Taking Stock - September 2019

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.
