Currently in August

HOW is it August?

I haven't done a "Currently" list lately and it got me thinking about what am I doing currently? Anything new and different? Likely not, but a girl can dream.

Reading:

I'm ahead of my arbitrary reading goal this year. I've had a good run this year of good books. I'm currently reading Rock, Paper, Scissors from Alice Feeny. Jury is still out whether it'll make the favorites list. 

Eating:

Hello....HelloFresh! I started HelloFresh on June 22 and assumed I'd get bored in a couple of weeks. And here we are in August and I can hardly wait for this week's delivery. They have really got me hooked. The recipe options are varied and I rarely see a duplicate of a previous recipe I tried. Much to my disappointment for some I want to remake. Every week I look forward to the meals and am actually eating leftovers. It's a win win. 

Stressing Over:

Phew. The last couple weeks of work have been a bit stressful, but that's work and that's how it goes sometimes. BUT...the recent stress is my little boy Linus. That booger has been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (common for cats) and he gets to go on medication. A small pill twice a day. Isn't this going to be fun? What worries me is when I go on vacation and have to have a pet sitter come in and dose him. I found someone (a recommendation from my previous sitter who retired from pet sitting) and man alive is it expensive when you have to have medications administered. He's worth it. I think. I did tell him he might have to get a job. He apparently decided to "sleep" on it. 

Crafting:

Scrapbooking continues to keep my creative mind occupied. I recently finished a project of scrapping all the Sunday Dinner photos over the last 15 years. What a trip that was! The 15 year anniversary is coming up in Sept and I thought it'd be fun to walk down memory lane. It sure was for me. Two crafty friends and I started doing weekly challenges. The first week from F was a layout. The second week from A was a real live challenge ( use map background paper, wood veneer, washi tape, stamping and something black).

I decided to scrap the travel books for Greece. I've been wanting to do that and use some stash I had laying around. It turned out to be easier than I thought. Though finding the wood veneer was tough. I don't have too much of that. 

Planning: 

Greece is coming up FAST. I started doing my research of the places we're going to and am starting to get more excited about the trip. I also started getting my butt to the gym to start walking more. I know I can't be in "shape" in time for the trip, but I can be in better shape then I am in now. I went 5 days straight last week. My goal is to go every work day I can. Weekends are up for grabs. It's gonna depend on how I feel. Stay tune for that. 

Watching:

Same old. Same old. True crime. The summer has some interesting series I enjoy. It keeps me entertained.

Happy August everyone. Christmas is right around the corner.
