3 Positives:

Success in a current 3D paper project and a simple hand cut leaf idea provided the answer need for a project finish. I’m also going to try to learn to spin!
First tomatoes of the season from the garden – BLTs for dinner
Yummy pico de gallo made with peppers and more tomatoes from the garden.

3 Positives:
The dreaded phone call wasn’t so bad after all. (I hate making phone calls!)
Finished reading a book.
Completed 3 small projects

My Journey Notes:
Waiting for the call from the dr.’s office about bloodwork — interesting results. Got down to the nitty gritty of the pharmacy issue yesterday and took care of a couple of other things while on the phone with the insurance company yesterday morning. At least that prescription snafu is sorted and hopefully an updated note will be in the system and the out of pocket info will be updated as well by tomorrow. Notes for dealing with that issue were helpful in staying on track!

3 Positives:
got caught up on a few things
enjoyed a little sunshine before it got too hot
got a little reading time in

My Journey Notes:
If it’s not on the list…. yep, it won’t get done! Things have to be on the list, calendar, somewhere visual – if it’s not, well, it’s unfinished history. We were running through the important dates for August yesterday and there’s evidently a birthday I’d forgotten about. So now that’s back on the calendar in my studio so I’ve got a visual reminder. I have a list of cards to get done in the next few days so they’re ready for delivery and mailing – today’s a good day to work on them, I think.

3 Positives:
Apricots are done for the season — 8.5 pints of nectar now ready to go on the shelf
Design cut and assembled. Turned out kind of cute.
Fun conversation with a long distance friend.

My Journey Notes:
Major migraine yesterday afternoon as a storm blew in – and then it was back on the insomnia cycle. Not my favorite thing. Did get some matting updated for an upcoming project and spent some time reading during those awake hours. Down side is being tired at starting the day after 3 hours of sleep. Hopefully tonight will be better.
