July Report

The title of this post should be:
An Optimist's Ever Hopeful Recording of Her Actual Life Hoping That It Will Read Like the Life She Wishes It Were Instead of What It Really Is

Perhaps that is a little more negative than I actually feel. Here is how my actual life is:

I don't want to list it all, so I'll just say it.

1. (Okay, I do love lists.) I didn't do great on any of my first things first things this month. In fact I sort of took the month off. I've eaten what I want to eat, failed to exercise these last two weeks, and did so-so on remembering to read my scriptures and say my prayers.
What I did do: rest and relax and sleep in whenever I could.
Evaluation: July felt great. I need to do this every once in a while. I will kick it in again in August.

2. Family History (my new name for this category): Fabulous! Orva and I finished scanning Ray's parent's slides. We did over 7000 scans in the last three months (hence the break the last two weeks - I needed the R&R). One very small negative note: we found some more slides that will need to be done. But we are not in a rush to finish them.

3. Projects? What projects? Everything has given way to the scanning. I haven't kept up on the yard, or house. see #1. for what I did do.
Next month, or September: paint my bedroom! perhaps a little cleaning here or there also. Perhaps. Depends on how well I kick it in, so to speak.

That's as much as I feel like reporting. It's July. I've taken a break. July isn't over, so I'm still taking a break.

Now I need to go hunt down some serious chocolate.
