Not only did this week get away from me, but it looks like the whole month of July did as well. Did I accomplish any of my goals for the month? A few. I’m seeing 65% completed.
1)
Write
4,000 words on my next novel. Somehow, I wrote 6820 words. I find that hard to believe as I
haven’t written anything in the last week and a half, and it felt like every
word I wrote the entire month was like birthin’ a baby. Hmm? I guess I’ll keep
plugging away at it then.
2)
Edit
the latest devotional that I started writing. Hmm? I worked on it a little
bit but didn’t really do any editing.
Reaching:
1) Promote one
of my latest works, “Prior to Now”, “Chris Coping with the Covid- 19 Crisis” and “Holding All the Aces” once a
week. Nope, probably more
like every other week.
2)
Attend vendor sale on July 3. Done.
3)
Research other vendor sales. Done, signed up for one October 7.
Reading:
1)
Read two books. Yes,
done.
2)
Read and study four chapters in the Book of Acts for my Thursday Bible
study group. Only did three
chapters, but since we only met three times during the month, I really have to call it accomplished.
Retiring:
1)
Go camping one week. Yes,
and it was miserable, but we will try again soon.
2)
Research my trip to Cambodia in the fall once a week. Only did twice all month.
3)
Secure cheaper health insurance by the end of July, assuming I won’t
have to stay on the expensive
insurance, because now my back is a pre-existing condition. I have to delete this because my back is still being
dumb, so I had to stick with the expensive insurance
for one more month.
Ranching:
1)
Thoroughly clean one room in the house. No,
still not up to it.
2)
Complete a sewing project. Hmm? I sewed a pair of shorts and did a
few other mending projects, so yes.
3)
Work on my family tree once a week. Hmm? Again I think it was only once or twice.
Argh! I’ve been going to a different chiropractor, which seems to be helping a little. I’m also trying to take a half-mile walk every day as well as the exercises my physical therapist gave me. I’m also getting another massage next week. We’ll see.
But I leave for Cambodia in six weeks, so this back has got to be 98% better by then.
So what else do I want to get done in August?
Writing:
1)
Write
4,000 words on my next novel, “Ice Cream Spies.”
2)
Edit
the latest devotional that I started writing. The working title is “Bones, and
Stones, and Pain, oh my.”
Reaching:
1)
Promote one of my latest works, “Prior to Now”, “Chris Coping with the
Covid- 19 Crisis” and “Holding All the
Aces” once a week.
2) Promote the vendor sale on October 7.
3) Sew four book bags for the vendor
sale on October 7.
4)
Research other fall vendor sales.
5) Actually pay for some sort of advertising,
because what little I am doing on my own is simply
not enough.
Reading:
1)
Finish reading “Anna Karenina.” This is a crazy goal. That book is soooo ridiculously
long! I’ve been at it for a week and have
only read 10%..
2)
Read and study four chapters in the Book of Acts for my Thursday Bible
study group.
Remaining:
1)
Go camping.
2)
Once a week do research my trip to Cambodia in the fall. Also meet up
with my friend who is going
there with me, to discuss our plans.
3)
Seriously get that cheaper health insurance by the end of the month, coz
I’m just not going to pay this much anymore.
I’m also really going to take it easy all month. I have to take better care of myself this month to get ready for Cambodia.
Well, that’s it for now. By the time I post my goals again, summer will be over. Make it a good month. Chris

| I went for a hike with my sister one day, |
 |
| went for walks with my daughter and her dog on two separate days, |
 |
| took a mile walk around our nearest state park, |
 |
| and spent one night at a cabin with my daughter. No wonder I didn't get more done! But our summer is too short as it is. A person has to get out and enjoy it while you can. |
