Aug. Prep.

I am getting ready for Aug. making plans and going over my notes. Setting up my Journals and planners. I got a new planner it was too small so I am using it as a health tracker, food, meds, and exercise. I am a type one diabetic and do better when I track that stuff.

I got the bigger size planner, for weekly chores the only thing is that it has a black border on the top of the pages so I will have to try my gel pens there in gold or other colors gel to write there for the stuff I would track in that spot. washi tape or something. I can always get other pages but I do not have the punch for it to put the holes in the pages.

I love this time of year when the school supplies are out. We have not heard if they have made a decision on school this fall or not. I tried some new gel pens by sharpie this week I did not like them as well as 

the other brands that I have been using. They are not always in stock. 

I had some estate stuff to deal with last week it is on going this month for a while longer.

My granddaughter has been here and I am trying to think about how I would be if they do not have regular school schedule. We still do not know the schedule or plan for this school year, I got some journals and books with that in mind just in case. One is in Spanish. on the title and blank unlined journal. My grand daughter is learning spanish on her phone I thought she might be interested in using that one. We will see. I had a few other things on hand I rounded up, comp. notebook, pack of pens, tissues, etc. that might come in handy. I found a list on line for her grade that included tissues, and wipes. Had those too I have a book bag so I will put things in it for her to use here or where ever. 

I was tickled to find some lined blank journals for me to use I was delighted to find several. They were on my wish list before I went in. I stopped by my favorite local taco stand, their till was whacky I said I would be back for my order the thrift shop was nearby, I had ordered food to go far an early dinner.

I did some gardening this morning and got some cherry tomatoes for a snack that I had grown.
Growing your own veggies takes all the fun out of going to the farmer's market! It was over by the time I was done with my errands anyway.  My zucchini did better last year than this year. Cukes are not doing anything again this year 2nd year on a row for that.  

I am trying to get back on track with my routines in Aug. I sorted journals I am done with and some other books. I have an idea for some crafting book covers and such, I need to clear the photos I took out of the dresser so I can use the table in the rec. room. Then I can consider painting that dresser. And using the folding table the photos are on. 

I have some zone work to consider like the sewing area this quarter. I have been down sizing photo albums that is quite a relief to have done some progress on, not one of the tasks I enjoy and rather dread it if I am honest about it. 

Hot weather in the triple digits here makes working in the cool basement more desirable than other 

times of the year.
