Challenge 2: Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.


One upside to the heatwave is that I've had the first ocean swim of the year! 🌊

Challenge 4: Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.

This is not a Top 10, but it is a list of ten recent good things, in no order of rank.
  1. The Rain on a Tent ambient noise generator from myNoise (even better with slider animation on!)
  2. Actual rain (we finally got some)!!
  3. Cold grapes straight from the fridge
  4. My friend who needed surgery finally got it after days of delay!
  5. Solitude by Black Sabbath. I was really surprised to learn this was a Sabbath song, it's so soft and folky.
  6. About 45 minutes ago I captured and released a moth, and noticed it left behind some dust on the inside of my hand -- I anxiously googled, and found that actually, moths losing some scales is fine! Hurrah!
  7. I went for a run two days ago expecting it to be murder as I don't exercise at all, but it was fine!! I may have to do it again just for that. (Muscles still screaming, though, and I work evenings all week. Maybe on Sunday!)
  8. This blog on tumblr that identifies fonts!
  9. Postcard from a friend arrived 💗
  10. This whole bit from Jon Stewart last night, but if you don't want to watch all the serious political talk and would just like something a bit more uplifting, start from 24:54

Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.

Goals for the second half of 2025, copied from my New Year's Resolutions list!

🌻 Buy a new bra - I hate shopping for bras, so I need the reminder. 😅

🌻 Crochet one [1] granny square - So far I've only learned how to do single crochet stitches and then got distracted, but my friend gave me a great crocheting book for my birthday, so I'm motivated! The ultimate goal is to make 9 or so squares (depending on size) and sew them onto one of my old totebags. 

🌻 Read three books - Done! 🎉 I set this goal suuuper low on purpose because I never know if I'm going to hit a reading slump or not. This year I re/discovered not one but two series of great, short, light reading books, so I've read 3.5 Cadfael novels and 2 Jeeves and Wooster novels so far, plus one Doctor Who novelisation. At this rate I'm mostly on track for 12 books this year, which for me is v. good!

🌻 Comment on at least 1 fanfic per month - So far this year I've missed May, but otherwise I'm on track!

🌻 Post on Dreamwidth once per month - Heheh! This one I'm not doing so well with, but I'm persevering!

🌻 Highly ambitious goal: Get a new job - This one is mostly motivated by money: I'm not unhappy where I am, but the pay just isn't good enough (retail) when I'm only working part time. I am paying my rent though, so for now I'm allowing myself to not stress about it too much, and only apply to jobs I think actually sound nice, for my sanity.

🌻 Post one (1) anonymous fic on the Best Enemies kink meme - This one I thought would be really easy, and then it was really hard!! I think I get too in my head about writing to prompts, even when I really like the prompts: 'What if this isn't what the prompter wanted at all!' and so on.
