Sunday Somethings- July 2024

Sunday Somethings- July 2024

Hello, Sunday.

Hello, July!

Well, June was a bit of a whirlwind in that I overcommitted myself in almost every single way. I felt like 2014 Chrissy was back in full swing, and since I don’t regularly live my life as such high speed these days, I ended the month utterly exhausted. July is definitely looking better.

For now I’m committing to little, and I hope I can keep my resolve as temptations lurk at every corner.

As for this weekend, it has been a whole lotta chill. While I am working tomorrow, today is spent on the couch, the first in a while. I hope you also get some couch time, or whatever gives you your chill.

July? Let’s go.

wishing: this silly Canadian haze would go away.

hoping: some of my friends make it here to visit!

thinking: of the to-do list, always.

praying: that one of my best’s luck turns around.

planning: a possible little jaunt to NYC for my birthday.

dreaming: of 2024 travel!

wearing: my new suit

watching: suits, finally.

eating: salads galore! got a twist on this one coming up.

reading: go tell the bees that I am gone.

wondering: what the second half of 2023 will bring.

What’s your July look like?
