End of July? Really?

Where is my summer going? I just looked at the calendar and was amazed. What happened to July?

We have not been to the lake once to go swimming. We've taken the dogs, but we have not gone ourselves. We have not been to a single garage sale. That's something that is fun to do just to get out of the house. We haven't really gone anywhere and done anything fun. Only a few week left of summer--I better come up with something fun!

The weather has been cool all summer. Unseasonably cool. We're looking at 70s for the next 10 days. Sheesh, what happened to our 100 degree weather with tons of humidity? It hasn't really felt like summer, although I must admit I enjoy having the windows open with the cool, fresh air coming in.

I am starting to feel the time crunch hit me. I have some projects that I need to get finished before summer, plus I have to plan out our school year. All our books have arrived and they're stacked on the kitchen counter just waiting for me. Ugh.

When school starts, I'll have much less computer time. I worry about that because I love reading blogs, commenting, and keeping up with people. I'm not going to have time to do a lot of that. I will make time to read, but my commenting may slow down. I don't like that, because I love to give support. It's just that homeschooling takes my time and energy. That has to come first--one can't mess with their child's education.

I have my two-week checkup tomorrow. I get to tell him I've been one of the lucky people that have bled continuously since the surgery. The paperwork said I could bleed for up to three weeks. I'm tired of that, but I can't complain too much because it's light and I've only had mild cramps on occasion. I've had a period in there somewhere. Who knows when it started or finished. I have to be patient. I am very hopeful to find what my new normal is going to be. Life without all that pain and icky stuff is going to be so different, so wonderful.

With all my planning for fall, school, projects, I need to remember to live in the now. I get caught up in some weird thinking: if this isn't done, we really shouldn't do that. I need to get over that and make the most of the last few weeks of summer.

Time flies, whether you're having fun or not, so it's I think it's a good idea to have some fun along the way.
