Friday 7 Quick Takes (vol 17)


1.


I’m about finished with my 4th week doing The Artist’s Way (affiliate link). Week 4′s big assignment is to not read. No leisurely reading. For me this translates to no blog reading, no reading in waiting rooms, no reading if I hop on a campus bus, no reading during lunch hours, no reading before bed. It was torture and I definitely flailed and failed. More on the whys and hows regarding my no reading experience next week. I cannot wait til Sunday, when I can read my blogs without guilt.

I’ve spent a pretty penny on my car this week which has me bummed. I had to bail out on social engagements and looks like I’ll have a skeletal social calendar the next 1.5 months. One of the silver linings is I know a lot more about how tires are graded than I did before this week. Other silver linings are the good health of myself and loved ones, I’m employed, and I have good people in my life.

Speaking of skeletal social calendars and good people in my life, my friend Cindy is coming for a visit from Houston this weekend. I think I can afford a cupcake. I told her other than that I plan on staring at her pretty face for free. I’m going to introduce her to Polkadot Cupcakes after work today.

Yesterday’s VEDA topic was “somewhere you want to travel.”

I’m astounded that we’re already flirting with September. Wha?!?!? There’s so much to do still! I don’t think I’ll be getting out of the country as hoped in light of my pocketbook taking dips lately (other personal dips). I’m bummed about that.

I still don’t know what I want to do with my life but I feel optimistic and ready.
