June Recap and FIC
July already? ::boggles::
June was a busy month for me. Lots of Zoom meetings for work, the last scramble for my boy to finish up schoolwork, and my mother-in-law finally came home after a month in the hospital (for non-COVID reasons). I also finally got down to two shifts a week at Second Job, which I’d spent months angling for.
I also went to a party. The first non-work gathering of people I’ve been to since the pandemic started. I wore my mask there, but literally no-one else was wearing one, or maintaining social distance, and I felt really uncomfortable. And also, there was unspoken pressure to not wear my mask.
Dude, this stuff is hard!
In exciting news, I got all my new furniture last month! My house looks so good! I got an armchair and a loveseat, and a kitchen table and chairs. All my big, bulky furniture is gone, and everything is now more appropriately sized for my tiny apartment. I’m loving it! (We won’t talk about the boxes that had been stored under the old table that I now have to go through and see if there’s anything worth keeping.)
Scrapbooking - I did ten layouts. A few birthday pages, since I’m still catching up on for my boy. Almost there! Here’s one of the layouts I did in June:
Writing was plentiful in June, which was nice. I wrote 19k words for the month (lots of prompt fills, a huge amount which won’t be posted until this month) and posted 8 fics. I met all the challenges I signed up for. So writing-wise, it was a really good month for me. Here are my posted fics:
