things i’m loving ✩ 23 | july 2021

July 31, 2021

July seems like it passed by in a total blur if I’m to be honest. Like, I feel like I haven’t been homes in days—that sort of blur. My temp job ended this week (sort of) and I just feel a lot lighter. I did agree to stay on for two more week at a part-time schedule to help train others in what I do there because we had some abrupt department changes, but I feel good about this decision. Full-time work just doesn’t work for me and that’s okay.

Anyway, despite feeling like I had absolutely no time for myself, I still found a few gems and moments of job is all the busyness. I managed to read THREE books this month after all. So here are a few things I found myself enjoying this month:

WATCHING

The Mysterious Benedict Society on Disney+!!! I’m so utterly excited about this show. It’s based on one of my favorite YA/Middle Grade book series by Trenton Lee Stewart. I didn’t even know Disney was doing a show out of it, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw it as a new release on Disney+. Of course, I watched it right away! Only four episodes have been released so far and the show is so good! It definitely has A Series of Unfortunate Events vibe to it—which I don’t remember the books ever having—but I can see why they would take that approach. But either way, it’ becoming a new favorite.

CREATING

in my Summer Stories journal and participating in Junk Journal July. So I decided to try out the Junk Journal July challenge in this journal because I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had any time to make any sort of memories this summer to document in here. I figured these prompts would get me going in at least making a few art journal style pages…and you know, to document the little things. So far, I’ve been having fun with it. I haven’t done all of the prompts yet, but that’s okay. I’ll definitely take them into August to help jumpstart my journaling.

READING

Signs Point to Yes by Sally Hall. Not the best book I read this summer—not by a long shot—but the better book out of the last two books I read. I gave this one 3 1/2 stars. It was cute. I also got through it really fast too. I’m just not a fan of Sally Hall’s books. While this one was better than the first one I read of hers, it still left a bit to be desired. It was simple and cute. The parent dynamics were frustrating and weird, but compared to the other two books I read this month, this one was good.

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx
