Back from my Staycation

While a vacation would have done wonders for my attitude, a staycation was a close second. I took most of last week off, except for some social media work I had to do. My vacation mostly consisted of staying on the other side of the room from the computer, reading a good book for hours on end. It was a lovely time.

I also ventured out of my little world to go do the normal July Fourth things: festivals, food, fireworks. Your basic American holiday staples.


July 4th Fireworks

My birthday was over the weekend too. Very quiet, no fuss--I'm beginning to like it that way. It also got me thinking of photography more (don't ask me how I made that leap) so if you see on my Instagram account a lot of pictures tagged with #almost30, you'll know why. 

The birthday cupcake.
I slacked significantly on the Camp Nanowrimo stuff, but I'm getting back on track today. The goal of 25,000 words should not be hard to meet, as long as I don't skip out on any more days the rest of the month. Then, all I need to do if find an editor and get the ball rolling towards a book release. I'm excited, but there's still quite a lot to do. Organization will be my best friend these next couple of months.

Work? Eh... still a sore subject. I've picked up a few articles, but everyone else needs to get out of their Monday slump before I can really get back on track with that one.

Happy Fourth of July!

For all my American readers out there: Happy 4th of July! I don't really get into the holiday, but I know that everyone loves the fact that they get a long weekend. Personally, I can't stand grilled food, I'm not a big fan of the heat, fireworks (at least those done in front of the house) annoy me, and I'm about the only one that does NOT get off work. But still, if I had the offer to cook out, watch fireworks, and spend the day outside, I probably would.

Let's not make this post a downer though. The 4th of July also means that it's only 3 more days until I turn... 26. I like to play the game "Let's see if anyone remembers my birthday... WITHOUT Facebook reminding them." It was two people last year (as you can tell birthday's aren't really that important to me... they're depressing, even at this age).

Jeez... that's still kind of a downer, isn't it? Well, I'm happy that I'm getting extra work this weekend! There, something positive. Happy 4th!
