Oh, August. That month which is most definitely still firmly set in summer with all the heat and humidty, and yet we find ourselves leaning forward and squinting just a bit as we think "I'm pretty sure I can see autumn from here".
August is another month of medical appointments. I have a follow-up visit for the endoscopy I had in July. I am scheduled for an MRI on my knee, and a follow up for that. I also think Max is due for a one of his semi-annual checkups at the end of the month. (I should probably double check that and get something scheduled)
My dad's birthday is this month. I know I've said it before - but every birthday we get to celebrate with him has extra meaning ever since we came close to losing him to a heart attack almost five years ago. Every birthday since then feels like a bonus.
August has always felt like a month for fresh new beginnings to me. Maybe that's because it's back to school season. All the new school supplies and clothes as well as a new school year with different classes and teachers. What better time for reset? Which just happens to be my word for August. (more on that in a future post)
My reading list for the month of August includes finishing "Normal Women" by Philippa Gregory, "The Thursday Murder Club" by Richard Osman, and "I Did a New Thing" by Tabitha Brown. I started "Normal Women" some time back, but was unable to finish it before it had to go back to the library. I happened to see that the Kindle version was on sale during Prime Days and snagged a copy. "The Thursday Murder Club" is the Book Club selection for August. And "I Did a New Thing" is from my endless TBR list.
My August Goals include:
- Clean out and reorganize linen closet
- Create a new morning routine
- Journal/Write everyday
