Wow, where did the summer go? I can’t believe it’s already August and people are starting to head back to school. July wasn’t the best, but it was an eye-opening month. And I figured out what steps I need to take to put myself on the path to living a happier life. I also worked more on cosplays. So here’s my wrap-up of July and what I have planned for August.

Well, June was a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs. I went into the month excited because it was my birthday month and I had big plans for the special day. But that all came crashing down because of work. In last month’s recap, I talked about how I was going to work as a temp employee. The plan was that I’d work there for eight days then have a few weeks before returning back. But since I’m a “good” employee, they kept me on longer. So all the plans and goals I’d made for June went out the window. 

May flew by for me, so I didn’t get a chance to tackle any of my goals last month. My state started opening back up and the temp job I was working at for the stay at home order asked me to return to work for a few days. So then I rushed to get ready for that and to make sure everything was in order. Even though I didn’t tackle my goals for the month I did check out a state park and made a new cosplay.

The Encouraging blogger was created to recognize bloggers who encourage others with their posts. They may encourage others to try new things, have a positive mindset, overcome adversity, or travel. For example, an encouraging blogger may share helpful tips or encourage others to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Many blogs are encouraging without realizing it. With this award bloggers nominate fellow bloggers, the nominees write a post answering a few questions and nominate other bloggers.

During April, I was able to get a lot done.  Like many people, I stayed home and only left my home for essentials. I took the time to get caught up on things, organize, and declutter. Once I was done with that, I went digging through my craft supplies and made a few things using what I had. With the supplies I had, I made three wall hangs, and a bunch of felt keychains. I also worked on improving my art skills and played around with new art mediums. So here’s a close look at my April, the things I created, what I accomplished, and my goals for May.
