September started with more decluttering. It’s started to cool down here. So I started tackling my garage, at first I thought it was going to be a huge task that would take a while. But turns out it’s not as bad as I thought it’d be. Most of the stuff in there will be donated, so it’s mainly going through boxes and sorting things out. As I’m writing this, I’m about halfway through it.

August got off to a rough start for me. I’m a seasonal employee at an election board and the primary election was on August 4th. Everyone works from 5 am to 7 pm on elections days. I ended up working until midnight and spent the week tired and out of it. Luckily, I only had one week left on the job before I got a break. If I end up working there for the November election, I won’t stay late. It wasn’t worth it. My mindset was that I could make some extra money to put towards school, but after taxes, there’s wasn’t much leftover. Other than that hiccup in the being of the month, August wasn’t too bad.

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.

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.
