Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

July 2022 Recap

August 14, 2022

Note – Better late than never to post this – I wrote it early in the last week of July.

It’s been a busy month and next month looks to be the same. Here’s what’s happening.

Dental Work – Been finishing up the major work this summer. I have one more filling, a crown (not sure if a root canal goes with that) but I’m waiting until early next year to do that one, and a consult with a denture specialist for a partial to fill in the gaps I now have. All of this started last year, but if I’d started 10 years ago, I wouldn’t be doing this now. Better late than never, but it’s easier when the problems first start. Make a note people.

Beauty Products – Still finishing up what I had bought but I am also thinking about just ditching it all and starting over and giving my skin a rest. I’ll keep you posted.

Depression – Hello darkness my old friend. I realized this a few weeks ago when I noticed that I’d been crying daily for two weeks. I bought a book by K.C. Davis called “How To Keep House While Drowning” and it’s helping me to do what I can do and not worry about what I can’t which really helps take that stress off at least so I can take care of me and get back to functioning.

Hot Hot Hot – That was the weather. For the last two weeks of the month we were held hostage by over 100 degree temps some getting as high as 110. I don’t know what people in Phoenix do but I’m sure they’re more used to it than we are and live their lives. I don’t. I stayed inside and watched reruns of Supermarket Sweep and The Price is Right. We also covered up as many windows as possible to keep the sunlight out and lower energy costs. It was like living in a cave and I’m sure that didn’t help my depression any, but it worked.

Decluttering – So because of the heat I decided to stop laying around like a lump and get some stuff done. The first thing I did was go into the room off the master and dejunk it. I think it only took a week of going in there every day for 30 minutes max and now I can see where everything is and walk around in there without tripping over a lot of stuff. The main thing I did was move all the homeschool books to the downstairs bookshelves so I can start going through them and giving away to the appropriate places. I would love to have a garage sale and make some extra money, but I really don’t see that happening. I just want to get these books into the hands of people who need them for their homeschools and lighten up my load.

And that was July. I’m going to update my beauty situation and probably should do a reading update too one of these days as well. In the meantime stay cool and enjoy the last days of summer. Fall will be here before we know it. At least that’s the hope.
