July 2017 Bujo

As we start August I come to the end of the first journal I ever finished....and I have been trying off and on since I was a teen.
Here I am trying my weeklies as a month view.  I have many appointments that happen every week and I don't want to keep rewriting the same thing over and over.  That defeats the productivity of the whole bullet journal system in my opinion, plus I want to draw and doodle other things.  This months doodles are inspiration from #365doodleswithjohannafritz.

Then I sort of ran out of space for my running type list and I don't like where the check boxes are, they became confusing.  So I gave this up in search of a dutch door solution.



It moves in 2 places and the dates are just a thin strip which I taped down with a tiny piece of blue glitter washi.  Underneath I have running lists for the various projects and businesses I am part of and need to track.
The flowers and leaves are some things my mom cut out for me using her cricut I expect.  I am going to use some of them in the future for stencils.....

In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
