I’ll just leave this right here.

Favorite Photos from July
I’ve spotted a common theme with all of these favorite photos from July…
It’s Jinx!
We actually just celebrated our one year anniversary with Miss Jinx in the family on August fourth. She has grown so much, and is the cuddliest kitty that we’ve ever had. She is demanding, and a bit of a stinker, but she is all ours.
July’s Crafts
July was a pretty rough month for me in the mental health department. I really didn’t craft too very much. I focused on finishing a few projects that have been hanging out way too long at the craft nook.
Netflix and knitting has become my favorite activity during the evening. Usually Jinx takes over the knitting basket, she is one demanding little kitty.
I finally finished two blankets.
I stitched together this little quilt a few summers ago. I had no idea how to finish it off though.
I decided to crochet around the edge, and it turned out really cute. This is a twin-sized quilt without any batting. It is just too darn hot for batting during Kansas summers.
I also finally finished Agnes’ multi-hued blanket that I started over a year ago.
This blanket is also twin sized, and it seriously took me forever to get finished.
I loved the colors of this blanket. There were so many shades of apricot, berry, and lilac. I am happy that it is complete, and on Agnes’ bed.
The Month Has Gotten Away From Me
I am running behind on posts right now. It seems like anytime I sit down at my desk to write, I’m immediately called away to do something else.I hope to have regular posts up soon.
Until then, here’s a photo of Jinx practicing her pouncing skills with Dylan.
July Nearly Broke Me
July (as most July’s seem to go) was a bad month for me all around. My seasonal affective disorder was at it’s highest for the year, and my depression was raging. My panic attacks made a return throughout the few hours of sleep that I could find at night. During the day my mind was a blank mess that only wanted to sleep. I wasn’t myself, and I wasn’t o.k., and I wasn’t sure that August would find me…
I hate months like that where there are more bad days than good, more bad days than o.k. ones, more wretched days than decent ones. It is a cycle that feels never-ending. It is frustrating, I’m taking all of the steps to try and have better days, but it isn’t working at all.
I’m still exhausted, but mentally I’m in a better way than I was a week ago. I hope and pray that August is kinder.
