July Recap

Hello and welcome or welcome back to another stormy night in the shire! Today we’re taking another look into what I was up to last month! What shows I watched (or rewatched), what activities I did, and anything knew I might have learned? Did I learn any life saving skills? No, but I did learn that Penpals still exist and boy was that the most exciting thing for me! Okay, let’s get into today’s post. 

As mentioned above I learned that penpal’s are still alive and thriving! I stumbled across a few groups on facebook and even sent out some of my first letters! I have to check my mail to see if I got some back, I think I did because apparently my mom gets texts about mail from our PO box? Did you know that was a thing? I didn’t. Yeah, so I’m super stoked about that and I can’t wait to keep writing and reading! 

This month was also spent working on plans for Stormy Ville’s sixth birthday. In which I am beyond happy to celebrate. Last year I wasn’t in a great headspace and this year I’m still a little unsteady but I’m in a better spot and more myself. More locked in as they say. 

A fun thing that I’ve also realized about myself is that I tend to have this habit of ending and beginning a month with a really clean room and though it exhausts me, I usually find myself going through a cleaning spell at the last two days of the month. A way to sort of reset so to speak. Begin my month anew. I think that’s important. It’s also weird that those times are especially prominent when a full moon is around. I’m a moon girly to the core but I’ve just been noticing little things here and there about myself. It’s weird… but cool. 

I sadly only read four chapters of my book this month when my goal was ten, but I had a lot of flare days with the weather and I also struggled a lot if I’m being honest to keep up with any creativity at all. Especially with the new infusion schedule, trying to adjust to that as well. However I’m happy to report that weekly infusions while I am dealing with a lot of the adjustment period symptoms like bloating, aching, ect. They are helping a ton already. I can already see a difference in my life which is exciting and scary. Especially since it’s only been a month. But it’s also very important because, now we know it is helping… and there is some light at the end of the tunnel? 

Anyway, onto the shows! What did I watch this month?

Regular Show The Lost Tapes – I watched this after watching a few of Cowlos’ videos on it on youtube, I foud his youtube channel I think this year? Maybe later in the year last year. Actually I found him because of Regular Show, he made a bunch of content on it and I fell down the rabbit hole. I had binged Regular Show a few years back but I wasn’t a super big fan, like I liked it but I wasn’t a mega fan or anything and when I found the videos on it I was like hell yeah I’ll watch someone talk about it. 

Am I being unreasonable? (2 Seasons) – This show was wild. I highly suggest you go watch it yourself. It was a Hulu original and I think it’s due for another season, and it’s a dark comedy and omg! Chef’s Kiss, I loved it. It was fucked up but I needed that in my life at the moment. 

King of the Hill (Season 15) – Honestly the newer seasons of King of the Hill I have so many mixed feelings on but I actually enjoy them. They’re so off the wall insane but still have that charm from back in the day? I don’t know. This season had me cracking up so bad!

I am not afraid (Limited) – This one made me cry and made my blood boil. I don’t think this should have been a limited series, at least not one with only six episodes; they could have flushed this one out to a ten episode one and given more context. Just saying. 

Lastly but not at all least: Bob’s Burgers the unknown number rewatch I started it on July fourth and by yesterday evening I was on season eight episode fourteen. 

So, with all that being said, my July was all over the place. I even went to the laundromat, and bought myself some orange chicken in which I forgot to ask for a fork so I could eat it while my laundry was being washed. I tried a dirty dr pepper which had nothing on the dirty pepsi from dunkin. I posted my first reel earlier in the month and overall my end of month rituals are falling into place. I love that. Tell me what your favorite end of month ritual is? Or don’t, that’s up to you. 

But I hope you have a lovely day or night whenever you’re reading this, don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe so I know you like my content. And share it with anyone you think might enjoy it! We are still trying to reach our fifty sub goal by the end of the year. Don’t forget to stick around for the six year special! I hope to see you all there!

As always, stay safe, love hard, and protect your peace ❤
