Hello Dreamwidth friends ~

I'm not sure what to write about this week besides my review I will do tomorrow or Friday. But I felt like an update would be a good idea since I like to write about things other than those. At times they feel tiring.

This week has been going well overall. I took off a few days to take care of things around my house and yard. Also to see family and help my family. My mom is back from the hospital, she is doing better each day. In my yard I got some plants transplanted, pulled some weeds, got some things moved around in my garage, put my windchimes and little yard decorations out.
I got some of my plants transplanted to larger pots and rearranged some of them since I think they weren't getting the proper light. Also I went through a few more books and flower pots to sale during my garage sale.
I've drawn a bit more for my next chapter of Promised Memories, wrote the next chapter and did a New room of scrutiny page.
With sewing my old pants I repaired one pair. I plan on doing the other two soon, maybe I'll sewn a bit more tonight. It's soothing to sew again after so long.
I've been still reading away, I think that is my favorite pastime anymore. Two books currently, it's good to switch back and fourth if I'm not in the mood for one I can turn to the other.
This morning I worked on sorting stamps for one of two trades I needed to get back to. And it was also something soothing, too. I'd like to get back into working on stamps again.
Also I've been back into playing Paleo Pines, the dinosaur farming game! It's a nice, slow pace. And the graphics are beautiful and calming. It makes my heart happy.

I think that's about it for an update. But I've been doing good. And overall feeling well. May is mental health month, so with that in mind I have been trying to slow down and do things that keep me feeling good.

As always, I'm glad you've been doing well and taking care of yourself, Jess! It's the simpler things in life that can anchor us back to who we are sometimes and help us redidcover those things.

Also, I'm glad to hear you've been getting back into reading! Since I've been reading a lot lately myself, I guess that makes us literary buddies then. Yay!

Glad to read your mom is back home and recovering well.

Do you do a lot of sewing? or more like small fixes?

Glad you're week is going well and mom is doing well!

I do the two book thing too - usually a fiction and a nonfiction haha. Somehow though it's gotten up to like five right now!
