first day of the summer break: two whole months with no commitments other than a luncheon today in ybor, a 3-day tech class next week, and a seated certification exam all day (2 exams,actually) on July 26! i slept in a whole hour this morning.
things to do this summer (in no particular order because probably all at once):
clean--this house, the studio, the car, everything!
oupgrrganize--ditto.  throw out stuff.  lotsa stuff, so i casn reveal other, long buried stuff and throw that out, too.  i want the studio room bare but for the the flors, thechandelier and theshelving…
refurbish--slipcovers, stick tiles down, finish the kitchen from a decade back…
art--painting and more 3d
knit--entirely from stash, i have so many wips, i can go for a year, i think!
play piano--this idea came on me again the other day.  haven’t touched it in years and there it sits.
read--i am determined to regain enough concentration to again read books. with my eyes. i can’t stand not being a voracious reader anymore, andit’sgoneon now for years!
study for exams--of course.  all i have to do is pass theprofessional practices and the rt exam and i’m in. it will all bedone before we go bck, unless i blow it. i have the study guides.
get on track with food again- again again.  starting recordning on the usda tracker again.  found a csa providing farm right here, but it doesn’t opeate in summer, of course.still, i think there’s a farmer’s market there on sundays, at least i hope that’s still there in summer.  that could get me broken in.
exercise--i’ve been paying for the place since last august when i joined and never went once all school year. things got too odd too soon.  i need to go back right now and decide this summer if i plan to use it, or quit it in august when the renewal is up.  i NEED to use it!

i continue in my quest to establish some sort of very simple discipline that i can just do. minimal purchasing, minimal eating, minimal upkeep, etc. so that, once again,come august and school i can just effortlessly flow. effortlessly. flow. right.

today: the luncheon for the school. I took this last morning off as a personal day, since i didn’t have anything to do there and didn’t need to drive all the way there just to drive back to tampa for the luncheon.  unclear whether i will be made to eat or not, since i seem to have missed the payment deadline; perhaps i can just go and not eat? anyway, that’s at 11:30, and then we’re all done.  I was thinking i could maybe catch the exercise...?

i am wondering whether bake and i are suffering from a similar malady:  we have come through, all is well, we just don’t believe it yet.
