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.
