July.

♔ JULY PLEASE BE GOOD | Hello july, Welcome july, July quotes
The year is officially half over and what a year it has been - definitely one for the record books. The past few months has exposed A LOT...from the total bias of mass media, hypocritical actions by our politicians (from the local level all the way to the top), and even just regular folks. People I know that I've always considered intelligent and sensible have appeared to lose their minds over this whole thing, which to me is a more highly contagious flu. They tout "science and data" like it's gold and honestly, I've done the research and the so-called experts can't even make up their minds and keep flip-flopping, which only furthers the political and other conspiracy theories. It's just a really crazy time...time future generations will read about in the history books.

As for me, I completed the 6-month probationary period for my new position with more than half of it spent working mostly from home. I was able to transfer my certification exam from May to November thanks to the virus. In the next week, I hope to finish my seasonal chores, finish the guest room and finally hang my favorite pieces...so that I can start studying (after I mail off my taxes). That will allow be a solid 4 months of preparation and studying for my exam. *Crossing fingers*


Goals for July 2020



Beauty
- Do a mask 2-3 times a week (alternating between BC charcoal, R+F and other clay masks)
- Use zit zapper, zit sucker, exfoliating tools 2-3 times a week
- Use creams and serums more consistently
- Get a spray tan (I think since salons are open, this is possible and probably good to do it sooner rather than later)

Home
- Finish the guest room (clean out/organize/hang art/figure out storage, etc.)
- Finish the office (hang art/figure out closet storage/etc.)
- Finish cleaning the windows
- Move mirrors (diamond mirror moves to above the bar and large square mirror will move to the dining room)
- Purge! Donate! Get rid of a lot of stuff!
- Clean the dining room from top to bottom including chandelier, floors and windows
- Clean and rearrange the living room from top to bottom, including floors and windows
- Hang string lights on back patio
- Hang mini string lights in master bedroom ("mood lighting") ;-)

Fitness/Health
Gyms remain closed so Home WODs continue
- Walk (30 min./2 mi. minimum daily)
- Home WODs at least 5 days a week (alternating between body weight and weight training)
- Consistently take my B12 vitamins 
- Consistently get at least 7 hours of sleep each night (I need to be in bed by 11pm at the latest, more regularly)
- Start weaning myself off the bad habits (soda consumption, ordering so much take out/delivery, etc.) and restarting good habits (meal prepping on Sunday, increasing water and non-soda intake, etc.)

Other
- Sister's birthday
- Nephew turns 6
- Do and mail my taxes! (High importance*)
- Finalize refinancing my mortgage (hopefully losing my PMI!)
- Start going back into the office all day, beginning 7/22
