Challenge #1
Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
So it’s the first challenge of the sunshine revival so I’m gonna try and do it (and I hope it goes well!)
But damn it’s July already? That’s crazy honestly.
So what’re my goals/plans for this month? Well here’s some things I wanna do.
*Look into sorting out Uni
*Continue watching Hell Motel (there’s 5 more eps this month)
*Finish Dredge’s main story
*Finish reading Cards On The Table and hopefully started Crooked House (and maybe read something else)
*Cinema: Jurassic World Rebirth, Fantastic Four First Steps
*Finish Stranger Things season 4
*Finish reading the Acolyte visual guide
*Finish a fic (unsure which one, I have so many WIPs and keep adding more)
*Get back to the American Horror Story Asylum run
*Watch the rest of the new Phineas And Ferb eps
*Maybe start Ironheart and/or Wednesday
I feel I am missing something really obvious (though I always do feel that way)
There’s no real plans for the rest of the year really. There’s a James Marriott gig in November and Pokémon ZA in October but I think that’s all that’s definite.
As for creative vibes I’ve been too drained from this heatwave to do anything creative (though I did make two Clown In A Cornfield icons the other day, one I’ve used for this post. It’s too bad I’ve not found a good pic of the big damnn kiss from it though).
I did have to head out to get car food (it thankfully cooled down enough to venture outside) and I popped in the charity shop and got these.

I saw the Egyptian picture when we went past it the other week (it was closed at the time) and I had meant to go back but couldn’t due to the heat. Then I went inside and saw there was a Sophie Hannah Poirot book I’d not read (and an Agatha Raisin book). The whole lot was £2 which feels like a crazy bargain, especially since one of the books was a hardcover.
I end with this pic of my kitty Midna who is as very much done with this heat as I am.

Date: 2025-07-02 10:55 am (UTC)She’s lying on a windowsill so I dunno how cool it is (she has been curled up in the basket in the kitchen too when it’s there). Awww no! Cats are such strange lil things

Date: 2025-07-02 12:27 am (UTC)I've had enough now of constantly feeling lethargic in this heatwave.
Clown in a Cornfield has been on my to-read list for ages, might see if I can start it soon.
no subject
Date: 2025-07-02 10:53 am (UTC)Same here. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could at least think or watch stuff or whatever but noooo
Oh nice! I’ve been meaning to get at least the first book since I saw it so hopefully I can this month

Poor Midna! Heat is bad enough when you can remove your clothes, I don't even want to think of how it feels when you're covered in fur.

Date: 2025-07-04 10:33 pm (UTC)Yeah I’m so pleased with it! It was all such a bargain! I really didn’t expect that pic to be so cheap
Yeah poor girl. I wonder if it’s worse for Leia since she’s all fur😭 but at least it’s cooler now and Midna’s coming for cuddles gain
