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.
