Currently I’m…

July 6, 2016 By Rose

Thanks so much for visiting stopping by! I'd love for you to Sign up for FREE updates in your inbox or in your feed reader to keep up with all the latest things I'm sharing!

A few months ago I saw another blogger write a post like this and I thought it was a really fun idea!   I’m gonna share what’s going on with my life by telling you what I’m currently doing/feeling/thinking, etc.

So here goes.  Currently I’m…

Poldark

Watching:  Poldark , Food Network Star, Rizzoli & Isles (the last season 🙁 ) & The Last Ship.   If you enjoyed Downton Abbey, I really think you’d like Poldark as well – we were hooked after one episode.  Sign up for Amazon Prime and watch it free !

Complaining about:  The heat.  And neck pain.  I’ve had pain in my neck and shoulder for almost 3 weeks now.  This happened a few years ago and I ended up having to see a chiropractor to get the pain to go away.  I’m trying ibuprofen, heating pads and ice packs for now.   And a good pillow.  Hoping it’ll clear up on it’s own because I’m sick of it!

Reading:  4 Hour Work Week.  Yes, really.  I’ve been reading this book for weeks.  Well, let me clarify.  I read it for a few weeks, then quit reading it.  And I’m sort of aggravated about it.  I’m also reading God’s Story, Your Story in our Sunday school class and I’ve been reading a series of suspense novels by Lisa Gardner.

Harry Connick Jr Concert

Listening to: Lauren Daigle, Harry Connick (we saw him in concert a couple of weeks ago…eeek!!!), Adele… and whatever else my hubby plays in the car.  He’s the music guru in our family 🙂

Thinking:  That I hate summer time.  It’s been 90°F+ every day this week with heat indexes in the 100’s.  I can’t walk from my front door to my truck 10 feet away without sweating.  I can’t be outside more than 5 minutes without getting sunburned.  Why in the world do some people love summer?  I don’t understand.

Looking forward to:  Cooler weather.  Obviously 😉  Is anybody seeing a trend here yet?  I’m also looking forward to a mission trip later this summer.

Drinking:  Snapple, Diet Dr. Pepper and Sweet Tea.  Mostly ice cold Snapple Peach Tea and Mango Madness.  YUM!

Scenic Hwy 89 Utah

Daydreaming about:  A vacation.  In some place cooler.   Not sure we’re going to have one this year, but I’d love to be holed up in a cabin with a good book looking out to the mountains!  A year ago we were just getting home from our amazing vacation and gosh… yes, that’s where I’d like to be again!

Wanting:  To feel like I’m caught up once and a while.  With laundry, dishes, blogging.  I’ll take one or all!

Feeling: Depressed?  I’ve never been diagnosed with depression, so I don’t mean in the clinical sense, but I’ve just really been feeling down and unmotivated a lot lately.  We  had some big plans fall through recently, my blog has sort of hit a plateau, I turned 40 in May, and I feel like our summer is flying by without accomplishing much.  🙁

Confused about: How my house gets to be a mess in 5 minutes flat.  We clean, we wash dishes and laundry, we sweep. we vacuum.  And then I blink and the sink is full, the floor is covered in popcorn and we have no clean towels.

Patiently waiting for:  Wanna guess?  Fall.  hahaha.  No really – patiently waiting for… I’m not sure.  We almost always have something on the horizon – a trip to take, an event to attend… something.  But right now everything is sort of wide open.  I love not being stressed with deadlines and a thousand things to do, but without a purpose or something to be working toward, I just feel sort of blah.

And that’s that… what I’m currently doing/feeling/thinking.  How is your summer going?  I’d love to hear!

    Hey Rose! This was a really neat post. I’m a summer lover myself (yes even here in the hot humid south) so I feel the same way you do right now in the winter time. ? I really wanted to comment mainly because of your neck and shoulder pain. I had a horrible time with that about 5 years ago and ended up going to a different doctor who was an elderly man. He diagnosed me with bursitis and gave me a shot. I had gotten to the point where I couldn’t even turn my head. By the time I got to the parking lot at the dr office I could turn my head again. Anyway….i found out that heat actually aggravates bursitis. I’m not trying to diagnose because I am definitely not a dr…I’m just a cake lover ? But….it’s worth a shot to lay off the heat and see if it helps. I use cold rice packs now. Some wonderful essential oils help when I feel it coming on now as well. Hope you feel better soon!
