A New Journal Post~It's About Time~LOL!!!

Good Morning to you all!!! June is half way gone and I am really enjoying the warmer weather this year! I guess that's because it took so long to finally get here~LOL! It has been pretty hot around here the past few days; in the 90s, but I am NOT even going to complain as I would much rather have this that all of that freezing COLD!!! I think I saw enough snowflakes for a long while!!!
We had a nice weekend and my hubby heard from most of our kiddos yesterday for Father's Day. A couple of them had to work so they will probably call him sometime today. We didn't have a cookout this year as we had a large family cookout on the Friday before Memorial Day. My hubs was just not up to another one right now~lol! We might have another one for Independence Day~we'll see.
I was in the mood to post a little blog journal entry this morning, so here it is...
What's Happening: Today I have an appointment with my Therapist/Counselor. I go to see her once a month and the sessions are really helping me to come to terms with my Anxiety and Enochlophobia (fear of crowds). I have also started writing in a day book style journal every day and that is helping with my brain fog issues. 
We have also planted three tomato plants and have some beautiful Belle Pepper plants ready to go in the ground. 
What's For Supper:  I am seriously thinking about fixing Spaghetti right now. We have had sandwiches the last couple of nights. It has just been too hot too cook! 
What am I Reading or Watching: Reading You Can Too by Mary C. Crowley for the 100th time. That book just never seems to get old to me. I am also reading a couple of different Bible study books and my copies of Ideals Magazines, too. I have not been watching as many movies lately. I have been spending more time on my front porch enjoying the summer weather. 
Today's Weather:  It was already 76℉ when I woke up at 7:30 this morning and it is supposed to reach 94℉ by the late afternoon! Humidity is 40% 
Fibro and Arthritis Update: Today I am feeling a pretty low pain level; mostly just a bit achy. Here is the update:  Fibro Pain: Low to Moderate, Arthritis Pain: Low, Energy Level: Moderate, Brain Fog: Low to Moderate
Chores for Today: Kitchen Duty, Going through the house emptying out small trash cans. 
Phone Calls and Visits:  No calls yet today. 
Drives, Walks and Outings:  Errands and Appointment at Counselors
Pretty Picture for Today:
My pretty Annabelle Hydrangea at the back of our home. This is the fullest that it has ever been! I would love to have them growing all across the back as a hedge! 

Well, I guess that is about it for now. I might start putting my daily journal posts on here again just to stay active with this blog. I am working on consistency in my life. I am also getting more accustomed to having more time to devote to my own interests again now that I am no longer responsible for homeschooling our son. It was strange at first but now I am really enjoying my free time.
I hope that you all are having a beautiful Monday!!! I am going to take time to read some of your blogs and hope to write a bit more here tomorrow.

Stay Cozy, 
Charlotte
