Monthly update: June

Okay, I was busy all month, yet didn't get a lot accomplished. This is mainly because one of the things I was busy with is prep work, and that's unfortunately time consuming.

Weigh in: 192
Yup, still on a plateau. This despite biking to work whenever I could. I imagine this means I need to actually start using the weight bench sitting in the living room.

Book: Pages written: 1/4
When did I inherit the pet writer's block? And what happens if I send it home? I have sections that I want to write planned out in my head, but I'm not to where they would happen in my book just yet. Considering writing them out anyway, so I have them later, but I'm not certain that I want to have fragments of stories going.
Pages typed: 5
The stack of papers on my desk is slowly getting smaller. Then again, the reason I'm going at this slowly might be because once I'm done with this section, I'm back to full writing, and there's that writer's block I'm dealing with.

Ponies: --Made the decision to sell the Chibi and generation 3 lines. I don't like where these lines have gone lately, style-wise, and I don't necessarily have the space for them. I have also decided to store my Generation 1 ponies for the interim, as having even the few I have out on display takes up space I don't really have while rooming with my parents. This has meant getting them out of storage, photographing them for my records, making a file of their conditions, and either storing them properly or selling them online. There's a pony meet coming up the first week if August, so I hope to bring my extras and G3s there to sell, and so I've been getting ready for that. I'm also considering holding a raffle, in order to raise some funds while getting these cleaned up, but that entails cleaning them up anyway.
--Custom-wise, I spent most of the month prepping the baits I have. Not only is this time consuming, but it's rather boring. And painful. I managed to cut the top of my index finger while cutting the magnet out of a G3's hoof, and I've bruised my thumb using my hemostat to pull hair out of the heads, along with bruising my palm while using a jeweler's type flat-head screwdriver to pry said magnets and their caps out of the hoofs. Dad let me borrow his wood carver's glove, which helps, since it's Kevlar, and therefore is supposed to not cut. Which does not mean I want to test the theory, but at least I theoretically don't have to worry about that now.

Bead work: I spent most of the month sorting beads from the bags I put them in after I finished the designated projects. This was something I had been putting off for well over a year, so it's about time. I also started making a necklace, but that was stymied by the above pony projects.

Music study, Language study, Cross stitch: No change.
