Added 06-21-18: Week 25

I moved my weekly tracker to the center, opting for some semblance of balance/symmetry but am now lamenting a bottom canvas like in week 24, yet... at the same time, eternally grateful there is no space at the bottom like in week 24. You get me, right?

Added 06-14-18: Mood Tracker, so far...

Added 06-10-18: Week 24

I love this spread! My doodles came out so great. I will be moving the tracker box again since the 16th is getting shortchanged of space. Man, figuring out space considerations can be rough.

Added 06-07-18: A Conversation With Mom

I was able to spend most of my day with my mom today, although most if it was spent with me working on my bujo while she was laying in her bedroom watching Game 5 between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the Washington Capitals. As I was leaving, I asked"

What's the score?
Mom: (quietly) 3rd quarter, 3-2, Knights winning
Why are you whispering?
Mom: I don’t want to jinx it, Ohma
Them: I’m going to turn it on & yell at the screen & jinx it. 
DAMMIT BRIAN!!

Added 06-01-18: Week 23

Pinterest doodle collections have got to be one of the greatest things ever! I LOVE all of these.

For my weekly trackers, I've switched them with my monthly trackers. Instead of writing WSM or RWeb (client and web/social media) out practically every day, I put it in a small box. This first week, it is in the left bottom corner which made my elaborate day of the week names kind of mush together, so I'll be fixing that next week. 

June 2018: Monthly - National Oceans Month

When I was a bambina, (around 8 or 9), our family went camping on Bibione Beach in Italy. I still have vivid snippets of memories of that week. Showers in the communal spaces under the shade of green, leafy trees. Barbecued dinners and laughing with the family and my mom and dads friends around a picnic table that gave someone a splinter every day of our stay. Running through the camp area playing hide and seek with Italian kids we couldn't even communicate with. Pedaling through town with my mom in a bicycle cart built for two for shopping and gelato. My little sister and I trying to control the pedal boat we were driving that was tossed to and fro by the gentle waves crashing onto the beach. The sun, the smells; Ahhhh, the memories... 

​My favorite memory was of the day that the sky was overcast, sprinkles rained down intermittently, the wind crashed the waves onto the shore, and the beach was empty, except for me. I reveled in that afternoon for hours, alone, walking the expanse of the desolate shore, wandering in and out of the water, I love the beach and the ocean because of that day. 

My doodle challenge for June is also Ocean-themed. Click here if you want to see them.
