Wow, I noticed it's been exactly a month since I last posted, oops. (I have been busy on Twitter though, so if you're looking for me that's where you can find me every day;)
Here's a quick update on life before I spam y'all with artposts next week (I hope;).
I'm still doing 30 Days Work-Out Challenges, for June our LJ/Twitter group is doing the Summertime Sweat Work-Out (which we renamed #somertimesweat in honour of our fearless leader![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
somersault_j *grins*) Today was Day 20/30. For July I'm hoping to find a crushing ABS thing with floor exercises, as I'd like a change from the standing and jumping;)
Work is still fun, I have an evaluation talk tomorrow, dundundunnnn. I had to fill in a form grading myself and we'll compare it with the manager's input... Hopefully I'll also get more clarity on the duration of the project. I already have a guaranteed job until December 31st (if I don't screw things up, obviously) but there has been talk of an extension for five years for the whole department. Fingers crossed!
Mom and I visited Gran on Friday (my dad's mother, the only grandparent I have left) - she is now aware of her dementia, although she thinks that applies to being forgetful, not her experience of getting visits from my dead grandfather (who according to her is sneaking out of heaven to see her, which God would not be happy about if he knew...) or imagining her sons living as young boys in her attic (which she doesn't have, as she assured me she knows: "I don't have an upstairs, but they are there."). I find this all pretty hard to respond to, bless my mom for knowing how to talk to her. My gran does appreciate our visits though.
Afterwards mom and I went to Ikea to decompress. We strolled for three hours (!!) and had a lovely meal of Swedish meatballs:). I was looking for a sidetable, but didn't find one I like. I did buy a very cool plate, two mugs and coasters:
( I just like eyeballs, okay )
:-)
Last but not least: in three weeks I'm gonna meet up withamberdreams in Amsterdam! We'll also have lunch with big_heart_june (who I also haven't met before!) and sillie82 (who reminded me in July it will be TEN years since we got together for our first CSI-marathon) - exciting!
Until then I havetwo three artprojects to finish: a second set for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_meanttobe this weekend, a pinchhit for spn_j2_bigbang next week and then I want to do the Matchmaker Challenge for the quicky_bang. (Sign ups are from July 1st - 31st, here's a post with more information!!)
Speaking of quickies, I made a Sam&Castiel piece that could do with a bit of love: The Ice Age (it goes with an intense short story that I heartily recommend:)
