October! It was so cold in North Idaho, all I could think of was getting out of the cold. Reading didn’t happen. I’m living in my van, which isn’t insulated yet. It was so cold I couldn’t even focus on learning to use the propane heater I bought, and I couldn’t leave town because I was waiting for a business deal to go through. It took much longer than expected. Finally got out of there on October 11. Forgot to tell my daughter I was leaving town, because I just wanted to wake up in a place that wasn’t below freezing.

I started this page at the beginning of the month of September, but didn’t publish it until the last day of the month. That’s how my month went. It was busy and distracting. The main distraction was that I was moving, and this involved a lot of work.

I joined a health club so I’ll have a place for exercise and showers while I’m traveling. I’m getting used to the exercise and having fun visiting members of my church. And I’m reading. This posting is all about my August reading plans, realities and hopes.

Book Lady’s June 2019 Reading Report
Summer starts in June! Meanwhile, I read. A lot of what I’ll be reading this month was planned for last month, but I fell behind. There are new book choices planned as well. Only time will tell how far I’ll get through this stack of books this month. There’s a reading diary at the end of the page. I’ll be updating it with notes about my life, videos, art, and reading progress.

This will be an exciting month for me as I’ll be getting my new van and I’m sure that could distract me from my reading. However, the hope is that I’ll read inside the van.

When Things Don’t Go Right
Life isn’t predictable, and often things don’t go right, and don’t work out according to our plans. There are many reasons for people to be frustrated and distressed. When a loved one is hurting, I want to reach out and take away the pain, but I’m not that powerful, so I give it all to God.
