July Goals

June was a wet, chilly disappointing month.

-Have fun at Comic Con Check!

-Do well at Pride Sold 9:)

 -Do well at Summer On Main 250th USA Celebration Canceled due to rain

Health:  My leg wound is completely healed, but I continue to shower with the plastic sleeve, and my accommodation at work has been extended through Aug 26th.

I also fell June 20th (tripped over a flat cart at work) and bruised my knees and right hand.  Beginning to think I should have my hand X-rayed, as it still hurts when I pick up something heavy with that hand.
