August to do list

The summer might be winding down but that doesn’t mean our to do list is short! We’ve got a lot planned and not enough time to do it all in. I’ve got a few more weeks to enjoy August so I’m going to do my best to get stuff done!

Eevee event
A new Pokémon GO community day is coming up on August 11th-12th. Unlike previous community days, this one is the whole weekend! It’s going to be busy for us but I’m sure we’ll manage.

Book Festival
Another reason we’ll be busy this coming weekend, is because it seems like there’s going to be a Book Festival from August 9th-12th. We’re going to try and make it out on Sunday but if the day is too packed we might just skip it. I’d love to go because there seems to be a lot more than just books to browse through.

Amsterdam day trip
We’re going to have to head back into Amsterdam to pick up a few books. I know the next volume of Snotgirl will be available soon so I that’s one of the titles I need to grab. Otherwise, Sander and I will be visiting our favorite ramen place and paying a visit to the Asian shopping district. The groceries stores there have a little of every Asian culture so it’s always a wild ride.

Artis
Another thing I’m not sure we’ll be able to do is to return to Artis. Sharon from Ronna’s Eternal Journey recently made the time to go. Her post was delightful and brought back memories of our trip. Sander also often suggests we visit so I’m sure we’ll make it there eventually.

Travel journal
I know it’s hard to believe but this was on my to do list months ago. I’ve finally been able to gather all the supplies I need. Now is the time to sit down and put the whole thing together!

Catch up with reading
I know I actively promote reading quite often here but recently I’ve had too much Dutch homework. By the time I’m done for the day, I’m too drained to open another book. I don’t want to listen to audiobooks in bed because I know I’ll fall asleep while listening to them. I’m going to try and squeeze in some time to finish at least one book.
