1. _________ is a book that I would reread again.
2. My _________ is in need of _________.
3. I've been working on _________ for _________.
4. I finally figured out _________.
My answers are below in bold, alongside much needless rambling, as always.
1. The Hobbit is a book that I would reread again.
(I really struggled with what to put for this one. Not because I couldn't think of an answer, but because I came up with too many options. But, I landed on The Hobbit. My dad read this to my sister and myself as a bedtime story when we were very young, and then I read it myself when I was a preteen. Given that it's one of my favorite books of all time, and that Tolkien is the king of my favorite genre, I'm horrified to admit that I haven't read The Hobbit since I was a kid. I really do want to reread it soon.)

2. My car is in need of a lot of help.
(My car is 15 years old. I plan on driving this thing until it's got nothing left to give. I do take it in roughly twice a year for oil changes, and for lots of unexpected repairs that have been needed over the years. This past week my car decided it didn't want to start and ended up just needing a small repair to fix the issue. The shop I take it to always does an inspection and will text you their findings, and my poor old car always gets random things marked as "suggested" or "recommended future" repairs. More of these were of course mentioned for my poor old car this week. Most of them are not crucial, but anything significant will get sorted out soon enough. For now, though, my car is driving great again.)
3. I've been working on my current writing project for over a year.
(I came up with this story idea last April. I actually wrote the first page with the intention of entering it into a short story contest, but then I realized I'd love to write it as a full novel. I didn't write much in the story for quite a few months last year, but as of this year, I'm working on it regularly and making pretty good headway. It's the weird and wacky fantasy story for which I created illustrations for this year's April A to Z Challenge, and the main human in the tale has a hind limb paralyzed orange kitty like my Evan.)
4. I finally figured out what to scribble up for Toby and Winky's spooky summertime drawing.
(I created new kooky doodles for pup Astrid and my four kitties, and we've even shared them already. But our housemates Toby and Winky, who own my sister, haven't gotten a new spooky summertime doodle yet. I couldn't decide what to do for them, so I asked my sister, and she shot out a unique little idea. I've already outlined it, and it's an odd one, but I'll share it soon enough.)

Next week, Friday falls on July 25th. Eddy has already had herself a bit of a Christmas in July photo shoot for the occasion. Next Friday is also the official day of bloopers for this month, and so of course Eddy will include at least one good and blurry offering in her festive post. For today, though, how about a festive spoiler with Eddy resting in her favorite chair beside her year round Christmas tree?
These photos are also a tad bit blurry, but such is life with Eddy. At least she's still downright adorable.
Eddy hopes you're all enjoying some sort of festive fun this July!

I intend on creating a new Christmas in July doodle for next week, but since we mentioned the occasion above, how about this festive flashback doodle for today?

Tip of the Day
Today's pet parenting tip is one that relates to that dreaded vet's office. As you all certainly know, it is recommended that your furbaby be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year. But, if you're anything like me, all throughout the year you find yourself questioning this or that about your furbaby. Of course, if you notice any abnormalities that are a concern or that are in need of immediate attention, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian. Otherwise, sometimes we find ourselves with questions that we know are not emergencies and that are not truly in need of immediate attention, but that do pique our interest. That's why today's tip is to, if needed, keep a little notebook or note sheet handy, such as on a counter or on the refrigerator, where you can write down questions to ask your veterinarian at your furbaby's next exam. Whether it be a general question about food, exercise, grooming, behavior, or anything else, write it down when you think of it. That way, you can take your notes with you to your furbaby's next exam and sort out any questions you have in one fell swoop.

Best of luck on your book writing. I'm interested in seeing what it is. I'm sure your drawings are especially adorable just like this Christmas in July flashback sketch. Thanks for hosting and sharing!
