You guys! It’s officially fall! Okay, okay, I know it has been for over a week now but I’m celebrating it now. I woke up with a craving for pumpkin muffins this morning, so that’s going to hopefully happen this week.
I got to go to Bend in September to meet my newest nephew. (have I told you guys this already?) I made it a point to get to see all of my nieces and nephews that are in town this trip. Family was the priority this go-round.
I have done pretty well on my goals this past month, well…On the ones that I knew I’d do. If that makes sense. Anyway, let’s just hop to it, shall we?

Recap of Monthly Goals:
Integrate new scene into ‘Amelia’ – I’ve only worked on this a little bit. But I did finally save it on a flash drive!
Post Regularly – I missed a few (or more?) that I’d intended to write
Lose weight/work toward health – for more info, check out Health Update Aug/Sept 2017
Read more books on Jewish living – I’m currently reading Jewish Roots by Dan Juster
Write a letter to one person a month – nope
Try a new recipe – Mostly this month I’ve thrown meals together but I did make 2 from Against All Grains – the Banana Pancakes and Vanilla Granola. I most likely fudged both recipes, making them with things I had on hand, rather than following them exactly. But they both were yummy and I really want to make the granola again. It was the first time I’d made soaked-nut granola, also oat-free and I loved it!
Watch/Read a documentary/biography – I watched part of Gordon Buchanan’s Tribes Animals and Me.
Recap of Sept goals:
Finish Adirondack Chair before the rains come – nope and I doubt now that it’ll get any work done on it until spring/summer next year. For now, it’s sitting in my office. Sad.
Work on Disability – I did call a disability lawyer beginning of this month but haven’t heard back from them. I haven’t called them back either though soo….
Scrapbook Laura’s visit – I’m 3/4 of the way done with it!
Deep Clean bedroom – we bought a bed frame finally! Getting that really helped give me the motivation to finish cleaning the room.
Two things I didn’t think I could do, but I did!
~Drove to a friends’ house and back – that equals an hr drive! I was so excited that I was able to do this!
~Drove to Bend and back! – it’s 3 hours one way so I was nervous about it but I did fine!
Oct goals:
Go to a pumpkin patch
Deep Clean Laundry Room
Call Disability Lawyer again
Buy Cover for the VW Bug
Trim crazy grass bushes in front of yard
Prep for NANOWRIMO
Linking up with Stay Gold Autumn again!
