I’m a little late in getting my October Recap post up! But I’m so happy to be in one of my very favorite months! I love November! I love Thanksgiving! I love that November isn’t as packed and commercialized as December with all the Christmas happenings. So what were the highs and lows of this month? I’m so glad you asked!
Lowlights
- The unbloggable! Alas, life is always full of these isn’t it? Just know, when you see all my highlights, it doesn’t mean my life is perfect, it just means there’s things I choose not to share on such a public platform.
- A bloggable lowlight has been sickness. My son had a nasty cold that started in the end of October and went with him into November. There’s lots going around in our area.
Highlights
- I made just a few cents shy of what I made the previous month on ebay. My top sales for the month were Richard Kerr earrings, this bear sweater (it was returned by the last buyer), and a Star Trek blanket. I credit Katy at The Non-Consumer Advocate for the inspiration for this one. She sold a table of elements blanket which I remembered when I saw this at Goodwill. And it sold in less than a month!
- Just over a year ago our son began taking Taekwondo lessons. He’s been faithful at it and this month he advanced from a yellow belt, to a yellow belt with green stripes! I really enjoy watching him test!
This was from a previous test, but you get the idea.
- A huge highlight for me this month was getting hired as a personal care attendant. 5 days a week I go to a client’s house and clean, do laundry, grocery shop, cook, or just chat with her. I’m thankful for a part time job that brings in some money and especially love getting to spend time with my client.
- The biggest garden news of the month was 65 pounds of sweet potatoes and a pile of watermelons!
Right now I have all these sweet potatoes and watermelons on my kitchen floor!
- Another highlight was participating in the Cool Bloggers Walking Club! Actually since the month ended (and therefore the walking challenge ended) I’ve only been on one walk….poor Bruno, he wishes we’d walk every day!
How was your October? Is there sickness traveling around your neck of the woods too?
