November

I cannot believe its November already!  I just want holiday overwith (from a retail perspective anyway) and its moving right along.  We set Christmas in the store on Sunday and it was a long day.  Didn't get out until 1am and then had to work at 9am the next day followed by dinner with the family to celebrate mom's birthday.  Closed Tuesday and had to write the schedule and take conference call because the boss is on vacation.  Did an interview and have another interview again tomorrow.  Still have to hire about 5-10 more people!  At least I had today off.  I made some beef barley soup and it was amazing.  I ate about a half a loaf of sourdough bread throughout the day too.  I am off Friday too and Andy and I are planning to go out with Brad and Erika for dinner and then over to their place to watch the Sabres game.  Then I work Saturday and off again Sunday.  Not too bad. 

Hopefully the schedule for November won't need to be adjusted (for me anyway).  As it stands right now I have off the weekend before Thanksgiving which is also opening weekend of hunting season.  Doug will be here with the kids so hopefully it will work out that Andy and Doug can do a little hunting and Nicole and I can have some kid time.  I only have that weekend off and Thanksgiving Day when they are here so hopefully we can all spend some time together. 

So I fell off a ladder the other day at work.  I missed the last step and my knee hit the rung and its all bruised and sore.  Could have been worse I guess but I am using it as my excuse to not get on my treadmill yet.  So, basically what I am saying is I still have no motivation.  Could blame it on a lot of things...been trying to fight a cold, sore knee, other stuff to do.  I just gotta do it...the vitamins seem to be helping a little, but I just need to do it.  It was a pretty crazy week though with work and all the other birthday and anniversary celebrations.  Next week for sure.  I get my hour back on Sunday...yeah...Sunday starts the workout routine!  Time changes, knee should be healed, its Sunday so its a new week, I have the day off...yeah Sunday!

Things to remember:  really good beef barley soup, and awesome sourdough bread!  Having the windows and the front door open in NOVEMBER!  Grocery shopping at Wegmans and smelling all the great fall scents (turkey, sage, apples, etc) and not wearing a winter coat.  Driving with the windows down and the sun shining and remembering this is how winter in Arizona is and missing it.  *contemplating* decorating for Christmas...maybe...
