November begins...

Halloween was a rainy and cold evening.  We did not get any trick or treaters so B got to eat the candy he had purchased.  He liked that.  We have not had trick or treaters for about 4 Halloweens now.  We live on farmland so most of the time when we had trick or treaters, they were driven by someone to the house.  Most of the time, they came just to see where their teacher lived while I was still working.

The weather is typical of November here in the Upper Peninsula...cold, windy and rainy with a few snowflakes thrown into the mix.  Temps range from below freezing to the 50s, if we're lucky.

I turned the clocks back Saturday night before bed.  I have been reading how people have a difficult time with the time change.  B and I seem to do just fine.  Go figure.

Monday, B and I went to the medical center as I had to have blood drawn for my PTH labs.  I dislike getting blood taken because I have veins that give the nurses a hard time to find to get the needle in.  It sometimes takes 4 to 5 jabs before they get the vein by which time, I am a stressed out mess.  This time, the nurse did it so well, I had to ask her if she got the needle in which she had.  I hope I get her every time I have to do this.  Hopefully, the results will show some improvement with the PTH.

I am starting to get the house ready for the upcoming holidays.  A lot of cleaning and furniture moving.  B will be taking the bed quilts to the laundromat because they are too bulky for our washer.

I have started to fill up the pantry and freezer for the holidays.  Not much to do there as I work on this throughout the year.

B is starting on his last run of the season over the leaves with the lawnmower as the rest of the week is supposed to be cold, rainy and more snow is coming in over the weekend.

Winter is coming and I am not happy about it.
