Mandala Monday and Playing Catch-Up

The past couple of weeks have been a bit, well, crazy. I have fallen out of my routine and it's bugging me.

(Deep breath)

Anyway, getting back on track...

This past week culminated in a wonderful lunch with Texter and three great friends.

And to keep it short and sweet, the past couple of weeks have revolved around...

• Broken tooth and it's temporary repair (and how come everything I want to eat are things I'm not suppose to eat until I get my permanant crown)
• Lady K and a hurried drive to/from Bozeman to pick her and Texter up and come back to Helena to the ER for suspected appendix issues to have it be a severe UTI. And then a week of trying to get antibotics down her.
• Out of state visitors and spending time, here and there, with them.
• Day trip to Missoula to the 'mall' and a day trip to Great Falls for some adult time alone while Lady K at school
• Prepping for NaNoWriMo
• Repairing a couple of items crocheted or sewn and getting sewing table cleaned up and sewing projects in order to begin and finish
• Crocheting while binge watching Season 1 of Stranger Things
• Picking up a new bit of sourdough starter and chatting with a friend Saturday afternoon
• Exchanged books with a friend (love to have friends who pick up books because they know you would like them)

This week will be a bit 'harried' also...

• HALLOWEEN! Party at daycare on Monday and then a couple of Trick or Treat adventures on Tuesday
• NaNoWriMo starts Wednesday!
• Wicked weather comes our way starting Wednesday....gets cold and rainy/snowy
• Bit of grocery shopping and cooking for the cold weather (ham is in the fridge already and part will become Tuscan Bean Soup)
• Bread baking
• Weather permitting - Fall Art Walk on Friday night
• TONS of reading...my stack of books has grown terribly
• Sewing projects ticked off my to-do list
• Reviewing goals for November, into December, and to finish up the year

But for now, I need to wake people up to get ready for school and have more coffee!
