October is a bit blurry. I had a LOT of meetings! Out of 44 families, I met with 28 of them. The good news is that November should be a bit quieter since there are only 16 meetings left.
I had some Spruce Grove meetings; these are some of my favourite because I set things up so I have time for lunch with a friend between meetings. It makes up most of my social life in October!
I had a birthday in October and now I'm closer to 100 than to my birth. I must be getting (or at least looking) old; young people have regularly been giving me a seat on crowded buses!
There was a bit of a glitch in October that led to me having to have difficult conversations with friends, both to confront sin and to sort out misunderstandings. The conversations went well and I'm a little proud of myself for having them rather than hoping things went away. Now there is nothing coming between us and our friendships are still strong.
The weather stayed pretty good all month. It's been chilly, especially in the mornings, but overall it's been manageable. I only had to go out one day when it was very windy and wet and chilly. The snow has held off so far. I'm hoping for a couple more weeks of no snow so I can finish at least the out-of-town visits.
I started helping with the 4-6 year old group for work's monthly parent support group. There are quite a number of them and it was crazy busy, but also fun. I'm (almost) looking forward to the November meeting.
It was a pretty good month taken altogether. I got a pile of my fall work meetings done, spent some time with friends, and basically enjoyed life.
