Here we are in November already! Here's how the first day of the month went for me.
I started the day, as I do every day; heading downstairs to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
Then it was back upstairs to get ready for the day and eat a boiled egg which is my daily breakfast. I seem to be a creature of habit! It was rainy and cold; 41 degrees. This is the view from our living room window, beautiful even in the rain.
Then it was time to get some work done. I started a load of laundry.
I put together some slider sandwiches, some will be for supper the next night and some for lunches. They are ham and cheddar and turkey and swiss on Hawaiian rolls.
I cleaned the bathrooms and scrubbed the tub.
I finished my Sunday School lesson for the next day.
Even though it was still drizzling a little, Bob and I decided to take a walk down our road. I'm so enjoying the Fall color.
These woods are down our road and I love to walk in them. I'm afraid those walking times are soon going to be done for this year as the snow will be falling.
After we came back from our walk, I settled in with my computer to work on continuing education classes for nursing. My license is due for renewal and I need to finish the education requirements. I'm not working, but I'm not ready to let my license go yet because if you don't renew it, you can't go back and do it later. So - I studied hypertension and heart rhythms. I'm almost done!
In the meantime, our neighbors had been raking leaves and were trying to burn them. With everything wet, it was pretty smoky. I actually like the smell of burning leaves, and thought it fit this season.
We met Laura, Aaron and the girls for supper. We were celebrating Alaina and Ruby's birthdays. Alaina turned 14 the week before and Ruby is turning 11 next week. How did they get so old? We had a great time together.
After supper, we drove home. It was still sprinkling. We're almost home, our house is on the left.
We had a relaxing evening, turned on the fireplace and we watched a show on YouTube about restoring British military towers.It was a good start to a new month!
