enjoying November

'Hello, November.'

Here's a day-by-day look at November since my previous post back on the 3rd:

I had planned to 'relaunch' the blog with great fanfare (and banners waving and trumpets blasting), but alas. And alack. And achoo. I now have 16 drafts in the queue to be published, dishes in the sink, laundry to be sorted, and entire warrens of dust bunnies to evict. However I am still ill. So a word of advice: if you see this viral bug coming, make like the Doctor and allons-y!

And since the 50th anniversary was on the 23rd, did you watch it? It was a humdinger.

Until next time, kids.

Onward.

* POST UPDATE * We've been to the doctor. We have 'a mild case of pneumonia'. And one of the Children has an ear infection. Melinda truly isn't enjoying November. Happy face.
