Yikes! I'm due for an update. I'm keeping up with my walking. 3 days a week. One mile. Even throwing out my back and major spasm by my scoliosis didn't stop me.
I got started on my new afghan. Alpaca for softness and cotton for weight. All purple!
I got some Halloween arts and crafts thought up for my daughter and got a few done.
I'm also making a little afghan for my dog.
We made brownies, pudding, muffins and cookies.
I also did a much better job with actually cooking instead of throwing together pre-made or ready to eat foods.
All in all, I'm doing pretty well.
I get a pony!
Oh, and yes, my budget worked this month! It's finally sorted.

On a different note, I'm traveling via airplane later this month and I'm so scared silly. I'm so glad my dog is certified and my daughter knows what she needs to do. I don't want her to miss out on fun things in life just because I'm broken. It's going to take every ounce of will power. I'll be mia the 22nd-25th afternoon.

Cg great job knitting! do we get to see the final result?

I haven't gotten to see the new series yet. The new movie was awesome! I love the references you wouldn't get without having seen the originals. I grew up with the originals. Loved every second. My brother even had a Raphael birthday cake. Oh my, and the nes game! I spent days playing that. Back when you still walked into a store to rent games and vhs movies.

I get about 6 hours overnight and one 4 hour nap or two 2 hour naps in the afternoon. I switched because health problems made it necessary. My energy did increase significantly.

My brother is a certified genius and he advocates it as well. It's more of a natural rhythm. To sleep during the hottest time of day and the early morning when nocturnal predators have gone to sleep, but the daytime ones haven't woken.

Those are gorgeous! I love rapunzel as a g2. 

Ditto

I would buy her if I could. No way for that to happen this year. 

I've read two books so far and heard they have a movie of the first coming out. Has anyone else read it/them? Do you think they'll be able to make it a good movie? I'm also trying to decide if it will be too scary visually for my daughter. The monsters in the books were pretty creepy.

Thank you all!
