I kind of feel like October was definitely 31 days long this year. It was rough but I dealt with it day by day. That's my goal for this month too. I'm working on staying focused on the weekly goals so as not to get overwhelmed with the rest of life too. It's helping me.

I felt like October was about 1 week long. With the wedding and starting a new job I felt very rushed and that time just flew by.
I am hoping that things settle in November and I can get back into a routine. I am craving routine right now.
