Let’s check in on October's goals and my progress.

• Do something special for Arthur’s 5th birthday — The day of he was sick, but the day before we went to go see The Very Hungry Caterpillar at the Rose Theatre.

• Unpack to a reasonable point — Success. I still want to fix our master bedroom, but most of the house is livable.

• Join a book club — I didn’t actually join one, but I did start one of my own.

• Find a class/group for Arthur — No classes joined, but we did find a preschool and he’s starting next week.

• Find a few new-to-us places to hang out — Success.

• Launch my crafty business in Nebraska — Fail. I created an event, no one showed up.

• Go trick-or-treating! — Success!

November's Goals:

• Fix the master bedroom — We need to move a dresser, attach the mirror, move the other dresser, and then fix my outlet.

• Layout my TBR for the end of the year / start brainstorming reading challenges — Need to figure out those last minute reads to finish out 2018 and get started on my plan for 2019.

• Join/register preschool, gym, and library — I have the paperwork for Arthur’s new preschool, but need to drop everything off. I need to email the gym membership guy about joining process. And I want to get my library card this month.

• Buy some new jeans and key fall pieces — Um… living in California for almost 7 years means that I have little-to-none winter clothes. I just put in an Amazon order with new pants and sweaters. Hoping they fit!
