Week 44

Welcome back!  Tuesday got away from me with too many things going on to balance so a Wednesday post will have to do.  We just started November but it sure feels like it will be over before we know it.  At least that means the college boys will be home soon and we'll have a full week with them--can't wait!  This house feels so empty even more so now that Bella is gone too.  The busy weeks help when we're out an about but it's hard when we're at home and can really feel the void.  I'm so ready for those boys to come liven the place up for us.

Until then here are last week's pictures:

Day 304- Monday, 10/31/22

Happy Halloween! These were the only lit pumpkins we had this year.  It's just not the same carving and lighting some without the boys.  Thankfully the college kids were good at sending me pictures and I was happy to see they were celebrating in their own way.  Brandon went out treating with his girlfriend and they dressed as a classic Halloween pair.  Justin had to work late in the library but still dressed as a creepy Halloween scarecrow for fun.

Day 305- Tuesday, 11/1/22

Happy November!  A co-worker of John's gifted us with some wine which was nice and at PT today John started using hand crutches to walk with.  The walker allows him to favor his injured leg too much and these crutches force him to put full weight on it so it can gain more strength faster.  He was pretty shaky on them at first but then got the hang of it.  Every little bit of progress helps.

Day 306- Wednesday, 11/2/22

Wednesday at work the Holiday cups are out in full force and a sweet co-worker of mine that was just on vacation in Africa brought me back this beautiful hand painted little bowl.  I love it!  The colors and design are amazing.  It will make a great addition to my cubicle that will help brighten it up a bit.

Day 307- Thursday, 11/3/22

November brings rain and lots of it!  Thanks goodness we are ending the year with some good rainfall and we just hope it continues through the winter like it's supposed to.  No I did not get a new dog, but I did get to watch this big guy for about 20 minutes today while at work.  He's super huge and well behaved.  The size of his big block head cracks me up.  He was here to help vert student practice exams and I thought they said his name was Brandon at first but turns out it's Grandon probably in honor of his grand head--lol!  Makes me miss my pup.

Day 308- Friday, 11/4/22

TGIF!  Time for some kitty cuddles and a Friday night movie.  We wanted to see this one on the big screen but the timing didn't work out.  It was still fun to see at home and I enjoyed having the old cast back to mix with the new.

Day 309- Saturday, 11/5/22

It's a gloomy fall day with scattered showers and I was able to get out for a quick walk to soak up the fall vibes.  We have so many trees in great fall color right now and the ground is littered with their falling leaves.

Day 310- Sunday, 11/6/22

Today as I checked the mail, that was actually delivered yesterday, I was happy to find the sweet memory cards from the vet service that helped us with Bella.  They took prints of her nose and paw and made cards for each of us.  Bittersweet for sure but super thoughtful and cherished.  

That's it!  See you next week.
