Well We started off the week with a rather odd day. Not bad, just odd! I woke up to my first student cancelling her lesson. I had errands to run and a super messy house, and had set my alarm a little earlier than normal to accomplish everything. After that, as the day went on my next two in line students also cancelled. This has NEVER happened before. It was crazy! I wasn't complaining, but it was weird. I didn't have my first of THREE students until 7 pm! I almost didn't know what to do with myself. But I somehow managed:) Turns out my free time is catching up on my bible study homework, and doing dishes. #Adulting
One of my errands was to get my allergy shot, and I had something to drop off to Emboz, so I texted her that morning to see if her shot was that day, and we planned it so we met up at the allergist's office at the same time. We snapped a pic outside because, # pics or it didn't happen. That's how we roll. and chatted a bit until I couldn't feel my toes. I bundled up the top 3/4 of myself, but left the house in my ballet flats by accident. Does anyone else have house shoes? I have flip flops, sandals, and flats that I just wear around the house. Well I forgot to put my socks and boots on, and it had been raining. My toes were SO COLD!
I finally made it home awhile later, after running into Aldi's for Halloween candy. And immediately put on socks and slippers. Emboz had teased me about my shoe wear, so I had to snap a picture to send to her.
All warmed up and ready to teach! Only, the 2nd student cancelled as I was sitting here waiting. soooo...
I busted out my Halloween Costume (and I use that term very lightly!) and snapped some pics.
I updated my chalkboard and had a slight freak out that the Christmas Recital is only 4 weeks away. ack ack and ACK!!
I slept terrible Monday night, and was half dead on Tuesday, but I pulled myself together, slapped on some makeup and got ready for trick or treaters. Jboz brought Ro Ro over to trick or treat on their way to an event. And he apparently forgot that he has known me since roughly 3 hours after he entered the world. He wanted nothing to do with getting a picture with Auntie Cherry. We finally tried sitting on the bench outside and B snapped this. I'm beside Jboz but I'm laughing like a hyena, so I spared the world from seeing that. It was pretty funny though!
Meanwhile Jboz and I managed to snap a good picture of us in less than 20 seconds. See how easy that was Ro? All you have to do is smile! #Pros
It was a chilly night for trick or treaters and I wished I had a sweater and thick leggings on. brrrrr..... I finally called it quits after no one had knocked on my door in over 15 mins. This year I actually had candy left! i was surprised! Old Lady Cherrybear only lets the kids have one piece (unless they are tiny and adorable) because there are tons of kids in my neighborhood, and my first year having trick or treaters, ever! I let people take whatever they wanted and was out of candy by 7 pm. Rookie mistake! Now I'm stingy, but at least everyone gets some!
Wednesday morning I was up before the sun and I was TIRED. My terrible nights sleep on Monday night, and not enough sleep Tuesday night had me struggling. I made it to bible study though and was coherent and participative throughout it so that was a plus! After Bible study was finished I thought I would go grocery shopping and run some errands. Oh man. I will not be doing that in W. Laf until they get all of their construction under control. It was ridiculous. I barely made it home in time to unload and put my groceries away before my first student arrived.
Thursday I woke up refreshed from actually getting a glorious nights sleep! I got in bed around 8:20 on Weds night. I listened to my audio book for awhile and then fell asleep before 10 pm. And it was wonderful. I tried out a new outfit combo, with a cardigan and a t shirt that I have worn the latter all summer long. I liked it!
We had a big rain storm go through around 9 pm, just when I had sat down on the couch. I had the living room window open since it was in the 60s, so I got to hear the beautiful relaxing sounds of rain. I loved it! Peace, quiet, and rain. Perfect ending to a really busy, and somewhat stressful day.
Leftover Halloween candy is great! Although I will admit, I took all of the cherry fruit chews out of the bag before putting out candy for trick or treaters. They are SO good!!
I've been listening to Christmas music since Sept. August if you count the hunting for students songs. I get excited when one of my all time favorite Christmas songs comes on! #NSYNCFOREVER
Friday nights sleep was WONDERFUL. Look at all that deep sleep!
Sunday was the return to DST and I wasn't mad about getting an extra hour of sleep! It was nice to shower and have it not be pitch black outside. I hate having to turn on the overhead light in the bathroom right after I've gotten out of bed.
It was a rainy, and stormy day. I went to church and heard a great sermon and then headed out to Crawfordsville to meet up with a guy to buy a nice Christmas tree from him. He stood me up. I was slightly annoyed. On the way home I got caught in torrential rain, think going 25 mph and not being able to see 15 feet in front of you. Finally the rain was getting lighter, and I was going around 50 mph. And then lightening HIT something less than 10 feet away from me while I was driving. It was terrifying. Lightening makes a much different noise when it's right next to you, and it's a noise I would prefer not to ever hear again. I was really annoyed after that. It was bad enough to have to drive over 30 mins away, and waste time and gas, but then to be close to danger. Nope. Just. Nope.
And that was week 43!
