Sampler from October: Birthday is Coming!


Since I just nudged folks to visit, I took a look at my recent posts and realized I didn't crosspost as many posts as I'd thought I had.  So, I'm taking one October post and one November post and bringing them over here.

What I'm doing this week (October 15):
Reading:
Rereading _Ex Libris_ for the hundredth time. It's such a wonderful book for reminding myself how much I love reading. 

Listening to:







Watching:
Lots of old favorites -- "Twister", "Death in Paradise", the Xmen reboot.

Doing:
Getting reading glasses. :) Settling in to the school year. My science kids chose neuroscience as their topic for this session, so immersing myself in neuroscience. Doing some writing-tutoring. Getting in some really solid workouts.

Eating/Cooking:
Continuing to work on my cholesterol-lowering eating plan. Lots of beans, soups, steel cut oats.

Something that went particularly well, this week:
I'm 90% caught up with my work. That's a really big deal.

Something that went less well:
I did not rock neuroscience class, this week. I'll do better next week.

Something I'm grateful for:
As always, my little family and my health.

Something I'm thinking about:
Considering costumes. Imagining what next year will look like.

Something I'm looking forward to:
An upcoming con. My birthday.
