November Wrap Up

November Goals

Personal: 

Read 5+ Books

• "Take a Thief" Mercedes Lackey
• "Trouble" Non Pratt
• "Arrows of the Queen" Mercedes Lackey
• "Maid of Secrets" Jennifer McGowan
• "The Fire Wish" Amber Lough
• "The Hero and the Crown" Robin McKinley

Average 15000+ steps per week day (with Saturdays at 10,000-13,000) -- Did not make this. Between the short day light part of the day and the very cold, slick, nasty kind of weather we've been dealing with, and the stupid cold I had all November, I was lucky to get 10,000 most days. I think I've got to lower this expectation until the weather gets nicer. 

New Projects / Pinterest Challenge:

My Projects:

Finish 1 quilt top: Random Reflections 2 of 2 -- I'm so close to finished. If I'd had one more day, I might have made this goal.

It's not a great excuse, but I think I can call all those reasons I haven't been walking enough for all the reasons I didn't complete enough this month. I've just been in kind of a slump -- though I have managed to finish some of the holiday prep. December isn't looking good for getting things done either, but I'm going to keep trying!
