Fall is in the Air - October 2021 W.I.S.H. Challenge

[sjrec]

It’s been a good week-my sister brought her dog on her visit so we took more walks than usual. Went out for dinner last night-had a lovely salad with lollipop lamb chops. Sounds odd, but it was really good!
Not a lot of rain but lots of wind. Might check out the waves later.

I can do 11/15-21 next month

 

[Oneanne]

I’ll set up November and do the first week.

I had a surprisingly good dentist appointment and found out that the reason I have tooth sensitivity is because I floss too much. Here I thought I was doing a good thing…

Tomorrow I am getting my Moderna booster shot. I didn’t realize that I qualified, until I read a news article that basically said that more people qualify than we think. I am not looking forward to the side effects, but I need to get it done.

What is your favorite Halloween movie?

Beetlejuice is probably number 1. Hocus Pocus, Haunted Mansion, and Rocky Horror Picture Show are also favorites.

Tomorrow, DD & DH unfortunately have to work during the day, but we will watch a couple of these movies after they get home.

Doing self-care one day early, getting my hair colored at the salon.

Last week, one of my students asked me, “What color was your hair when you were little?” I replied, “Light blonde.” He said, “But then why do you have a brown stripe on top of your head?” I can’t wait for his reaction on Monday when I am fully blonde again.

So Muppets Haunted Mansion may be my favorite Halloween movie. I enjoy Hocus Pocus but it's not a must watch for me. Generally not a Halloween movie fan.
Although Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Garfield and Friends Halloween (which I just saw is on youtube) are winners. Hopefully can watch them later when DH and the boys get home from the "camp in."

I also did my self care a day early...made some granola so I have something easy and yummy to grab other than the candy that will be rolling in tomorrow. Also made some rice Krispy treats because there clearly wont be enough sugar around the house this weekend.

Hocus Pocus is my favorite! Every year, I try to catch the "pop'n knowledge" version.

I also like Halloweentown, and watched that while I was making candy bags this morning.

I just recently heard that Halloween Town was filmed in a town here in Washington State and they do it up big this time of year.

I like Hocus Pocus and have watched it twice this year. Not a Halloween movie, but I watched Practical Magic last night which I love. It is so full of feminine energy and, well, magic. I’m generally not much for scary movies, but I remember like The Others and am going to see if I can find it on demand.

Hocus Pocus-and not a movie, but the Charlie Brown special is a favorite.
I love that it’s going to be cool, fall weather tomorrow for Halloween.

My brother and sister-in-law got theirs last week (Moderna) and just had moderately sore arms-hope you have a similar experience!

I got it at 3:00, and besides the sore arm, I just feel really tired. I made sure to get everything done earlier today, so I can just rest. Hopefully this is it for side effects.

Oops... did it a gain.

Sunday Self-care

 

[Oneanne]

Self-care for me today is going to PT and my Niece's to do our natural dyeing. I've got everything together and even pre-stitched some of my pieces of fabric so that I'll have some interesting patterns to work with. Crafting with others is another thing I haven't done for a very long time, like the workshop last weekend, so I'm really looking forward to it.

I am very happy to report that other than some aches and pains, my booster side effects are minimal. I have no fever, and I got a good night’s sleep.

Today will just be resting, laundry, driving DD to and from work since people are rather wild around here on Halloween. She had a guy approach her and bang on her car at a red light the other day. This way, she will feel safer.

Tonite, we are keeping the lights off (not giving out candy due to the pandemic) and watching Halloween movies.

I've discovered the weight loss secret! Get your pfizer booster. You'll lose 2.8 pounds in one day!!
I weighed on Saturday as usual then for a lark got on the scale today. I got my booster Friday and side effects were worse this time than the second shot. Ugh. But I feel I am pretty much in the land of the living today. Was laughing when I collapsed into bed last night because I walked a total of 196 steps.

My self care for today will be a little stretching because I am still achy and some housework because if I have to look at that grungy bathroom sink anymore I'll scream!

We have no Halloween candy here because I was eating it! I took it to work, and we'll leave our porch light off. We never get that many kiddos anyway.

Looking forward to November!

Everyone has gone home, so it’s pretty quiet around here today. Will do some yard clean up and then go for a walk. It’s a beautiful fall day!
Going to experiment with the air fryer feature on our stove and make chicken wings for the football games.

Can’t believe it’s November tomorrow! Thank you for getting us started, Oneanne! And would love to see pictures of your fabrics!
