October recap (and a few pix)

November 1, 2017

Noteworthy in October:

1) I completed 2 weeks of time tracking!  A post with some sort of analysis coming soon.  I did rather enjoy this exercise once I got into it and do plan on continuing the experiment, at least to some extent.

2) Albums listened to and enjoyed:

– Kurt Vile & Courtney Barnett – Lotta Sea Lice
Susanne Sundfor – Music for People in Trouble
Aimee Mann – Mental Illness
Fleet Foxes – Crack-Up

I’ve been more into music lately, especially on my morning commute!

3) Books read:

Bored and Brilliant by Manoush Zomorodi
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

I’m also more than halfway through Crossing to Safety.


I am definitely not a prolific reader so 2.5 books in a month is great for me!

4) Workouts:

41.3 miles (total)
14 runs – 12 on the treadmill and 2 outside
3 barre workouts

5) Moment (time spent on phone):  Average of 59 min/day since 9/13/17

– October was actually heavier use than Sept, post-hurricane
– Most used app: Messages (not a shock there!)

Halloween & Assorted pix:

Trick or treating:



Halloween ended up being a lot of fun!
I was off, went to A’s school for a parade & then later for class party
We went around our crazy neighborhood, handed out a ridiculous amount of candy in a short time, and then crashed for pizza at Josh’s parents’ house.
34.5 weeks.  With pumpkins.
A month and change to go . . . 
November goals post to come!

    Can you share what the beads are for in the previous post? Not an intern, just a curious reader.
