#2271 not every day

Last time I wrote about how I was having trouble sleeping. On Thursday night, Halloween, I felt myself coming down with a bit of a cold, so I took some cold medicine. I'm happy to say that I had no trouble sleeping last night. I did have trouble waking up, though. Those Alka-Seltzer Plus gel tabs were strong! I'm really glad it is Friday night. I'll take a couple more of those tabs and get to bed early.

I actually dressed up for Halloween. I was a devil. It was my second choice. I wanted to be the Cookie Monster, but the costume I ordered was too small. I was lulled by the description and thought it would be okay. It wasn't. I was borderline obscene on me. I gave it to a friend at work. It was too long for her. She gave it to our other friend who gave it to her daughter. It fit her just fine and she looked cute. Maybe I'll try again next year with a bigger size because I really love Cookie Monster.

The devil was okay. I put red powder on my face and black powder around my eyes. My hair looked normal although I tried to make it look unkempt. I had little horns and a velvet red cape. It was really more of a raspberry color. I wore a black dress with black yoga pants and black boots. I loved the cape. I can repurpose it for a different costume another year. I really just want to wear it whenever I want. It's warm and flowy and even has a little hood.

When did my hair get so brassy looking?

So now it is November!  This is National Blog Posting Month, in which you are challenged to write on the blog every day. I have happily participated in past years, but I won't be playing this year. I'll be going to my happy place for a week and I won't be writing here during that time. I hope some others will accept the challenge though (I'm looking at you ladies in southern California).

November should be fun. I think I'm going to get to go to a Jazz game this month. I'll see Post Malone in concert. We have the trip to Mexico to look forward to and then there is Thanksgiving. That's something cool every week. Can't ask for much for than that, amIright?

Here's to a happy, healthy, fun-filled November!
