Hello November!

Yesterday was Halloween; I don't usually dress up, nor do I pass out candy any longer.  There are no small kids living on our block, so no one knocks anyways.  But ... this year I bought a little "outfit" for Sadie that was orange with black ruffles and sparklies, and says "Mommy's lil Pumpkin" on the back of it.   I stuck it on her and we headed out for a walk.  She balked at wearing .... "such a ridiculous thing" but we walked .... or rather she  trotted -- as if she just wanted to hurry and get this over with!!

We got about half way around the block and she stopped dead in her tracks, refused to walk another step, no matter how much I tugged and coaxed her.  I took off the costume and we merrily trotted our way home.  

LOL silly dog.   or is it silly mom for making her wear it????

Frustrating day in the long run -- it's time to sign up for Benefits at my BigBox store, and as usual, the websites are impossible to use.  It seems they are linked to Banner Health websites, and when you try to find your provider in the list of names -- I dislike doctors overall, and I really dislike having to change doctors after having one I've been seeing for 5 years now.  It becomes such a pain to explain all the history a 56 year old woman has endured over the years!   Sometimes I think I should just type up a "cheat sheet" for handouts!  hahaha

I'm still addicted to watching the Netflix series "Longmire" , and am so happy they have announced that they will be doing a Season Five!   woo hoo :)



Otherwise, it is now officially


November...

and with that, the entire

"holiday rush" begins.

YUCK
