Roll Call for November!

Hey All,


 How 'bout taking a moment to check in and let us know: 1.) the usual, who ya are and a general where 2.) How's the weather in your area? 3.) Set a goal for November! And anything else you'd like to share with us!


Here's mine.... Lori (cl-onceachild), I live in Maine, weather has been milder than usual most days and my goal for November is to walk more and to add more calcium to my diet (I rarely drink milk!). Other than that, as I mentioned in an earlier post, just trying to get rid of this cold! Hugs, Lori

Hi! I'm jan in NW PA. Last night we had a hard frost. The last few marigolds in the porch boxes got cooked;) My hands nearly fell off from the cold when I walked the dog this morning. So, I stuffed a pair of gloves in my jacket pocket to get ready for what will surely be a long, cold winter):


My long term goal is as always to keep myself centered, so the anxiety doesn't overwhelm me. Short term, I hope to have a job very soon. I have had a couple of positive interviews. I sent a couple of resumes in. I would like to say that I'll be working by the first of next month, but who knows??? I'll take it as it comes. (((hugs))) jan

Mary here in Iowa and believe it or not for trick or treat we didn't have to wear a coat or a jacket now of course you have to hold onto something or else you get blown away from the wind and talk about cold, I hate this weather. my goal for Nov is to lose about 15 pounds in a healthy way and to keep it off.

The kids are doing pretty good in school, we had our P/T conferences and well my 9 yr old is having a lot of trouble but I got him the help that he needed it was a bit of a hassle to get him into special classes but finally he is catching up a little, my 11 yr old is having a few problems in Science and social studies but in home schooling they don't have to have those courses so we never did them, my 5 yr old is excelling he is reading already and is way more advanced in his class in a lot of areas., and my 15 yr old well she is failing 4 of her 5 classes and it isn't that she doesn't understand it is bc she doesn't turn in her school work so if she doesn't turn it in or if it is late then she gets a 0 on that assignment. Me I am doing pretty good, I have my days and now that fall is here this is the time that my depressive side of my bipolar kicks in so I have to try to keep that in mind and just pray that I don't fall to far into the depression, but I try to keep busy.

Cathy in NC........My goal for November is too keep my appt for getting help. It is next Wednesday. I answered my phone and I was as honest as I could be, she said I needed to be seen right away, but the 14th was the earliest available. I said that was fine, I have made it this far. I have too many other Dr. appt. this week anyways. If I can keep busy with something or not let it get to quite it my brain, which is not easy, I will be ok.


I really want to beat this without meds, am I being unrealistic?

WTG, Cathy! ITA w/Lori. Perhaps meds will just be a temporary tool to help you get *righted.* It was for me. I will keep my fingers crossed & wish you the best of luck! (((hugs))) jan

Shelly - from North East Ohio. Rainy and cold. My short term goal is to remain happy at my new job and make it through the probation period! And not to eat too much for Thanksgiving.
