The Happenings of October

Wow...
I've been really bad at this...
Again...

SO....

The good news is that I don't have a torn meniscus. In my knee, the knee I hurt?

The bad news is.........no one has any idea what is wrong with it. My knee is super weak, so I'm going through physical therapy to see if that helps.
And let me tell you, physical therapy hurts like crazy.
So, three more weeks of this and then we'll see if it helped.

So, what else did I do this month? I know there are still four more days, one of which is Halloween, but that will be its own post. ;)

It was my brother's 19th birthday. So I took him to see Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Day.

Then I took the Handsome Gnome on a Celebratory Date!!! He got an amazing grade back on a paper, so, I decided that was a good excuse to go eat good food and watch a movie. 

We went to see The Judge. A very interesting movie. It was good, though it did make me cry, several times.

Also this month, I got a haircut. And my sister did it for me. Yes, I was nervous, but I think she did an amazing job. :)

And probably a highlight of my month was when Handsome Gnome surprised me with flowers before we went to church!!! I loved them so much. :)

Then, the state fair. Woohoo!! So much fun. I went with my brother and sister, and Handsome Gnome and his brother. We had a great time! This makes three years since I became friends with this handsome guy, and they have been the three best years of my life so far.

These scrumfy things are jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese and barbecue, wrapped in bacon, and then fried. They were amazing. AND! They were 'fancy' fair food. They were made locally instead of in a traveling food truck.

Also this month, I have been able to write a lot in my story! I finally hit 50,000 words, and I think I'm on the last two chapters. It'll hopefully be soon!!
I'm also doing this writing contest thing where you write a 50,000 word novel in one month, the month of November. I'm not sure if I'll make it to 50,000, but I'll be completely happy if I make it to 20,000 words in one month! That'll be the most I've written in one month. :)

So, more to come later! I'm going to try to not get distracted again and write more. Hopefully...
