Beverly got Student of the month back in September. They were supposed to have a celebratory breakfast the day the hurricane hit. It got rescheduled for this past Friday. I am so proud of Beverly and the hard working student she is. 
Harvey enjoys school for the most part. He had a good time getting his hands dirty as they had some hands on learning at school. 
The letter this week was “P.” He usually takes pieces of trash that start with the weekly letter to feed the trash panda, but Harvey really wanted to show his friends his new stuffy “Pink” that he had me make last weekend. Don’t worry, they didn’t make him throw away “Pink” he just got to kiss trash panda and get tucked safely back in Harvey’s backpack. 
We have been fighting a virus. It has slowly made it way through each family member. It hit Maverick today.
While I still made a few calls on the Crisis hotline, it was far less than the week before. Between being busy with normal life and fighting off a yucky bug, I wasn’t as available as I had been. There weren’t any organized volunteers for tree clearing this weekend either, so I guess as a whole we all took a bit of a break. Next weekend more stakes are coming from out of town to help us, so we’ll have another big organized effort going out to help around. Life is fairly normal now with fully stocked grocery stores, school and sports in session, gym classes are up and running, etc. but the streets are still lined with debris mostly waiting to be picked up, but in some cases still in need of helping hands to cut and gather. I kind of feel like I got shortchanged of the month of October. It is almost November when we enter holiday mode of Christmas decorating, shopping, etc. And I don’t feel ready for it. I barely feel ready for Halloween. I’m slowly getting back into writing and working on my novel and I’ve picked back up at the gym, but my energy levels seem to have missed the memo. It’s probably just this virus that’s been going around, but I am dragging. Anyway, that’s it for this week because I have a few other things I need to do today, but stay tuned for more next week. Love y’all.
