So How Did I Do Last Month?

-Enjoy Imaginarium! Didn't sell any books last year, so no expectations other than to do well on my panels and enjoy catching up with friends! Last year, our goal was to expose Brooke and Nancy to everyone....Nancy sold one book and Brooke was picked up by a publisher:) Sold 1, but had a great time seeing everyone!
-Take more things to auction from Brown House (Brian Thais came over and took several items to his dad's house!!! Was too busy to get back to auction.
-Finish cleaning out Brown House front room and re-organizing front bedroom Not yet
-Finish cleaning out Green House Not yet
-Have successful launch of Whispers Had 8 others show up for our Open Mic/Launch Party, but books never arrived from Amazon. Still, a good night was had by all:)
-Do well at Collections Carnivals Craft Fair on the 27th Sold 7:)
-Have enjoyable time with Ghost Hunters Postponed til after the first of the year.

Neck Update: Improving! Still feel slightly weak in left bicep, but only at the start of my shower.
Achilles Tendon Update: I'm now in an air heel cast for 6 weeks. Was supposed to start therapy this week, but my insurance will only pay $50. Since the initial consult is $500, I guess I'll just have to take my chances. DID find out that if I pay $100, they can still treat me. 11/6: Went yesterday and now have at least 6-8 exercises to do every day. Therapist said bad shoes and walking on uneven pavement *probably* contributed to my issue.
Granddaugher's Gift....
She shared her cold with me on the 14th, and it morphed into an upper respitory infection. Started on Azithromycin and Prednisone on the 29th. Already seeing results; I'm not trying to hack up a lung or needing two breathing treatments per day! Did learn a valuable lesson this morning: Do NOT take Predisone on an empty stomach! 11/5: Took last meds this morning; cough is 90% gone!
