A Pat On The Back

Whoa.

I looked back at September, and realized that I made 34 posts in a 30-day month!  That far exceeds my current intentions to do 3 posts per week. 

Septemberish was a little busy for me...


  • surgery and recovery
  • going back up to over full-time (aka, being away from home 12-13 hours a day)
  • a few days of jury duty
  • the start of the semester (super hectic at work)
  • telling everyone at work that I'm leaving, making it official
  • training a new employee
  • prepping to train my replacement next month 
  • a change in blog format due to readers' requests:  made a tab at the top for the 2014 food storage plan, broke up posts with jump breaks for easier scanning of the blog for content (thanks for the tips guys!)
  • analyzing our finances in detail
  • making large strides in my personal happiness
  • the huge Mt. Diablo fire next to our house 
  • prepping for the 2014 food plan and the long-term storage plan (got a digital scale, worked out the exact amounts of dry goods to purchase and how much to eat per week, researched garden prep for next year and got seed, got the 5-gallon buckets and gamma seal lids)
  • meetings with my reproductive endocrinologist about fertility options
  • buying a new fruit tree (in a few years, we'll have fruit year-round)
  • preserving 10 gallons of tomatoes
  • meeting new people and making a few friends
  • revamping my exercise routine (adding in P90X and tons of hiking) 

Guess I needed the extra outlet to take my mind off things, and an excuse to do fun things like learning to roast coffee and ordering seeds for the next year.

Hey, it's my own blog.  I can tell myself:  "Good job Kendra.  Good job."
