Good morning and welcome to the first Happy Homemaker Monday of November. Well we are now entering the holiday weeks, the busy, crazy, and amazing holiday times of the year.
It does also mean that we now have to focus on Thanksgiving and organizing it all, which I'm not quite ready for yet, but we will do it.
I also see a lot of people already decorating for Christmas, have you started? I haven't yet, but may start pulling out some of the decorations later today.
Anyway, thank you all for the comments on the last posts about my anxiety, I am getting through it, doing a lot of prayer, trying to train my brain not to overreact to everything and will definitely talk to my doctors.
Wishing you all a very happy and blessed week!
♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
We are expecting some strong storms later this afternoon with the possibility of tornadoes. Why we are doing tornadoes in November is beyond me, but ok. Hahahah
♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Sitting at my desk, I have a random Christmas movie playing on TV and I'm working on this post.
♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
It's been a lot going on lately, poor Elliott has had a tough month, it's been one thing after another. Just thinking how resilient animals are and how much joy they bring to us.
♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
Physically I am well, obviously the anxiety played a major part of my mental well being, but I'm feeling ok today and I plan to stay like that.
♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
I just had a cup of coffee earlier and haven't yet had breakfast. Not sure what I'll have but will probably end up being the usual scrambled eggs with cottage cheese. Or I may make a breakfast sandwich with an english muffin. I'm not very hungry, one thing about anxiety and stress for me is that I stop eating, it's weird.
♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
Not sure, I don't feel like anything in particular but will see how I feel later.
♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Sausages in tomato sauce, rice, mixed roast veggies.
♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Still in my pajamas, will change into something hahahah Not sure what. Either leggings, a dress or some shorts, I'm not sure.
♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥
Almost done with 2 Samuel in the Bible.
Currently reading Thornyhold by Mary Stewart. 
♥♥ On the menu ♥♥
♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
I need to do a bit of organizing in the living room to start making room for Christmas decorations and the tree.
♥♥ To Do List for the week ♥♥
- Carpet clean, vacuum, dust

As I navigate my anxiety journey, I have started two new plans on my bible app.

They seem to be pretty good, so we will see how that goes.
