It’s been a long few weeks…and so much has happened. So I’ll do my quick 10 to catch you up to speed:

1. Thyroid is gone. Radiation is over. That was rough. Have you ever had a nurse warn you not to throw up because it would be considered a radioactive spill? Fun times. Still waiting to hear those magical “cancer free” words, but they’ll come soon enough – I have faith. Meds are still a carousel ride. But this too shall pass.
2. Deer hunting was successful, for both me and my oldest. Couldn’t be more proud.
   

   His first deer. On his first shot.

   

   My buck…I’m more than happy with it. And it tasted good, too. And yes, I field-dressed it myself.

3. New gig – I’m coordinating our state’s CommonGround program. Perfect. Fit.
4. I have a child with a driver’s permit. How did that happen???
5. I live in North Dakota. As in the #DAPL protest site. Winter can’t come soon enough. But it’s a great opportunity to teach my children about the process that has been set and why it’s important to be involved. In the beginning.
6. Harvest. Still not done. Enough about that.
7. But my Christmas shopping is pretty well done. So #6 better happen before the bills from #7 come in. Just kidding. See #3.
8. After a few  years on our state’s Farm Bureau board, I stepped down as Promotion and Education State Chair. And promptly replaced it with two more committees with different organizations. I need therapy.
9. Our high school football team took its first-ever state championship title. I’m so glad I was there to witness it with my boys!!!
10. It’s now almost December. How the heck did that happen?

That’s it for tonight. I’ll be back at it later this week. 😀
