But it was still hot all month. Nooooo. What is up with the Southern weather? The leaves didn&#8217;t start changing until about a week or so ago, which is super weird, because usually they start in the beginning of October. This has been an odd year when it comes to weather. Hopefully November brings cool weather because I miss my boots and scarves. October was certainly a better month than September. That&#8217;s for sure. It had it&#8217;s downsides and its highlights.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p><!-- more --><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">What I did:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">1.)

Offline life carried some really good things and some not-so-good things. We&#8217;ll start with the not-so-good things to get them over with. (I include these because no one&#8217;s life is perfect and I don&#8217;t want to be one of those people who acts like their life is peaches and cream when, yes, they are still a human with problems like every other human. Rant over.) I got let go from Queen&#8217;s Pantry because the boss said they were downsizing, which sucked a lot and my twelve-year-old tabby cat passed away when I was out of town, so yes I have struggled this month, but I also had a lot really great things happen this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/2015-05-142B11.25.18.jpg?resize=400%2C298\" width=\"400\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">I miss you, buddy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">First of all I got hired as a social media manager for Splickey Havok Magazine!
