November Goals...

I haven't set a list of goals for myself for a while due to a variety of reasons...and I'm not sure that I'll be able to get a lot of the ones I've planned for November done due to working more in the upcoming weeks.  But I'm going to give it a whirl and hope for the best!

• Read 5 books - I'm thinking that this one should be an easy one since I've been reading more than ever lately.  I've been carrying a book with me at all times so if I have a few minutes I can dive right on in.  The five I'm planning on reading are The Serpent And The Rainbow (somewhat of a reread) / Nine Lives: Mystery, Magic, Death And Life In New Orleans / The Boundaries Of Desire: A Century Of Good Sex, Bad Laws and Changing Identities /  Red Lory / The Devil All The Time.  There's a lot of 'Grit Lit' in there but it's my thang.
• Create a better sleep schedule - I've been doing a lot of things to improve my health but for some reason my sleep has been suffering.  I'm trying to do things to help with the issue such as tart cherry juice, turning off the computer a good 30 minutes before I go to sleep, keeping things dark in the room, etc.  Nothing has worked so far but I'm going to continue with what I'm doing while adding in things like putting essential oils to my pillow as well as figuring out the best sleep schedule for me.  I'm thinking trying to hit the hay at 10 most nights except Monday when I work late.  I can't keep running on 4 or so hours anymore.  This month things have got to change.  Zzzzzz.
• Cull the closet - I'm trying for a more capsule style wardrobe.  The less stress re: clothes the better.  Wish me luck!
• Get outside as much as possible - This time of year is my favorite!  A bit grey and hazy that makes the changing leaves seem even brighter.  CARDIGANS!  Bonfires!  Hikes where you don't sweat buckets.  Bring the fall weather.  I'm down.  So down.
• Be super frugal - We want to save a good amount for our trip to New Orleans next month.  I've already found us a super cheap airbnb home but we'd like some fun money for visits to our favorite places.  Plus there'll be a lot of holiday goodness going on so I'd like to have saved up so we can attend special events.  I think I'll be able to cross this one off the list for sure!
• Find one thing a day to be grateful about - Pretty self explanatory.  Trying to stay happy over here!

Feels good to make a few plans.  Like I said, I may not be able to do it all but it's fun trying.

How about y'all?  Any goals for the month?
