November 1 - Started the month off with some Nightmare Before Christmas while the Halloween decor was still around.
November 2 - The trees at work were very extra special beautiful.
November 3 - Voted in person. Distancing and mask use was very good at out local polling place.
It was a relief to get it done!
After we voted I got to our somewhat recent tradition of putting Halloween away and getting out Christmas on election day. It's a nice distraction from looking at news.
We watched Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time in years after the tree was decorated.
November 5 - Oh fine, I will do the dishes, but I'm going to be a depressing dramatic Dutch golden age painting about it.
I made a super lush and delicious mushroom red sauce pasta for dinner.
November 6 - I'm really happy with how it looks at night! So comforting.
November 7 - Seeing cool things is a cool thing. I loves these little piles of acorns and leaves!
I found a giant leaf at work.
November 10 - Watching the leaves change at the forest has been so nice.
November 10 - I put something resembling effort into my hair. It's hard to get up that gumption!
November 13 - Waiting for Shaun at the gas station. Just existing.
A little sleepy Jade time.
November 15 - The most symmetrical acorn squash I have ever seen!
I cut it very evenly too!
I was really proud of this squash, okay?
I filled it with curry and quinoa.
November 16 - Pretty winter berries.
Dumpling soup is a major winter favorite.
November 18 - Grocery day.
Then cramps and letting Shaun take care of me for a bit. He heats up an excellent hot water bottle.
November 19 - I put out my cool ceramic tree my mom got me last year.
Lots of pictures, it makes me so happy.
November 23 - A gloomy day, my favorite.
November 24, - I took an hour long bubble bath. 🤷🏻♀️
November 26 - Thanksgiving with my mom and brother.
Stuffing stuffed acorn squash, roasted veggies and cranberry sauce.
November 28 - A naturally occurring ringlet!
Annual Christmas Pig portrait.
November 29 - I took a bath and the only time I looked at my phone during it was when I took this picture. Maybe the most genuinely relaxing bubble bath I have taken in months. I thought the phone reflected in the water was novel.
I've been re-reading Anne Perry mysteries before bed. A really cozy winter activity.
November 30 - I was bird watching a bit at work, but then I noticed how good this tree is.
I took a bit of a winter break from posting! But I'll get December posted soon and we'll be back on track with my photo diaries. I still want to get all my 30 before 30 film rolls shared here too.
