Is November really over! It seems like this month has gone by so very fast for me. It is crazy!
Things that Happened in November
- So much has happened it is hard to get it all in words. One of the students at my school suffered a stroke and is hospitalized for now. A counselor at the district high school died from an unexpected heart attack. My grandmother has been hospitalized yet again. It really hasn’t been a great month.
- My religious education class (4th grade) was enrolled in the Association of the Miraculous Medal. They are all so excited to have miraculous medals.

Things I’m Looking Forward to in December
- Christmas! And, of course, Christmas Break though I suppose I am supposed to call it “Winter Break” since it is a public school.
- My sister will be coming home again! Much as I used to complain as a child about my little sister, I love her to pieces. It is always great to spend time with her.

Sending positive vibes to your grandmother.
Every single on of those books I want to read or have. 🙂
Happy December, I hope it’s a better month for you personally.
Thanks. I hope you have a great December as well!
Oh, I hope everything turns out alright for your student and grandmother :/
Wasn’t a Court of Thorns and Roses amazing!?
Congrats on being almost done with your challenges! How on Earth did you make that challenge progress update?
A Court of Thorns and Roses was great! I really enjoyed it.
For my Challenge Progress Update I use a plugin called Shortcodes Ultimate. There is a shortcode that makes really easy vertical tabs which I used here. I also use the spoiler shortcode all the time such as when I give lists of books or hide my Reading Challenge Progress Bars on my sidebar. It is a great plugin to install with a ton of functionality if you are on WordPress self-hosted.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!
Sorry it has been such a rough month! One of my students was hospitalized for mental health issues, and that’s been sad. I am also looking forward to my winter break (and hopefully catching up on my blog because I just haven’t had much time lately). Happy December to you!
Thanks for visiting. We all definitely need our winter break. Only a week and a half left for me! I hope you have a great rest of the month.
Oh, I’m so sorry that November was a painful month for you. I hope that December is proving to be much better!!
While December has already been stressful, it hasn’t reached the level of November stress yet. I’m hoping it will stay that way.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great rest of the month!
