What gifts did I give and/ or receive? I spent the entire month choosing gifts for family and friends - I have had great fun selecting things I think the recipient will love! I am all set for Christmas so that I can focus on my JYC class - although I daresay December won't be gift-buying free!! I received wonderful gifts from Sharon and Stacey - as well as the gift of their time - and the others who came out for my girls night out!!!
What special or unusual purchases did I make? We bought a new Christmas tree - and I added to my collection of tree ornaments and Christmas decor.
What illnesses or health concerns did I have? None really although coming off my meds meant I had mega migraines - definitely going back on them!!!
What were my accomplishments this month? I took part in Shimelles 'Blogging for Scrapbookers' class. I signed up for two other classes.
What were my disappointments this month? I was very disappointed with SAIT and ended up cancelling my course with them. Considering they are an 'Institute of Technology', their 'computer fundamentals' class is not Mac friendly! I can't believe they would have a computing class that can not be completed with a Mac - and even if I missed out the first two windows-based modules and did the rest of the class on my Mac, they wouldn't let me take my exam on a mac!!! My Tutor was totally useless and couldn't even answer basic questuions about this issue. I ended up cancelling the course and this means I can't do the other classes that I REALLY wanted to do, because computer fundamentals is the pre-req course :( Poo on YOU SAIT!!!
Anything else noteworthy to include? Lloyd had time off in November and that was LOVELY....we are both excited about CHristmas - he was keen to buy the new tree and help decorate YESTERDAY - it's not even December yet!!! :) It has been a wonderfully close time with my gorgeous husband :) I miss him terribly when he is at work.
