For the two people who read my blog, we have reached the end of another 30-day challenge. Actually, we reached it a few days ago, but I've been busy. And it has been a really busy 30 days. I still read my two books and did my two activities, but my physical activity and eating right goals were a little short. Two be fair, I spent several days this past month with the usual, awful weather changing cold.
Anyway, I did read The Splendid and the Vile: A Tale of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz. I also read a self-help book my mom got me a few years ago called You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. And these two books taught me a lot. I obviously learned a lot about Churchill and the first year of the London Blitz during WWII. I also learned that my grandmother, who claims to love history, only really cares about American history. She kept asking what part I was at, and was disappointed when I said it didn't cover Pearl Harbor or the entrance of America into WWII. I also learned that self-help books, though well-intentioned, aren't really my jam.
I also went to the haunted corn maze with my brother, and he was quite afraid of the spooks. Later, I went to see National Parks Adventure at the local Pink Palace Museum (which has rebranded as the Museum of Science and History). I now would very much like to go to Yellowstone.
And in other news, public education is still in a state of emergency. Let's add terrible heating systems to the list since the school has been super hot for the last week, meaning no one can concentrate. I've written about said emergency, and I working on getting it edited. You know, if anyone knows an interested publisher.
Enjoy some photos.

| One thing the school system did good on was hosting yoga for teachers at Shelby Farms before the weather changed. It was really fun! |
