October is my busiest month! It is also my most challenging month for weight loss. Similar to 2023, when I vacation in September then roll into October, the pounds tend to pack on. This is definitely something to get ahead of in 2025. For now, we just tackle it one pound at a time.
What have I been up to?
After October travel plans shifted, I’ve actually had the last few weekends off. Besides the enjoyable time spent with The Hubs, family, my Elks family, and friends, I decided I could get used to retirement life!
I celebrated It’s Your Day at Flying Pie where I got my first Birthday Month freebie, a pizza.
I met Michael, Sierra, and Mike at Brown Beard Brewing Co.’s new location in Garden City for their kick off pirate party. We had a great time with several Boise Beer Buddy members.
The Nampa Elks Lodge hosted their first annual Oktoberfest party. We also attended a BSU Tailgate Party.
I made a quick trip to Spokane to celebrate Dawny’s 50th Birthday. We stayed at the Northern Qwest Casino where we saw comedian Vicki Barbolak. She was hilarious! We ended up on stage when she called up the October birthday babies. It was a great couple of days.
We visited the Golden Gem Mercantile for coffee flights. Thank lost money at the Coeur d’ Alene Casino.
Plans to visit a brewery didn’t pan out so we ordered a pizza to go and swung by the Coeur d’ Alene Elks for a pint and a visit.
Day 2 was spent in the spa area, eating Italian food, gambling and visiting with one of Dawny’s coworkers. We packed in a lot during out 48-hours.
I ended the last couple of weeks volunteering at Hoptoberfest, a beer festival put on by Boise Brewing Company. I just love volunteering at beer festivals.
There is so much more on the calendar including lunch with friends, several more freebie meals to collect, Witches Night Out with Wanda and Michael, Truck or Treat with ISP, and another mini-staycation after more cancelled travel plans.
