So this month kicked my behind.  I wasn't as organized as I usually am and was really struggling to get my act together.   I was in a car wreck on Oct 29th and I wasn't hurt just my car.  I stopped and the guy behind me did not stop.  Basically for the entire month I was dealing with insurance agencies about my car.   I had my month planned out but when I went to do my start I realized I didn't have my floss separated for my Disney kits like I should have and some fabric wasn't cut....so I had to rearrange my starts.
