Vermin's Month in Review, October 1 2024
Somebody forgot to wake me when September ended, so this entry is a little behind schedule. Could be due to the chaos of the start to another school year, could be the hangover from the Chiefs starting the NFL season 4-0. More than likely it's just because I was away for a couple days on a mini-vacation, still scouting for the perfect retirement property (for when the time comes).

The plan ahead is to try and knock off the Trick or Treat challenge again this year. I had fun with it last October, and it has a nice bit of variety to it. My Alphabet challenge wasn't so successful, stalling around E or F. I did get a nice chunk of completions out of the way which was nice, and I'm a few steps away from another to get the month off to a good start. With luck, that one Achievement I'm working on will come up in the challenge, too, so two birds with one stone. But will I find the time to play with all my favourite Hallowe'en shows to watch as well?
