Money and Finance
October has been a crazy month and I can't believe that it's already done with. I didn't get to take advantage of the market selloff, well at least not with larger purchases, because investing was hardly my priority for the month. Essentially the whole month was spent with a few days at the hospital then a few days back at work then some more days at the hospital then a few more at work. There's been so many changes for Lucas but things are looking good and stable right now. Now we just need another 2 weeks and then as much time after that as he'll give us. He's still not out of the woods yet because the real action will start once he gets here but he'll definitely be starting out in much better shape.
If you read through my 3rd Quarter Goals Update post I failed pretty miserably on my health related goals. The 3rd quarter was a hell of a quarter and I'm glad that it's over with. Even though we're already one month into the 4th Quarter, there's no time like the present to get started on a goal. I'm planning on going an working out this evening once I get off work and with a new month I want to set some mini-monthly goals to hopefully keep me more motivated throughout the month and do at least a little bit every day. So my monthly goals for November are going to be:

So my monthly goals for November are going to be:
- 1,000 pushups
- 1,000 squats
- 1,000 burpees
- 30 minutes of planks
That works out to 33 pushups/squats/burpees per day and 1 minute of planks. We'll see how these goals go and ideally these will be done on top of regular exercise at the gym as well.
