October and November pages in my monthly calendar

I'm still having problems with Blogger not allowing me to leave comments on any Blogger blog with embedded comments (like mine), although I can leave them on blogs other than Blogger.  So if you don't see a comment from me, please don't think it's because I don't care.  It's because I can't leave a comment. I'll at least try to visit.

Of course, all of this stress is nothing compared to what my wonderful blogging friends who live on the east coast of North America are experiencing.  Wherever you live, please take a moment to think about what these blogging friends are experiencing while we sit warm, cozy, safe, and dry in front of our computer screens, enjoying endless electrical power that plugs us into the world wide web.  How incredibly stressed and helpless these friends must feel today and in the weeks ahead as they attempt to rebuild their lives, homes, and communities.

Having said that, I'm also still participating in Kate's monthly calendar challenge.  You can see all the entries at The Kathryn Wheel if you click the link.  I'm sure Kate is pleased so many of us are still keeping these daily musings.  Just two more months to go before I have to find and start a new journal, this time one that I'll have to start from scratch. 

October was a dichotomy of images.  I was torn between autumn's pumpkins and my (now seemingly inconsequential) computer woes. 

For those who prefer to see my crude attempt at cutting and drawing pumpkins, here is the left side of my October pages and

here is the right side, which is primarily devoted to images depicting my computer problems.

Unfortunately, because of the obstacles Blogger has placed in front of me, November is not starting out too well, although we all know I'm faring much better than many of my fellow Americans.  As always, I will wait till the end of the month to decorate my pages based on what has happened in my world this month.

I hope November will be less stressful as the month progresses, because I will be sharing my art every day

on Art Every Day Month or AEDM as I will call it from now on, which is an extension of Creative Every Day.  Thanks for visiting, either from The Kathryn Wheel or AEDM.


EDIT: I now believe my blog problems are related to Blogger.  I could not find the link at Kate's  today.  It was simply NOT there, like it's not on my blog, either.  However, I tried something different.  I  went to my BING/Microsoft translator on my left sidebar and put in Kate's blog address.  It came up along with the link I needed to add my blog and photo.  It was only then I could add the address.  Even now, I can't see my blog or any other blog for that matter, unless I go to the translator.  I only hope this problem gets resolved soon.
