What Happened to 21-31 October?

Sometimes life interferes and things drop by the wayside.  This time, it was the blog.  I still watched TV, I still read books, I still gardened (a lot) and cleaned the house (a little), and there were dinners made and dishes washed and laundry done and numerous trips made to transport #4 here and there.  But no active log of what was accomplished or not.
