October spooking/scary things

     Today was an absolutely gorgeous day! Raining with fall leaves so beautiful!  I do love Fall I just kind of dread winter. My body cannot handle the cold very well.
     October is kind of known for doing spooking/scary things. I went scuba diving for the first time in a crater last Saturday. I was very nervous. When I practiced in the pool I did not feel comfortable with the diving equipment. I felt like somehow the equipment would fail me and I would run out of oxygen. In a pool the deepest we probably went was 15  (I don't know how deep swimming pools go). So I was really worried when I went 35 feet deep and the surface wasn't quite so near somehow my scuba gear would fail me. It did not. And I got a lot calmer after I discovered that. The water was so nice! 97 degrees fahrenheit! It was dark though and the only living thing was algae growing on a wheel. We were just practicing but it would have been neat to see more life. I did hurt my ears though :( When I got home from the crater I found blood coming out of my ear. I went to the doctor and I have a "partial tympanic membrane perforation". Which means I can't go underwater for a few weeks :( Which means I have to miss my final in the pool scuba class. I really hope I don't lose a lot of points. It is not my fault I have to miss. Well it is a little my fault I guess I didn't equalize right. I swear I equalized every few feet. So I don't know what happened. Oh well overall I am very happy with my scuba diving class. And I am happy with conquering my fears.
  I got to "donate" plasma today! I was so happy I have had problems with too low of blood pressure. I did not think I would pass today. But I did! Now I have a little extra cash and hopefully I can keep doing it. I do feel weird trying to raise my blood pressure for money. Since all my life I have been taught to live the healthiest life style I can.
  I  am excited for Halloween I made this costume with my sister Alyssa and I am really excited for it! Although I really don't have a place to go with it. I can also wear to Renaissance fairs though so it's not all bad. I really do like to sew. It is crazy how addicting it is.
  The beginning of Fall has made me happy.
