Where has October gone?

Can someone tell me where October has gone - did I sleep too long and miss most of it? It is already the 19th. My saving grace is that there is 31 days in October!!!! I know exactly what I'm doing so that isn't a problem but the usual thing of actually getting started is the problem. But I know I must!!! Maybe tonight I will start as I have finished Angeleigh's quilt and some Christmas stars that I only need to paint. Tonight is the night!!!!!
