Finally Snow!!!

I have been on vacation from work since 4:30 pm on Tuesday waiting for the snow to come. We were suppose to be hit first thing Wednesday morning...nope, Nada, nothing. Today again the same! Until 5:02pm when leaving a LYS it hit salt lake hard. It hasn't stopped snowing and now the lake has added its say into the storm.

This month has really flown since I went back to work. I had to finish all the little gifts for direct reports, co-workers and managers. Most of the month our home pc has been down as Mr80grit has tried to improve our computer so it will continue doing its job until after we finish paying for the brand new car going into my mouth. (I have to have the top teeth all crowned, due to long term undiagnosed celiac disease) I am not a candidate to dentures for the same reason the bones in my face would collapse faster than normal, aging me 30 to 40 years. That is definitely not something I want.

I got a great package from Bea that I need to upload during my vacation . Maybe tomorrow as Mr80grit has the day off and can keep me from throwing the computer out the window.

Last Day

Well today is the last day of the month and last business day of my medical leave. I can't believe the month has gone so fast. We finally got snow on Tuesday/Wednesday, some is still here. It is bitter cold. I don't mind the cold as long as we have snow!!!

Mr80grit caught a cold this week and gave it to me last night. Just what I need to go back to work next week. But I have a few days to knock it out! Busy weekend planned with open houses for the pastor candidate this weekend for senior pastor at HBC.

I think it is funny that after fighting with the short term disability people at work, it finally all came together the last day. I miss the previous company that handled it. They seemed more on the ball. I think my cold medicine just kicked in as I don't feel like I am making sense. So bye for now.

Thanksgiving

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope all reading this did also.

I am Thankful for my new nephew who made his appearance on Wednesday morning. I am looking forward to meeting him soon!

I am Thankful for my family and their love for me.

I Am Thankful for my hubby, his love keeps me going.

I am Thankful for the Great I AM!

The Best things in life

are knitted.

Well the up side of being off until December 4th is that I am getting my Christmas knitting completed. No pictures yet as that takes more focus than I have yet. I did spend a delightful day knitting at my favorite LYS. Mondays are pretty slow in the way of visitors/knitters so I enjoyed being out of the house without the masses.

It was a beautiful day in the high 60's. But my kind of weather should be coming in any time tonight as a cold front should be here by morning. Master bedroom is on the third floor and with the sunlight was an oven so the a/c was running today, in fact just clicked on. According to the weather channel it is currently 56 outside and by 6 am we should be to 38. Now if snow would come that would be even better.

Have a great Thanksgiving just in case I don't post.

We interupt this life....

for a little surgery.

First you have to understand that I am not a fan of Halloween. I love autumn but Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I did not need any additional reasons not to care for the holiday but I got one. I spent Halloween night in the emergency room of the newest hospital in Salt Lake. If I wasn't in such horrible pain it would have been fun to see it all.

I spent from 6:30 pm until 1130 pm in the ER while they determined what was wrong with me. I had a very sick appendix. So off to surgery I go, (only after they determine that they have everything needed,) While the hospital opened on Monday, ,the OR didn't open until that day. I have never been bumped from a flight but that night I was bumped from surgery twice due to other traumas. I have had two other surgeries prior to this but I have to say this was the worse post op for me. I had wonderful care from the staff but I was really sick this time.

I am now home, doing knitting and trying not to go crazy!!!! I just want it to snow now!! :}

Vacation in the fall colors.

Mr80grit and I took a long vacation up in the mountains at the beginning of the month. We had a great place with a full kitchen and a gas fireplace. We love looking at the view. Here are a few pictures

We had a great time. We even saw a deer. We are planning take a day trip on Monday with my folks for lunch. Mr. NeverHome is taking the day off to join us. It is going to be great fun.

Scarf for Winter

I completed the scarves for Mr Cimmaron. Here they are being modeled by Mr80grit.
They have been shipped and welcomed to their new home
