Some things are just no fun! Two badly infected root canals—no fun. Dental surgery—no fun. More procedures next week—no fun. Recovering by curling up in a big recliner
with two dogs and knitting non-stop for days because you have a good excuse to
do so—priceless!! That pretty much
describes my week and at least I can say that it is getting better, just in
time for more of the same. I hate dental
work but I love my teeth!
In the spirit
of doing what I want to do at this time, I am throwing in photos that have
nothing to do with the content of this post.
Now that IS fun!!
It’s no fun to have to find dates
when all of the working nurses and the firefighter can be together for
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Throw in
granddaughter’s 18th birthday and three sons’ December birthdays and
it caused multiple calendars to be crumpled up and thrown in the trash at our
weekend family meeting. I think we
finally hit on some dates though.
Birthdays will only be delayed by a week and a half, Thanksgiving will
be on the 30th and Christmas will be Christmas Eve evening to make
allowances for the half day on the 24th workers. I said, “Great! We can sleep in on Christmas morning,” and
they all threw the crumpled calendars at me.
I amended that to say that Dad and I can sleep on Christmas morning!
Macy says, "Could you drop one of those burgers right here?"
My husband and I are among an elite
and growing group that is having no fun at this time. Our health insurance was cancelled! I will not go into right or wrong, or
promises not kept but I have to say this sucks and I would like to have a face
to face conversation with a person of influence about the situation. DH and I have worked well past retirement age
and the primary reason is to pay for excellent health insurance so our kids
don’t have to worry about us. No one can
say that our policy was sub-standard as a reason for cancellation because we
have not paid even a co-pay for anything from a craniotomy to a rash in 20
years. I really resent the government
messing up something that I have worked so hard to achieve!! BUT—we will pick ourselves up and fix it and
refuse to let the turkeys get us down!!
Enough rant because…
Life is good.

Yikes, you have a LOT going on in your life. Here's hoping all the obstacles can be cleared off of the road soon.
Love all your knitting projects - they are a good distraction that the world is throwing at you.
Glad to hear that you were able to find a date for your family celebrations. Enjoy them because life with family is, indeed, good.
Prayers abound... and now, I'm scared. I signed us up for the new group health with my new employer. I have a dental card as of today, and a little tri-fold thingee telling me about my health benefits, but with the Knight's history, I won't have any sense of security until the cards are in my hands.
I hope your situation is rectified without great incident.
Glad you found time to celebrate the important things.
