We are decorated...

I've been sick so my husband brought it all in the house and got the tree ready to decorate. That's all I had to do. I do miss the old house but with the kids out on their own it was just way too much house for us to keep. It was awesome to have while the kids were growing up in and while holiday's do make me sentimental for it this place really does fit the two of us much better. And since it's half the size of the other it's much easier and cheaper to heat.

"Peace on Earth, good will to all..."

Holy..... !!

I think I'll just quit my job and crochet Baby Yodas! I'm really curious if she'll get it. I did manage to buy the pattern before Disney shut down her sales. :) I get it... trademark and all but fan art is fan art. She should have offered it for free and requested donations for it's distribution. I can't wait to finish this guy.

Where have I been?

Getting over surgery. :) Yep, it's been fun... and painful. I've had arthritis since a teenager and both knees are bad. I finally found someone who would perform a total knee replacement which wasn't easy since my gp didn't want to refer me due to my age and the idea that I could end up needing a second after I'm through my 50's. But finally, the knee that was at its worst point has been replaced and I'll tell you.. everyone who's had it done said it was the best decision they ever made. What they didn't tell me was that its the most painful surgery/recovery you can have. I'm assuming that the majority were people who were already retired and had all the free time in the world. Me.. not so much. I'm working full time so to add that stress on top of the pain, pain pills (which are both a blessing and a curse) and general misery made it that much more difficult.

I had no idea the recovery time would take over 4 months to a year. Not fun. I'm really going to have to plan better when I finally have my other knee done. :)
