Christmas Countdown - 2012

Sugar: You work a lot? Is it allowed with 12 hours shift over there?
Take care my friend! =]

Sorry I am just responding to this. Yes, we are allowed to work 12 hours, plus I can actually work up to 16 hours (which is a double shift), but no more than that. That's enough!

Will definitely keep her in my thoughts and prayers!

I gave in at lunch & turned the furnace on - just for a bit, to take the chill out of the air! Our house just felt so chilly!!!! I know...I'm a wimp! :cold: I love the smell of the 1st time the furnace is turned on for the year. :grin:

My sil is having surgery tomorrow morning at 11:00 - a mastectomy - so any prayers would be appreciated. I sure hope & pray it all goes well! She will be going through radiation, 5 days a week for 6 weeks after the surgery. Scary stuff!

Good evening Christmas family !!

A really nice day today ! A little chilly this morning but that is wonderful. We went to Hobby Lobby and bought our tree and it was 40% off !! Also the new Holy Family for my nativity arrived today !! The Season is moving right along and I am so excited !!

The only thing is that the pain and swelling in my left third toe has now spread to my other foot. It is becoming inceasingly difficult to walk. On a pain scale I would say it is 10 out of 10. I don't know what is going on but I am exhausted from being in so much pain. All my doctor seems to want to do is give me drugs. He did order an xray and blood work but that was all normal. SOMETHING has to be causing this.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.

MerryMistletoe - So glad your sister is doing well !!

Take care, Christmas family...xo

Hello World!!!!!!!!

I think (think being the operative term here) that the worst may be over and life will start to return slightly to normal now. This summer has been unreal for work. This is the first weekend I've had off in what seems like forever! We are still missing staff members and I'm still getting home about 7pm after trying to catch up on stuff for which there just isn't enough time in the day to do but wedding season is slowing down now and will only peak again briefly at Christmas before settling down again until Easter when we get to do it all again...........yay!!!!!!!

So, let me bring you up to speed with what's been happening. Bruce finishes his Disneyland Paris contract on Sept 21st. He was offered a full time job but said no as he wants to finish his degree. That said, he's planning on returning at Christmas to work for a couple of weeks. Can't say I'm hugely thrilled at the prospect. He's suggested that we go over and spend Christmas there so I started investigating. From what I've seen, it's going to cost at least £2000 ($3200 approx.) for 4 nights!!!!!!!!!!!! This includes transport but not the kennelling of the hounds because obviously we can't take them with us. So............not going to happen.

Our local amateur dramatic group is putting on The Wizard of Oz at Christmas and I'm stage managing it so that should be fun. Rehearsals have started and I'm trying to persuade them to let Dorothy wear plaid instead of a plain old boring blue pinafore dress!!!!! It can be blue plaid if they're fussy!!!!

Other than that, I'm getting over a bad cold (not as bad, obviously, as Sandy's Man Flu which he had at the same time!) and am barking worse than the dogs. Talking of whom, are both fine. Jacob took a chunk out of one of his front pads so was looking resplendent in an old sock held on with electrical tape until it healed. Didn't help his street cred. one bit!!!!

And I think that's it. I should be around now if anybody wants me!!!

:razz:

Good to hear from you, Mo! Glad to hear your son is doing well.

Good luck with the production. It sounds wonderful!

Do they have their garland 40% off this week as well, again? I never did get in the other week like I wanted to. I don't go back to work until tomorrow night, so maybe I could run there tomorrow.

As for your toe, I agree with you, it sounds more serious then what the doctor is finding. Something has to be causing all the redness, pain, and swelling. Do you think you could get a second opinion or does he have to send you to someone, the way everything is set up? I hope you feel better soon and you can soon get some relief.

Wow you had a really good day!!

I agree with Sugar. It might be time to seek a second opinion on your foot. Maybe you could see if your doctor would send you to a Podiatrist.

Hey everybody! Work is grinding right along and I'm getting closer to daylight. Three more weeks....three more weeks....

Nice cool day here....went to eat with the family and I got the chance to go get a pumpkin spice latte and....

IT. WAS. GOOD. and on the way home...as I was drinking my pumpkin spice latte...

I listened to Christmas music for the first time since last year.

White Christmas....O' Christmas Tree....The First Noel....

almost made me shed a tear....and then I realized...

it's going to be that way for the next four months.

I agree with Made. Maybe you should see a Podiatrist, it has to be so painful to walk. Thinking of you! Hope you get relief & soon. Sending hugs from Har & I!! XO
