Another midnight shift

I am working another midnight shift and am struggling to stay awake so I decided to make an entry in my ever so neglected blog.

My hubby has been away since Sept with a brief return in Dec. (but his brief return was way to short). I decided that before he left I would keep myself busy so maybe the time would pass faster and that maybe I could deal with our latest miscarriage a little easier. Well, that worked for a while but it caught up with me and I am now paying for it. We are finally on the down hill slope to his return and although I am not ready to start counting the days until his return - I can't wait to see him again.

His being away would be so much easier if I has some support. It is very funny how every member of your family says they are there for you but you never hear from them while you are home alone.

Christmas was hell as pretty much any day without my hubby is pretty hellish.

The dogs have been my only support and while I wouldn't trade them It would be nice if things were different.

I have been doing lots of knitting and have happily joined "Ravelry" and have posted my projects there. I am discovering the advantages of Ravelry and it has helped me inventory mu hooks, needles, yarn, magazines and books. It has also helped me reduce my needle and hook stash tremendiously. This also helps me justify buying more Addi needles. I hope to eventually switch all my needles to Addi.

I have also redone my laundry/knitting room and I absolutly love it. I forgot to take before pictures as it would have been nice to show the before and after of the room. When I am done the room I wil take pictures.

I have been having a very very hard time getting a plumber to come over. I could do most of the work by myself but the rest I would need to have some help with.

The first plumber is a young guy who is undergoing cancer treatments and after him saying that he wanted to do the work I couldn't get him to call me back.

The second guy I contacted said he would do the work (I told him I wanted it done before the 15th of FEB.) He said it wouldn't be a problem but here it is March 2 and the work still isn't done. I don't really want to get a different plumber because I do completely trust these guys and I would rather wait for one of then than to have someone I don't know come over.

I have signed up with the Clutter Crew on the Oprah website to get rid of some of the crap in our house. I have been working steadily at it and I am surprised at the amount of stuff to get rid of.

I had more tests done just after my hubby left again to see if there was a medical reason why I had 2 miscarriages but everything looks like it is working properly so we will fill out adoption papers when Brian gets here and procede with trying again. We will see whaty happens but I kind of have a feeling that nothing is going to happen. Maybe that feeling is mostly frustration but I still have the feeling.

I don't really have time to blog at home so I guess here at work on a midnight shift is the best place to get this done.

See you next midnight shift!
