Another busy week, but it was ALL good. Work was good, most days
there were two nurses working and we were able to get a lot of things
done. The resident that likes me was weird again, but I chalk that up
to the full moon. I made sure I was never alone with him.
Last Saturday, my sister and I went to Wheeling , WV and saw the Oak
Ridge boys for the thirtieth time. They are always good!
They even sang “Dig” (a little deeper in the well.) And they have a new Christmas CD out called Christmas Cookies.
Wednesday I went to the Writers’ Guild meeting with Mom and it was most
enjoyable. A professor from the local college was there and he
spoke on how to go about getting published. We thought it would
be a real yawner but he was a great speaker. His area of
expertise is medieval literature. (I kinda thought this would be
another yawner) His classes are always full according to one of
his students and she added that the classes are not all girls- in fact,
one has boys outnumbering girls. He told our group he hopes to be
offering creative writing classes next fall and my mother and I hope to
be in one.
I bought a home theater set up for my husband and we watched movies
Thursday. It really does add to the viewing pleasure. Star
Wars is great.
Saturday I took a craft class from one of my long lost friends.
Long lost because I didn’t have time to keep up with the friendship
once I returned to work after my surgery. I realize now what a
great loss that was. I am happy she is forgiving and I can
rectify my mistake. It is so nice to be able to talk to
her. I missed you, Jackie!
I came home from her house and watched the Ohio State game in Arena
sound- better than being there, because I was comfortable and could
play on my computer while watching.
Today I went to Mom and Dad’s with Pizza Oven Pizza, It was heavenly.
This week my husband is off on shut-down. He works as a material
handler at a local factory and they have decided to give some of the
employees a week off for Thanksgiving. Without pay of
course. But Mike has 25 years in and has at least 4 weeks
of paid vacation coming to him. He’s taking one this week.
Thanksgiving I will spend with my parents at my aunt’s house.
Mike doesn’t do holidays and Roger will be celebrating with Ali’s
family. Mom, my aunt and I will go through Granny’s pics and such
and get more material for my craft project. I will take a pic of
it when I am done, in a couple of weeks. On Sunday the 27th my
family will gather at Chicken Manor in Strasburg to celebrate Dad’s
80th birthday. Thank You, Lord. We are gonna give him gifts
that have 80 pieces. My sister has come up with 80 pennies, 80
tootsie rolls etc. So far, all I have thought of is 80
balloons. Actually, my friend Rose, from work came up with
that. Any other suggestions?
Take care, and if I don’t get back Happy Thanksgiving!
