Stock taking
Where has the month of October gone?!? Gary has been working mega overtime getting ready for stocktake. He goes in at 7 am and hasn't been getting home before at least 8 pm every night, and then going in for 4 or more hours a day on the weekend. He has opted to take some days off and then get paid out for the rest. He is asking for a week just incase I might need a ride to a gtg this spring *S* Isn't he a great guy*S* I went in one evening last week and then started Tuesday this week going in till about 9 pm. Tonight I will go right after daycare and we will be there till 11 pm and then back at 8 am and stay till we are finished. We are usually done about supper time. Things are going pretty well so we might even get out of there a bit earlier this year. I keep adding up my hours and figuring out what my cheque will be and thinking what kinds of yarn I can buy with it when we get together *S*
I haven't had a whole lot of hours in the day to knit but have been plugging away at a WW. It is getting there, just slowly. I will probably cast on the one for Rawley next as I will have to have it done so it can go in the mail for Christmas. Will certainly seem strange and will be sad not having Ryan her for Christmas, but I guess as they grow up, and spread their wings you have to learn to let go. Trying to think of what we might do for Christmas this year but so far haven't made any concrete plans. We usually go to my dad's and then my brother, sister in law, and nephews come in for the day. I would like to do something a bit different this year though, my brother always has Christmas Eve with his wife's family and they have their HUGE meal late that night and then sit up partying till the wee hours. Then one member of the family always has them up before the crack of dawn and they spend the morning and afternoon openning gifts, eating etc and then they show up at my Dad's all tired and grumpy! LOL!!! I know Gary would really like to just stay at home this year, invite my dad to come down either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Nora would be more than welcome to come too and my brother could come too if they wanted too. It would be SO MUCH easier for me to to make the meal in my own home where I have well stocked cupboards instead of at my Dad's. Time will tell what we end up doing I guess.
