Not quite the end of the year I was expecting…

I was ready to come back this week and brag about the great crafty Christmas presents I got (Harmony interchangeable knitting needle set and a sewing machine) and the quick trip to visit family on Boxing Day, but….

My husband had a small and thankfully not life-threatening medical emergency that led to a trip to ER and having to stay in the hospital for a minor operation. I picked him up a few hours ago and he is now taking a nap on the couch. So of course all New Year’s Eve plans are off, dinner reservations are cancelled, and a night in jammies is on the agenda. I didn’t get any sleep whatsoever last night, so I’m not even sure I’ll make it to midnight!

Happily, I got some new yarn in the mail today for a sweater I’m knitting for myself. I’m going to do a few chores around the house, do the last bit of 2008 accounting, and try to figure out something to make for dinner tonight and tomorrow since grocery shopping and everything else was forgotten (and the stores aren’t open again until Friday morning), and then settle down on the couch and start swatching. There’s a good side to everything.

Here’s wishing everyone a happy and healthy start to 2009!!
