Spending time tonight trying to copy files from my moldy oldy laptop. So far, no such luck. XP and Windows 7 aren't that compatible. Thank you Microsoft.
Other happier topics: BYU 57 UNLV 7. At last, the Cougars put a complete game together.
Utes 7 TCU 47. Um, what a wipeout. The Utes are exposed for the posers they are. Go TCU to the title game.
I started stitching a Christmas ornament for an ornament exchange on Friday, Dec 7. Very pretty and classic. (I'll post the picture after the exchange.) I should finish it this week, then I can get on with the other stitching I am going to do for Christmas.
I have figured out gifts for Christmas for everyone. woo hoo. Now, just to finish them by Dec 25.
This is a short work week, I have Friday off. It's going to be hard to go back to regular vacation time next year.
Well, back to nerd-city.
P.S. I added labels to the posts I haven't labeled yet. I now have a sticky note to remind me to put labels on my posts. Like I said, such a nerd.

Today
I changed the background. It makes me smile and is seasonal.
Let's see, good news first. I went to the doctor today and I have lost 13 more pounds. That is 23 pounds since Thanksgiving. Woo hoo! I wouldn't recommend the hospital to get started, but it was a good kick starter.
Bad news is that my lungs aren't much better. Boo, hiss. I had a chest x-ray today and the lungs are a little clearer, but not much since the first x-ray on Dec 3. I'm a bit discouraged. The doctor also ran a spirometry test. That is where the patient blows into a tube. Take a deep breath and exhale as hard and fast as you can, then hold that breath. For as long as you can. I'm not very good at it. The results are that something is at 44%, and I didn't reach a level for long enough on a graph. (I'm not technical.) Bottom line is I am seeing a pulmonologist tomorrow.
So I am rather discouraged. I'm not cleared for work and I still can't drive.
My nice brother Scott took me on a field trip today because I have cabin fever. I went to the dentist to have a suture removed. I also made an appointment for Wednesday to replace a crown. Ka-ching. We picked up my x-rays and filled some prescriptions. I found a red pajama top to match my pink/white/red pajama bottoms. I also bought some new pink fluffy booties. I have a sleep study Wednesday night, so needed something to wear during the sleep study.
And hopefully that means my c-pap will be on the way soon.
The other good news is that I finally feel like being crafty. Here are the booties I am knitting. I'm going to try and tat the edging. Actually I'm still trying to decide.
Then I am going to finish this stocking. I finally found some good directions on how to turn the heel with a different color of yarn. I'm not happy with the stocking the way it is, so I am going to knit it again, with a different yarn and smaller needles. But not for awhile. This picture is a picture of the stocking that someone else knitted. I'll post a picture as soon as I finish it.
And the medical bills are pouring in. Thank goodness I have great insurance. And a medical savings account. I have a $2500 maximum out of pocket, and will easily meet that. The amount for the bills so far is about $53,000.00. Gulp. And I still haven't received many of the doctors bills.
OK, I'm done for the day. Wish me luck tomorrow at the pulmonologist. I feel pretty good. Good night.

I'm back!
I'm going to try and enter something each day. I've been crazy busy, but it is nice to look back and see what has gone on.
New projects:
Christmas stocking - Fair Isle. Cute!!! Chunky yarn, so it is going fast. I am turning the heel. I couldn't quite remember how, so I researched. Ha. There is a youtube video on it. 5 minutes later, I'm like, yeah, now I remember. I hope to have the stocking done this week, so I can go onto....
Beaded Christmas ornament covers. I am bartering/trading for a couple of dolls from a friend. I am making beaded ornament covers. I'm almost finished with the third one, I'd like to make a dozen. Her colors are purple and silver. Here is an example:
