Oh the weather outside is frightful.......

Well I can't believe it....here we are at the beginning of another week.....and another week closer to the big day......Christmas!!!!

The weather has been cooling off and today as I type this we are getting our first snowfall of the season. It's funny how snow really gets you into the spirit of Christmas. I use to have a rule in the house...no Christmas music until December 1st....but you know what.....with the snowfall this afternoon, I just couldn't help myself.....yup....I played a whole bunch of Christmas tunes. You know what else I did.....I made hot mulled apple juice.....yummy....and it smells so good and festive. Hubby has been working outside all day so he very much appreciated coming in to the smells of the mulled juice.

I got my Christmas cards done last evening....so those will be off into the post by the end of the week. Had a doctor's appointment today so did a little Christmas shopping while I was in town.

I have been off work since last week due to a shoulder injury I incurred as a result of a patient transfer. Even with three of us transferring this patient and using a lift I still managed to hurt my scapulae and shoulder. It's feeling much better than it did last week, but the doctor wants me to do some physiotherapy this week and then I think I should be ready for work by next week. So with not working this past week I have been able to get a good start on Christmas. This coming weekend I am hoping to get my decorations out and maybe get a start on some baking.

Hubby is working like crazy....he's doing to much with that terrible arm and shoulder of his....sometimes he just amazes me as to what he can do.....I can hardly wait to see what he can do after his recovery from surgery. I think that is what has put the fire under him. He knows his surgery is in a couple of weeks and wants to get as much done before hand as he knows he is not to do anything....and we mean anything for the first couple of weeks. The first week they told us that I would have to bath him as he isn't even allowed to raise his arm. So this is all going to be very interesting. Lucky for him I am a nurse....actually he has always been very appreciative of having a nurse around....my poor accident prone hubby....actually I don't know if he is accident prone or if he is just a risk taker....what ever the reason he has certainly had is fair share of injuries. I think he has been injured since I have known him.

When we first met he was recovering from a motorcycle accident in which he tore his tri and bicep muscles.....he finally recovered from that only to have a quad accident.....recovered from that and then got hit by a car....never recovered from that....and hence the surgery and with his dislocation of the shoulder while we were in Mexico that kinda expedited things a bit. So here we are, finally we can see light at the end of the tunnel and it is wonderful.

As far as the fog I was experiencing last week....still not sure I have figured that out...but just so you know....while I was out on my run I realized that I could take a later ferry which meant I could go to hubbies appointment, take him home....and catch the ferry to see my girls. I spoke with my girlfriend and we are going to exchange calendars and hopefully get together in January.

My course is finished next week....I can't believe it...it went by so fast. I start another one in December and then another in January....so I will be busy....but it will all be worth it in the end.

Anyhow, I promise to get around to saying hi to you all very soon. Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my last post. I know I sounded down....I was....but it all worked out in the end.

Cheers!!!
