The Past Month

A month since I've posted?  Sheesh.  I've been busy, I know, but somehow the past month just got away from me!

So, what's been happening?  High on the list of things that have happened is that my long-time friend and supervisor at work retired.  We'd worked together for 24 years, so that was hard.  I'm very happy for her, of course, and that helps keep me from feeling too sorry for myself.  :-)

So for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century I have a new supervisor.  Luckily, she seems very capable and very nice.

I've also been knitting (no surprise there) and for the first time this year have been able to take off a couple of days.  I took the Friday before Labor Day, then took Monday of last week.  I'm also going to be off tomorrow and Tuesday.  It's a really nice change, and I'm beginning to catch up on my rest finally.

The computer conversion at work isn't improving at all, unfortunately.  The new system is broken, and the powers-that-be are apparently unable or unwilling to admit that it's broken.  It's quite discouraging....in fact, so much so that I'm going to try to just not think about it for the next couple of days.

So what do I plan to do with the rest of this glorious Sunday?  I'm currently watching the Sopranos and as soon as I finish this post, I'll pick up the sweater I'm knitting and add a few rows to it.

Then I'll do a few household chores I didn't finish yesterday, knit a bit more, and get ready for a little trip to Pigeon Forge with Mom and Dad tomorrow.  Fun!

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
