Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement No New Stash this time. 
I finished some stuff, and started a few things.
We had a wonderful Christmas. Ted and I exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve, then  Christmas day was at Teds sons with all the kids and grandkids. The weather was great and the kids played outside most of day. It was a few hours of gifts being opened, great food and fun.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement  I fell down and bought some more yarn.
Some of it was a Christmas present so it doesn't count. 
After last podcast, a kind viewer offered to finish my Eyeball Shawl, so I sent it to her. I was so shocked and excited that someone would do that for me, and I am so grateful for the offer. I want it but I was just done trying to knit it. It doesn't matter when it comes back, it will just be a very wonderful gift when it comes back.
  I got to see my sister and her family over this past weekend. It was our annual Girls Day Out weekend for Christmas shopping and Hallmark Movie watching. Had  4 day weekend that was much needed, and Ted was  successfully independent for 2 nights.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I have some stash coming, for the Rug Sweater.
Over the last 2 weeks I have finished a languishing wip from last years Pink along, pulled another Languishing wip back into rotation, and worked on 2 other projects.

Things a changing with my work, and Medicare changes. Because of that I will be getting a cut in pay. I have been with company for 11 yrs, and my pay is going back to my starting wage. Because of the changes in Medicare reimbursement a lot of companies are lying off employees, and the job market is not open.  But I believe in God, That He is Good all the Time and that He will make a way where there is none, And I hold to the Promise that He will supply all my needs, according to his riches in glory.
Ted is steady. He has had a setback. Having a lot of pain in his back, so his therapy is on hold right now, had a MRI today. I believe it is more tone related to the stroke. So we would thank you so much for your thought and prayer on these things.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I have done a lot of finishing since i last podcast. I have also stashed some stuff.
On wednesday this week i had my loop recorded removed, yah, but am little tender. I also got a hair cut yesterday if you haven't noticed, I am going nature. It is little unnerving, but, I am tired of chasing the gray away. It has been 40 years since i was natural. I kind of curious to see what is under the color.
Last weekend my computer died. That is why podcast is a day late.
Today is Apple Day in our house. Ted and I ventured out at 430 this morning to go to Apple store. It was a great experience, we were first in line,. Ted got the new phone and I got a new computer. It is lovely and one of my favorite stashes.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement
Got some Stash, and some more is coming. I had a couple squirrel moments where I got distracted by a project that I wanted to do, started and didn't like or it just was to big or I made mistakes in pattern, both were crochet projects. Did more uncrocheting then actual crocheting.
Ted had a Heart Cath and 2 stents placed in heart on Monday, came home on Tuesday with some restrictions for a few days. He is back to normal and feels the difference in his endurance. So we keep moving forward.
