It's the last day of 2010!

I'm so glad this year is over.  It certainly hasn't been the worst year I've ever had, but it does rank up there fairly high.  I'm determined that 2011 will be a great year.  With God's help, it will happen.

The fibro has been one reason the year was bad.  I've missed quite a bit of work (for me, that is) and I'm constantly at about 12 hours sick leave.  I earn it; I use it. One reason why 2011 will be better is that I told my rheumatologist that I'm tired of the vicodin.  I want to quit taking it and he gave me 2 options.  I've read about both of them and I don't know if one is better than the other. I see him in 2 weeks and I'm actually excited about this visit.  I'm really praying for a big change to happen with the fibro. 

My knitting is going well.  I have been in a few slumps, but got right back into the swing of things.  I've made 2 shawls and want to knit more.  Of course, I've made quite a few socks.  I'm also working on a sweater.....boring, but cute.  My niece just gave birth yesterday to a beautiful daughter. I made 4 pairs of baby socks and a sweater.  They were fun to do.

Work is weird.  That's OK, except I have to work for 8 more years! I don't want to, but I need the higher retirement money.  I suspect that my health will be in charge, tho, and tell me when to quit.

I had much to say, but it's left my mind.  That happens way too often. 

I'm spend my New Year's Eve with Max....my kitty.  I'm watching movies, knitting, doing laundry and checking out the net.  Oops....dryer just buzzed.  Gotta make the bed if I want to sleep tonight!
