We're still here

Well, the scary weather forecasts were right, and if I look out my back window, I see snow that is up to the tops of the 5' tiki torches around our back deck. I'm trying to not look, because frankly that's just too damn much snow.

So, happy thoughts. Sunday is a new week and that calls for new perspective, so I wll take a moment to review happy things from last week:

1. I got a raise at work, and assurances that they LOVE me and never ever want me to leave. Which is nice, because things are finally getting to a point where I can't really see wanting to leave, not for a good long time anyway.
   
2. Had a lovely knitting lunch on Friday with Nancy and Kathy and Carol. Kathy is moving to Ottawa, her hubby just recently took a job at my company, so this was a "welcome-to-town" informative lunch. Nancy got a new job (yay!) and Carol finished her 2nd-ever project (1st ever FINISHED), and I worked on mom's Tequila Sunrise sock #2. A great lunch.
3. Peter, also on the work front, has been told that he's in line for a promotion of sorts (change of run from local to daily linehaul) as soon as they can get the logistics of it worked out. They LOVE him there too.
4. Leftover news - my niece is going on an archeological dig this summer in England. Hadrian's Wall! I'm beyond jealous and so very very proud of her. She's 20 and knows what she wants to do with her life. Who has that kind of certainty at that age these days?

Other happy things... ok, I admit it, I ran out. It was a rough week and today is the time change so I'm an hour less well-slept than usual. However, I get to spend all day with my hubby and that is always a happy thing!

I need to finish the 2nd Tequila Sunrise sock by the end of this week to stay on schedule - I'm almost back at the heel turning so this should not be too difficult to manage. Then on to boot sock #2!

Happy Sunday everyone.
