We've got it all now

now he's got the 2nd job offer for Chile.

And of course it's all in a different format. So we will be sitting down with pencils, notepads and calculators this weekend, I guess.

I think this means we're really going.

oh boogers.

i knew that i had screwed up the increases on the february sweater. but today, i really looked at them, and of the 4 sets of increases, only one is done right. the increases shift on all the other three.

so, do I frog it? or do I carry on and just keep it as a wear around the house cardi?

I'm three balls in, in the middle of the last increase row.  and the first mistake is on about the 10th ridge. that's way back in the middle of the first ball.

i've not even finished the yoke yet, so there's a lot of knitting left to do. it doesn't help that the cable on my needles separated today and i spent ages picking the stitches all back up.  aaargh.

maybe I should do something else instead..

Avent pump anyone?

while in the closet looking for a jeans pattern (which i didn't find, dammit) I came across a bag with my avent pump, sundry bits and pieces of avent bottles including the bag in bottle type, with some of the bags too. like a whole box and a half...

i never used it much, obviously!

anyone want it before I freecycle it?

it's all about the patient, my arse.

my healthcare at home nurse called me today. she understood that i had requested thursday at 2pm. I had done no such thing, I had been told that I had to have thursday because wednesday, which is my day, was too busy, and 2pm was what was suggested to me so I just took it, and figured that I maybe woulnd't try and farm the boys out because there's a chance that Bill might be home by then.

anyway, the nurse on the phone kept saying it was all about convenience and what suited me, but then said she might have to come closer to midday and wouldn't that be better for me. well, no. actually, i've been planning on 2. but my guess is that i will be her last call that day and she wants to finish earlier. i can't argue. but i'm pissed off about being jerked around. so i haven't made any arrangement for the boys, so now they will be here. the nurse isnt' bothered, but well, it's not about her, is it? i didn't bother to warn her that i can reguarly take 3 needles to get a vein, and I don't want my kids watching that. so i will have to sort the telly in playroom out so that i can put them in front of that at least until the needle is in.

i have askwd her if the rest of my appointments can go back to being wednesday, not least becasue i have it written in my diary and on the kitchen calendar, every third wednesday. i just assumed the would work to my schedule, because you know, healthcare at home is all about the patient's convenience. my arse.

and i have to then sit here with a stranger in my house for over two hours. maybe going to the ward isn't suc h a bad thing after all.
