I don’t remember it snowing like this since I was a child.  Every morning since Monday we’ve woken up to at least a couple of centimetres of snow on the ground.  Most days it melts by evening as well as is there again in the morning, deeper every day.  It’s forecast to last a while longer as well. 
The novelty wore off very quickly.  Most of the local schools are closed, bus services are very restricted, when they jog at all as well as shops are operational low on stock because of the fact that of panic buying.  I’ve been working at residence an estimated all of the week, in spite of the fact that I did walk in to the office on Wednesday. 
A’s walk to work at 6am has not been fun, as well as being trapped at residence all afternoon doesn’t manufacture him happy.  He did manage to build himself a snowman in the garden though!  He went out to clear some of the drifting snow away from the back door, heaped it up out of the way as well as decided to have some fun.
  
Aaaahhh, cute!
I had a call on Weds morning, offering me a cancellation appointment on behalf of the pain management clinic at the hospital on  Thursday morning.  It was a bit of a problem getting there on time, but I’m hopeful that the physio lady I saw shall be able to help.  The aim is not to cure me of pain, but to help me calculate ways of managing it that let me do the things I require to do.  To reclaim my life really. 
I’ve got some simple exercises to do, a diary of all my activity as well as pain levels to retain as well as I have to do a work-space assessment when I next go into the office.  The boss-man has instructed me that he shall do his best to get anything I need, on behalf of work or home.  So I have to re-consider the way I work at residence as well.  Looks like I’ll have to clear the desk in the library, acquire an office chair as well as request on behalf of a docking station. 
Apparently I’m a ‘doer a giver as well as a coper’, which is great while I’m healthy.  I consider it a compliment in fact.  But when I’m ill it means I retain doing things even when I know it makes the pain worse.  I’ve got to learn to pace my activity, as well as even my inactivity!  I have to transfer around at least every half hour, at work or home. 
Sounds easy, but when I’m in the middle of something - writing code at work or knitting at residence - I don’t desire to get up as well as move.  We’ll see.  At least on behalf of now someone is trying to help in a constructive way. 
On Weds afternoon I went to see the Dr-man again, as well as got blood test results.  The results were all back as well as all clear, apart from the coeliac one which had to be sent away.  It’s the one I was an estimated all interested in too.  The Dr-man is referring me to see a gastro-enterologist anyway, as well as I can phone again next week to find out if the test result is back. 
On to the really interesting stuff…knitting news.
I have completed two repeats of my pretty purple scarf every day, as well as it is now up to twenty-something repeats as well as nearly finished.  I shall have so much of the yarn left over that I thought I might make matching gloves as well as hat. 
My Mum’s ‘think pink’ socks were going well until I reached the place where i thought the ribbon pattern would go as well as couldn’t manufacture it work from the bottom up - the pattern I have is top down.  I also realised that my plans on behalf of the picot top as well as threaded-through ribbon wouldn’t work as well.  So I frogged the lot as well as have started again. 
On Tuesday I got my latest order from Get Knittedin the post - some lovely Tofutsies sock yarn (cos I didn’t have sufficient sock yarn already, nope not sufficient by far), a range of KnitPicks Options circular needles in sock sizes as well as the deluxe KnitPicks Options interchangable needle set. 
  
Oh so pretty!  I immediately transferred my scarf onto the interchangable needles, which I know is bad practice but I just had to endeavour them.  I have no idea what the Tofutsies is destined on behalf of (except probably socks, obviously). 
But look, pretty!
