Not that I went anywhere. Darn! I wish I went somewhere relaxing last week!
Gosh! First time I skipped blog posting for more than a week!
Why?
Been quite busy! All this huff and puff preparing for the opening of the 1.5 million square foot regional hospital belonging to a non-profit organization that my company also belongs to. Sunday, August 10th was the big opening day! About 122 patients from the old hospital were transferred to the new one. All hands were on deck. The whole operation was surprisingly so organized, with the first transferred patient coming in at 0700. The last patient transferred was around 1500.
I got to the hospital early Sunday at 0630 and put in 4.5 hours of volunteer time on top of my regular work hours Sunday night. I was assigned to the ER post, directing ambulances to the drop dock and escorting walk-in visitors and patients. I had a fun job! But hectic for everyone else.
Then there’s that all function-support for all hospital campuses for 3 days that will end tonight. Very tiring for most people. The compensation to all these activities was the 3-day FREE FOOD!
Now that’s winding down, I can breathe a sigh of relief. And although I have been absent from the blogsphere for over a week, I have been busy trying to finish up the CAP SHAWL. The target finish time is never happening, I’m afraid. I’d say it’s probably another week or so before it’s done, minus blocking time.
At least, the border is coming into shape as seen on photo below.
The 2nd photo shows one panel of the 9-panel circular shawl.
