Surgery, math and other random stuff

Wow, it's been busy around here! Well, I suppose not too busy compared to some people I know, but busy for us. :)

Last Saturday, something terrible happened. My phone screen shattered. And I mean shattered. It was terrible. No one knows what happened. I had only used it once that day, set it face down on the counter, and continued with the day. Well, later on I picked it up because I was going to take it with me to the store, and the screen was busted. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how it happened, but the only thing I can think of is that people weren't paying attention and put dishes on it after breakfast. They were all piled up in that area, so that's the only explanation I can think of. Anyway, yesterday Dad and I took it to the Apple store to get it fixed, and we got my iPad fixed too (It was cracked because my uncle accidentally stepped on it about 2 months ago). The only problem was I actually ended up with new devices, so I've been having to get all my stuff on both of them. I can get back everything except my texts are gone, my contacts are gone (Rachel, please text me so I get your number again!!!!), and my notes are gone. The notes aren't a big deal, most of them were just ideas for new blanket combinations, and I remember most of them. The only major deal is that I lost my notes for my custom sizes. I kept track of all the blankets I've made, how to make them, and how much I've charged for them. I texted them to myself, because I think if I remember correctly they weren't wanting to email, and then I lost my texts. :( So my sizes are lost unfortunately. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. The only other thing I really lost is certain pictures of Danielle when she was little. Most of them are on the blog or Instagram, but there are certain ones I just couldn't bring myself to delete because she's so cute. :) I wanted to back everything up into iTunes, but it's not on the laptop anymore (long story). Ok, I'm done rambling about my phone now. It's fixed, and that's all that matters.

I've had my blankets on sale for awhile now, which has been nice. I had put them on sale recently, but then took them off, and then I decided to put them back on again. Mostly it's just because I have money to buy the stuff I need, but there are certain things I want to get but I can't because I don't have money for them. Like there are tons of new blankets I want to make, but don't have the money to buy the yarn for them. Oh well. I'm doing ok now. I just had a custom order this morning (light pink and light gray ripple), and I have another one that I'll set up on Friday once the lady gets payed. I love doing custom stuff. :) :)

I've really been focused on finishing school now that I've finally started 12th grade, and my parents made it so much easier for me. First they said that I didn't have to do Pre-Calculus since Calculus is a college course, and I don't have any intentions of going to college, but then they said this week I don't have to do Algebra 2 either!!!! Yay! So all I have to do is finish Geometry and I'm done with math! Yay! I'm hoping to graduate in February, but we'll see. I probably could graduate earlier, but with it being my last year of school, I don't want to rush too much. Plus I only do school 4 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) since I'm gone on Tuesday and Thursday, so I already have more to do as it is. I'm so close to being done I could taste it! I still love school, but I am anxious to be done. :)

My aunt has had major problems with her back for years, and Tuesday she finally had surgery so they could put some rods in her back. The surgery went well I hear. Apparently the doctor said she must have been in lots of pain because I guess there was a lot messed up back there. Anyway, she's coming home today, and then tomorrow I'm going to be with her. She's going to need someone with her at all times for up to 2 weeks I guess. Hannah and I are going to rotate helping her. I'll go tomorrow, be there Friday, then Hannah'll be with her Saturday and Sunday. After that I don't know. :) To everyone from church, thank you all so much for your prayers for Aunt Tracy! I know she and Uncle Robert really appreciate them. :)

Oh, one more thing. Thank you all for your prayers about the situation with Dad's customer. I decided I really don't have much of a choice but to make them, which I am. It really isn't that big of a deal in retrospect, it's just a pain because I don't really have that much time to make them. But, I suppose I'll figure it out. :)

Ok, I suppose that's all for now. I've got to finish working on a blanket, and then I've got to figure out what I'm taking with me tomorrow. :)
