Month of sickness and crazyness

My two favorites: Johannes and Asdis
That is October. The first two weeks of October were crazy. I started to work at http://www.hss.is/ and was still working for Marel. I promised to release Marel's product catalog for quarter 4 of this year. That took 46 hours of work. I only had time to work after the children were asleep in the evening and on the weekends. I was so glad when this was over, October 17th.

After that the sickness took over. Or actually my father started his heart surgery preperation in the beginning of October. He was put in the hospital because his blood pressure was 120/200 - much too high. Then my grandmother got sick ( mother's mom). She has cancer and she got really sick... was hospitalized and is still in the hospital. It is pretty convenient to have her at the same place I work at. I visit her every day and hold her hand. She seems to be getting better now. We still have no results from all the tests she has had.

Then it was my dad...He has been heartsick for the past 4 years. Finally he got the approval to have a heart surgery where they fixed him. He had that surgery last Monday. Now he is in the hospital recovering. He is still very sick, has fever and it is really hard on him. I am praying for him and am really worried. But I don´t want to write so much about it.

My new job is wonderful. I simply love it. I love being back into the computer field. I love running around the hospital and helping the staff with their computers. I am learning a whole lot too and I feel I also have a lot to give and share. So I feel like I am in a place where I will be happy for many many years to come.

Iceland and it being bankrupt. I have so little to say about that. Joi and I have no debts, we own our car and we rent our place. So this won´t affect us as much as many people. Of course food and clothes and all kinds of things will get more expensive. Hopefully we will have enough for us to eat and buy gas on the car. We own everything and we don´t really need anything....So we will be ok. We won´t travel overseas though... that is sad. But hopefully not for many many years. We shall see.

Well. My son is sick today. Just like his grandfather - with a fever of 40°Celcius. I am going to lay down besides him and cuddle up with him. Let him feel that mom is close to him and protecting him. I am sending you all much love and piece. Please pray for my dad and that he will be ok. Much love, Gunna Sigga

hæ hæ
takk fyrir kommentið á síðunni minni - er eiginlega hættur að blogga þarna og annarsstaðar þar sem "enginn les þetta" hehehe - hef allavega engin viðbrögð fengið lengi svo ég hef ekkert verið að skrifa mikið ;)
