A Busy Day

 Yesterday was another cloudy day with a burst of sunshine late in the afternoon. The high got to 4C. This morning it is partly cloudy and -2C. Today is suppose to be a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and flurries with a high of 4C. 

Lifestyle

I spent some time in the morning doing more vacuuming with the Dyson. I am amazed how much it picks up off floors that look clean. I also mopped a few floors I had vacuumed and there was little dirt on the pad I used. This is a keeper of a vacuum for me. 

Once done, I was out the door to the quilt shop near me. I bought a meter of green fabric on the right for the next hot pads (and maybe mug rugs). I have .5 meter of the sunflower fabric.

I was also able to get the velcro I wanted and I got a spool of green thread. I looked at purple fabrics and have an idea of what I will buy once I have the bag designed. 

I picked up groceries and was home by 12:30 pm. I also ran across to the neighbour's house to pick up the horse blanket so I can start working on it this afternoon.

After I ate lunch, I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up 90 minutes later and knew I would not be sleeping well last night. 

At 5 pm I was out to pick up grandson from school and off to his house to have dinner. Son and daughter-in-law were using their pizza oven for the first time (gifted in 2022). Though they have a few things to learn, they did an awesome job of baking the pizza. They were delicious. Once done dinner I did some cleaning up in the kitchen leaving only a few pans to wash. We sat and talked on the couch and I was home by 7:30 pm. 

I did not sew or knit yesterday as I was too tired and too busy. 

Thoughts

    Grandson told me that there was snow on the ground from Halifax to about 20 km from home. It then turned to rain. I guess it was a slow drive due to the road conditions being nasty. At the moment, the weather station says snow on Thursday. 

    It was day 3 of no sugar or chocolate for me. I had a tiny spoonful of sorbet last night and it was way too sweet. I am getting over not having sweet foods. My joints are also responding as they are not feeling as sore. I am feeling better in 3 days so will continue having no added sugar and chocolate with only a treat at Christmas. 

Today

I am off to a local craft bazaar this morning. When home I need to do some housework. This afternoon I am going to lay out the horse blanket and start pinning the rips back into place. I may do some tidying up in the family room as I have a mess. Tonight I will knit on the socks. 

Until the next time..........................................................
