Yesterday was cloudy though the weather app called it foggy. It rained in the afternoon but we didn't have the freezing rain like forecasted. The high got to 5C. This morning it is cloudy and 3C. Today is suppose to be cloudy with drizzle and rain tonight. The high is to get to 10C.
Lifestyle
I spent the morning in the kitchen. I pulled out the fridge and unplugged it to defrost. I found out via YouTube how to remove the freezer shelf and drawer. I put towels into the freezer and left it for the day to thaw.
I spent the rest of the morning cleaning the kitchen. It was nice to wipe down all the surfaces, shine the appliances and have it neat and clean. While I was doing all of this, I cleaned the fridge inside and out. I was not able to do the floor as the fridge was out of its place. A job for today.
Late in the afternoon, I checked the fridge and it had defrosted. I got the wet towels out of the freezer and into the washer. I put the drawer and shelf back into the fridge, plugged it in, and put it back into its place. By 8 pm it was down to temperature. No noises from it all night. It is ready to put everything back into it today.
My hip was a trooper yesterday. It barely hurt. Even the muscles weren't as sore. I stood for long periods of time with no problems. The last crack I had seated the SI joint. I know that both physio and osteo will be working on tight muscles. I can feel them at times. Two weeks of pain has had them tighten up again. But, I am grateful that I can move around like I had been.
Sewing
I spent a bit of time making daughter another 4 meters of piping. This one is cute as I found a stripe fabric that I wanted to make piping from.
I also swept the floor in that area and under the fabric shelf. Next up I sorted through the quilting cottons getting them organized. I have a lot of Christmas fabrics to sew.
Though the shelf is not full like it was, the majority of the fabric is Christmas prints. I will start working on it Jan. 1.
I had a bit of extra time so I sat down at the clean coffee table and added a 1/4" seam allowance to Luna Lapin's head and ears. It is now ready to print onto cardboard and trace onto the fabric.
I am ready to start making her. I am watching the video on how to make her. This rabbit is going to be a slow sew as I want to enjoy the process.
Knitting
I knit on the sweater last night and am caught up to where I had to unknit the night before. It is coming along and I have about 5" left to knit before casting off.
Thoughts
With my SI joint back in place I am able to do most everything I want to once again. I am amazed that it took 2 weeks to get back to normal. A very long time with a lot of pain. I am able to do most everything once again which is wonderful.
When I put all the food into the downstairs' freezer, I realized that I need to stop buying and start using up what I have. I put Chef's Plate on hold for now. I will be buying only what I need and using up what I have. This week I need a loaf of bread, some fresh fruit, and some items for lunch. I have everything else in the freezer to make my own dinners.
I am sewing items that I had put onto the cutting table. I pick something and make it. It has been fun to make items that I had put aside for Christmas and get back to finishing them.
Today
My goal is to bring up the Christmas tub and start putting away Christmas and bring out the winter placemats. I will be sad to have the cardinals go away but know they will be out again next year. I am going to spend some time making a Halloween wall hanging so that project can be cleaned up. I want to knit tonight. Today is a stay at home day as I need nothing.
Until the next time................................................................
