Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 26C (humidex 30C). It rained during the night and it is cloudy and 17C this morning. Today is going to be cloudy with a risk of showers. The high is supposed to get to 19C.
Lifestyle
I started off the morning doing the balance sheet. It balanced and I was quite happy with the expenses considering I went on a trip last week. I put everything away and headed out to get groceries.
The grocery store was not busy so I enjoyed myself shopping. The produce section had huge empty spaces and they were filling them up as fast as they could. I got what I wanted even if I had to go back at the end of my shopping and pick it up. When I got home, I got everything put away and sat to have something to drink.
Later in the afternoon, my friend came over to tell me that she is not going to New Brunswick but will be renting an apartment not too far from where we live. She has a one year lease and next summer she will decide if she wants to go to New Brunswick or stay here. If she goes to New Brunswick she will either rent an apartment or buy a condo. If she stays she will look at either staying in that apartment or finding another place to rent. This is her year to think and decide.
Sewing
I spent time in the sewing room yesterday. I got the quilt half done and I am pleased with it. Wrangling 80 x 40" was quite the feat but I succeeded.
Once it was done, I decided to work on the dress for the rabbit. I watched the video and did the steps for one side of the dress and then the other. I had to watch one step twice as I missed what she did. I pinned one side piece onto the front piece to see what it will look like. Putting the rabbit into the doll stand was a disaster. The doll stand malfunctioned and I had to find the other stand I have. I have no idea what is going on so I will be watching the video once again to see what I am to do next. I know I have to gather the back section of the skirt next. Where I attach it to the bodice is unknown at this moment. An adventure for this afternoon.Knitting
I got the gusset on sock #2 knit last night and am now ready to knit the foot on both socks.
I am going to dig in the yarn bin and pull out the oldest yarn and knit grandson a pair of socks next.
Thoughts
My IBS symptoms flared up again after a period of calmness. I am sure it was the rich food we ate on our trip (which I would do again in a heartbeat). I am going back to some basic eating habits for the next while in hopes it will calm down the symptoms.
I was up after midnight last night and when I opened the back door to look out, it was raining. Not a heavy rain but a nice one that you could hear falling on the deck. Hopefully it will rain again this afternoon as we do need it. We will be having another hot spell later this week.
I feel another funk coming on. It will the Spousal Unit's birthday on Thursday and I know it could be a rough day for me. I need to put one foot in front of the other and do things with hopes that it won't too bad. Sitting around, like my body wants to do, makes me feel worse mentally.
I am planning on working in the front entry this week. I want to clean it, paint one wall that I did patchwork on, and put the baseboards back on. I am hoping it will keep me busy for a few days with a trip to a hardware store for supplies.
Today
My plan is to clean the front entry this morning. This afternoon I want to do some sewing and cooking. Tonight I will knit on the socks. I want to keep busy all day.
Until the next time............................................................
