Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 0C. This morning it is cloudy and 1C. Today is suppose to be snowy with a high of 1C. The temperature is suppose to fall today and be cold once again.
Lifestyle
I was out the door to walk at the arena first thing. I did 8 laps while daughter-in-law did 10 laps. I slowed my pace a bit but it still was in the vigorous range. I know if I had stopped for a few minutes at the end of lap 8 I could have done one more lap.
Once home, I grabbed the shovel and cleaned off the driveway. I was out there for 13 minutes and I was impressed that I had it done without any issues. I enjoyed the pace and the fresh air.
I had a rest and a cup of coffee when I went in. I did a few things and then headed out to do a few things on my list. I am set for the next 2 days of snow.
My Chef's Plate came yesterday before noon. I have two bowls to make for meals this week. I have cancelled my subscription for now as I am going to do some meal planning and use up what I have in the freezer. I need to do a brain dump on ideas and get going. I know that I enjoy having homemade soups for lunch in the winter and now need to figure out what I want for dinners in smaller quantities. I also have the recipes I can make again. There were a few I did enjoy.
I was over to my friends for a visit. We had a great discussion on how well we have been buying Canadian produced foods in the past year. We both had to admit it is very easy to buy it here in Nova Scotia. It is well marked, especially vegetables produced in the province. We also looked at other food items we buy and most are Canadian produced. The grocery store we buy at makes it easy for us. It was a fun challenge we set for ourselves.
Sewing
I spent a lot of time threading my serger yesterday afternoon. One thread broke while rethreading it. I will have to say that it was a frustrating job but I got it done. It took quite a while to get it done properly. I serged the princess seams on the front of the shirt. I can now start planning the embroidery for the front.
I also added the 1/4" seam allowances to the rabbit's body. That was easy compared to threading the serger. I am ready to print it onto card stock and start cutting out and sewing the pieces together.
Knitting
I did not knit last night as I was really tired. I could barely stay awake.
Thoughts
My Fitbit stated that I went to bed an hour later than normal. Not so. I also did not have a lot of deep sleep which I needed. I will be monitoring myself today to make sure that I am not exhausted.
The snow is supposed to arrive mid morning and last until late afternoon and then we could get more tonight. I will be monitoring how much falls and will be out shovelling snow when necessary. We have more snow falling tomorrow so I will be outside in the cold shovelling quite a bit.
I worked some on the family tree yesterday. I limited my time to just adding information and not searching. I am trying to do a bit each day and have a time limit set so I don't spend all day searching.
Today
I have to do yoga this morning and clean up the kitchen. I will do a brain dump on planning also. I also want to do a few minutes of genealogy. I will have to shovel snow during the day. I hope to work on the embroidery for the shirt and cut out another large hot pad. I may work on the vest tonight if I am not too tired.
Until the next time............................................................
