Yesterday started out with snow and ended up sunny. The high got to -7C (windchill -12C). This morning there is light clouds and -13C (windchill -19C). The coldest temperature overnight was -16C (windchill -22C). Today it is suppose to be mainly sunny with some wind with a high of -8C (windchill can go as low as -28C).
Lifestyle
I moved slowly yesterday morning. I tidied up the kitchen, vacuumed the floor and mopped it. I also did some spot cleaning in the dining and living areas. It was mostly to get rid of foot prints. Late in the afternoon, I cleaned the stairs down to the front entry. They were dirty with salt on them. I still have the front entry to do as the floor is white with salt.
I did have a nap yesterday afternoon. I was exhausted from being up late and from the scare of the fall. I was really slow to wake up as I must have slept deeply. I slept okay last night but didn't have the deep sleep I normally get due to the nap.
My soreness improved over the day. I alternated between resting with heat on the sore spots and walking around the house. It paid off as the pain is almost gone and I didn't need any Tylenol until this morning.
Sewing
I spent a bit of time in the sewing room. I got the body of the rabbit I am making printed onto tag. It is cut out ready to trace on the fabric. I also took the left over fabric from the ears and soles of the feet and traced a simple rabbit onto it. It is ready to cut out. I also starched and pressed two pieces of fabric to make another large hot pad.
Knitting
None done last night.
Thoughts
The cold weather is here for today and then gone. The downside of this is periods of rain or snow which could be icy conditions. I am sure there will be lots of salt poured on to the roads in the next week.
I did a huge brain dump on meal planning for the next 2 weeks. I have everything I need for this week and will have to put together a shopping list for next week. I am hoping that I can keep up with my planning and having a few meals in the fridge/freezer each week. I have to still focus on the freezer as I have lots to use up in it. I have used a lot of the chicken broth I had made last fall. Now to use the rest of the food I have stored in there.
My hip improved yesterday and most of the pain I had prior to the fall has gone. I did stretch my leg a lot during the day but not as hard as I had been. I think the fall jarred a few parts back into the right spots. I know I was lucky not to have done damage to my hip area. The bonus is not being as sore as I was.
It seems as if there will be uncertainty of how the economy will look due to the tariffs that are being implemented between the US and Canada. It is unfortunate it is happening as both countries' economy is going to be affected. Hopefully what is happening will be short lived. We do not need to have a recession which is being predicted.
Today
I need to do the balance sheet, more cleaning, and some laundry. I want to prep for sewing and do a bit of clean up in the basement. I would like to knit tonight. I still need to balance resting my hip with activity. I hope to knit tonight.
Until the next time........................................................................
