Yesterday was a lovely sunny day with a high of 8C. This morning it is clear and -3C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 9C.
Lifestyle
I was out early to make sandwiches and it was a bit of a gong show. Trying to make and keep separate sandwiches for two lunches was confusing for a lot of the volunteers. We did get it done. Three of us had to sweep the hall, put out chairs and tables, and get it ready for one of the lunches. I had set up once and the others never. A few things were missed and daughter-in-law fixed it for us. I know for the next time.
My plans for the day changed as I went to the city with daughter-in-law to help her shop and to be prepared to drive home from physical therapy. We started off in downtown Halifax to pick up a gift. Then it was off to the Halifax Mall. Don't ask me how we got there but we avoided all the construction.
We had lunch at the mall and then went upstairs to the Lindt store. Daughter-in-law got some chocolates for Easter. I got grandson some chocolate for Easter also. When I went to pay, I was told to pick a bag of chocolates from a given stand for my birthday present. I picked out one I liked but will be giving it away.
Next up we went to the largest Walmart in the area. We were there to pick up snacks for the cast of the play that grandson is in. We got that job done with me helping put items in the cart. It was then time to go to physio.
Daughter-in-law has improved a lot with her knee. Her back is sore from how she walks with a cane and had some needling done on her piriformis muscle. The therapist did a lot of massage on it afterwards and then did some work on her knee. She drove home but I know she was tired. Hopefully she got some time to rest as she needed it.
I got home at 3:30 pm and I was tired. I put a lot of emphasis on walking with a long stride and getting my right knee to go back properly. My muscles started out rebelling but I ignored them. They stopped after a while but were really tired from working the way they should. I will keep working on that constantly. I need to make the muscles learn that I can walk correctly and they don't need to go back to the old pattern of protecting the hip.
Knitting
Though I was tired, I did knit last night. I got the legs done and the first row of the heel flap knit.
Thoughts
Though it wasn't overly warm, we were able to discard our winter coats while shopping. It was nice to be able to wear only hoodies and not over heat in the stores. It was a bit chilly outside but the sun made it feel warmer than it was.
We saw purple and white crocuses blooming in Halifax. It was nice to see colour as the leaves are not out on the trees. I also saw daffodils under the trees at the end of the road I live on. I was thrilled about that. Daughter-in-law's rose bush had leaf buds on it and mine will also. We are taking the burlap covers off them next week. Spring is coming though it has been slow.
Today
I am going to do some cleaning in the kitchen this morning. I also need to fold laundry. This afternoon I want to sew on the rabbit and see if I can get her body done. If warm enough I will go out and plant garlic in the vegetable boxes later this afternoon. Tonight I want to knit on the socks.
Until the next time........................................................
