Yesterday was cloudy but warmer with a high of 16C. This morning it is raining and 8C. Today we are under a rainfall warning until this afternoon and then it is to be cloudy and windy. The high is supposed to be 11C.
Lifestyle
I was at physical therapy at 8 am yesterday and it was a session. My left SI joint was stiff and the therapist worked on that. I had pain in areas I didn't know could be painful. Next she worked on the adductor and she finally got it to stop being sore. She said if it didn't relax she was going to have to dry needle it. The last thing she showed me was an exercise to relax the piriformis muscle. Once she was done her work, I did my usual gym exercises and then had heat and the TENS machine.
When I got home, I sat for a bit with heat on my hip and realized how tired I was. Part was from physio as it was a big session. Most was from getting the retreat. It is over and the adrenaline rush was gone leaving me with no energy.
I did a few little things in the kitchen and looked for a ball of yarn that is missing. I cooked dinner and rested. Yes, that included a long nap after lunch.
Sewing
I did work on my to do list and got it updated. I want to do some cleaning in the sewing room first and then will start with the doll's pillow and pillow case. I can put that away with the quilt knowing the project is complete.
I am going to go through the doll's fabric and pull some blue fabrics out. I want to cut them into 2.5 x 5.5" rectangles and then sew them together to make the front and back of a bag. I hope I can find some neat fabric to make piping for it. I will try to do a tutorial page for it as it is a new idea for me.
Knitting
I cannot find the 2nd ball of yarn for my socks. I will continue looking for it but will start another pair of socks while I look. If I can't find it, I will unknit my sock and make something for the dolls. At the moment I am annoyed with myself for not knowing where the yarn is.
Thoughts
I am improving with my walking. The reason my muscles get sore is that they want to go back to where I was months ago. They are sore as they have to work differently to what they are use to. Getting them to work normally is hard for them. I will continue to work on getting them to work normally even if it causes me pain and discomfort.
I am hoping that I can do minimal buying in April. I need to work on using what I have in my stashes. I need to think before I buy and be more organized in what I am going to make. I had my buying fun in March for the retreat and now need to return to using what I have in my stashes.
Today
I have to go and get my Covid vaccine this morning and my one purchase, besides some groceries, is to get an ironing board cover. Once home, I need to do a few things and hope I can start cleaning the sewing room. It depends on how I react to the Covid vaccine. I would like to knit tonight if I am not too tired.
Until the next time..............................................
