Another Slow Day

 Yesterday was cool and mainly cloudy. The high got to 12C. This morning it is raining and 8C. Today we are to have showers with a high of 11C. 

Lifestyle

I was still very tired yesterday and had a meltdown. I spent a lot of time writing my feelings down and getting it off my chest. It has been a combination of missing the Spousal Unit, the upheaval in the world, and worrying about way too much that is out of my control. When done, I knew yesterday was going to be a slow day. 

I went out and bought groceries. I found some great sales and saw that a few prices are up. It is a combination of tariffs, operation costs, and, our late spring. I got what I needed and came home. 

With my energy levels low, I had to push myself to do things. I did cook a chicken carcass so I had some broth and meat for meals. I did clean up the kitchen afterwards and run the dishwasher. I also did a bit of meal planning for part of the week. Not a lot but I did push myself to do things. 

I read that we have a low swirling around a huge area from the Maritimes into eastern Ontario. It is the reason we are having so much cool damp weather. It is supposed to disappear tomorrow and then get warmer. Probably warm enough for us to complain about the heat for 2 days. 

Sewing

I did sew yesterday. Mainly hand sewing. I embroidered the nose on the rabbit's head. It took me about 3 times to get it the way I wanted it to look. Then I hand sewed the head on to the body but may take it off and redo it. It is not on with back seams matching. 

I am leaving it for a couple of days to see if I like it though I am sure I won't. 

I then finished hand sewing down the second bit on the bag I am slow sewing. I did enjoy doing that. 

I also looked at the fabric I used for the gift bags and mug rugs. I have enough to make a gift bag and maybe another mug rug. I didn't look at details as I was too tired to think about numbers or lining fabric. 

Knitting

I picked up the stitches for the gusset on sock #2 and then started to knit the gusset on sock #1. I did 10 rounds on it. 

It was slow knitting as I was tired but determined to do some of the gusset. 

Thoughts

    My meltdown was mainly from tiredness and stress. I had several anxiety attacks during the day and had to work through those. I was worried about being tired and not sleeping well from that but I slept all night. I also got some deep sleep shortly after I fell asleep. It was exactly what I needed. 

    The cool weather has been annoying as I don't want to go outside and get cold. My SI joint is seated properly and my muscles are not too sore. I need to do things outside but I am refraining from doing them. 

    The cucumber seeds I planted haven't sprouted. The house has been cool so that could be one reason. Also the seeds are older which could be the 2nd problem. It also has only been 5 days since I planted them and I may be rushing them. 

Today

I am to the community hall to make sandwiches in an hour. Once home, I have to deal with the meat I bought and make spaghetti sauce to freeze. I hope to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. It will be a quiet day for me.
