Yesterday was cloudy with a high of 14C. This morning it is cloudy and 11C. Today is supposed to be cloudy with showers and a high of 16C.
Lifestyle
My first job of the day was to do yoga. While doing one of the exercises, the SI joint released and it felt good to have little pain. One thing I am noticing is that the muscles are more relaxed most of the day. They only hurt when the SI joint stiffens up.
The second job of the day was torture. After putting on the laundry, I did the balance sheet. I could not get it to balance no matter what. I was frustrated that I could not figure out why I was out. I tried and I tried to find the mistake. Finally, I deleted all of May's entries and started again. It was then that I realized I was mixing up two numbers that I subtract to get the balance to match the bank statement and the balance sheet. Once I figured that out, I was careful not to flip them and everything balanced. It took me well over an hour to realize that and by the time I finished, it was after 12 noon. I was not happy. Thanks to that, morning was gone though the laundry was in the dryer.
Later in the afternoon, I put the clean sheets on the bed. My SI joint was really stiff and painful. By the time I was finished making the bed I was so sore that I was yelling ouch when I moved. I got onto the bed and the exercise the physio therapist told me to do (windshield wiper) and after 5 reps the SI joint released. I did 5 or 6 more and got off the bed virtually pain free.
I have been doing a bit of thinking and doing with Chef's Plate meals. I have been eating only 3 meals a day with no snacks and I have not lost weight. In actual fact, I gained a bit of weight. I realized that the starch part of the portions are too much for me. I am going to do some figuring out how to make them with less rice, noodles, or potatoes. I eat the last one tonight and will be making my own suppers.
Sewing
I decided to clean up the cutting table yesterday and found two pieces of the stripe fabric I had bought for the table runner backing. I decided to make 2 gift bags. I dug in the stash to find fabrics to compliment the stripe fabric.
Knitting
I did knit last night. I got the heel flap knit and the heel turned on the first sock. I also picked up all the stitches to start the gusset.
I also knit on the doll's sweater. I have almost done the body part of it. Five more rows and the body will be done.
It is close to be finished. Then on to the doll's coat from the same yarn.
Thoughts
We are having a cool spell right now and could have frost on Wednesday night. I will not be putting out plants until June 1 and will store them in the garage until then. This is not unusual for us to have frost this late in May. We can have frost in early June. We had a killer frost on June 3 in 2018 and another light frost on June 10, 2020.
The deer have not been around the yard since I started spraying the plants. Not sure if they have moved away to have their babies or if the smell of the deterrent is keeping them away. I have been spraying almost every night and you can smell it when you go outside. Soon I will be spraying the vegetable garden.
Today is Victoria Day and I thought everything was closed. From what I am reading, most everything is open. I wondered as our road is busier than I thought it would be.
Today
I will put on a load of laundry and then head out to New Minas to look for plants. I am ready to buy some and put into the garage. I want to sew this afternoon and knit tonight.
Until the next time............................................................
