Yesterday was mainly sunny with a high of 23C. This morning it is clear and 14C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 26C.
Lifestyle
I was out to physio yesterday and I am aligned!! My SI joints were tight and stiff along with the right piriformis muscle. The left SI joint was worked on first and we got a loud crack as it released. The right side had to have the muscle released first and then the SI joint. It cracked as I rolled over onto my side. The therapist started the moves to continue releasing it and pain made me tighten up. We had to start again after I worked on relaxing my body. The session ended with a long leg traction pull. I did the gym exercises and had current and heat therapy at the end.
I got home and put more heat on the SI joints as I had something to drink. It was then time to tackle the fridge. I boiled a big pot of water and put it into the freezer so the ice could melt. The back had frozen up some during the night and there was a thick piece of ice still to remove. I let it sit all night and finally plugged it in this morning. I wait and see what happens. I do have the name of a person to call to see if he will come and look at it for repairs.
I did cook one of the bags from Chef's Plate yesterday. It was a fairly easy meal to cook and I had the kitchen cleaned up before noon. When I sat down to eat lunch, I was exhausted. I know it was from physio as my body took a lot of manipulation. I was going to sleep but my friend and her dog came over for a visit.
My friend and I had a great visit talking about a lot of things including being independent in our senior years. Daisy, the dog, was equally as happy to sleep on the couches beside us and on the chair. She loved the chair as she could look out the window and see what was going on. Once they left, I took out the recycling to the curb for pick up this morning. I was still tired but not exhausted. My body had recovered while visiting.
Sewing
I didn't sew yesterday as I had my friend over. I still need to tidy up my work spaces before I start the next project.
Knitting
I got the 2nd sock done to the toe. I am ready to start them. I think 2 more evenings and they will be done.
It isn't the pattern that the designer used on the orange one she made. I have that pattern also. I may make it in pink also. I do like this one though as it is different than hers. I will have to read both patterns and see how to combine them to get the pattern I want.
My yarn arrived yesterday and I am thrilled with it. The blue yarn will be used for my socks and I will do them next. I plan on knitting the leg and heel flap in the yarn I got in Sweden and use the new yarn for the gusset and foot/toe part. The teal yarn I bought is lovely and I will do a fancy pair for daughter for Christmas. I will definitely order from this company again.
Thoughts
The weather warmed up very quickly and we are feeling the heat. I had to turn on the heat pump to cool the house as it was very warm last night. I will have to do the same today. I will also close all the curtains to help keep the house cooler also. It ends tomorrow and we will be cooler and damp once again.
I am going to have to start looking for plants and get the garden planted and the flower pots filled. I have been making plans and need to get busy doing what I need to do. I have been slow as my house hasn't been power washed yet but I will deal with that when it happens. I will start with vegetables first.
I have to make time to do yoga at least 3 times a week. It is to help stretch everything and, hopefully, keep the SI joints and muscles from being tight. I know it works and I will make an effort to do them regularly. I am hoping it will help as I see the physio therapist in 6 weeks. Osteopathy won't happen until late summer/early fall. That appointment I hope will be just maintenance.
Today
I have a load of towels to put into the dryer as I did them while my coffee was making. I need to do yoga this morning, fold laundry, and tidy up the dining room table. I have to go for blood works just before noon. This afternoon I hope to tidy up the sewing spaces and cut out a pattern from the last piece of fabric left from March. This evening I will knit.
Until the next time..............................................................
