Plans Change Which is Good

 Yesterday was warm, cloudy, and wet. The high got to 24C (humidex 29C). This morning it is mainly cloudy (smoky?) and 18C. Today is supposed to be mainly sunny with a high of 25C (humidex 29C). We are to have smoky conditions today. 

Lifestyle

My plans went south yesterday. In a good way.

I did go to physio and found out that my SI joints were tight and tipped backwards. The therapist worked on the sacrum to release it and then worked on the SI joints. There was a lot of cracking and I continued to crack doing some stretching exercises. I was sore and tired from what I thought would be an easy session. I go back in 6 weeks. 

I went right over to see daughter-in-law and we talked about the trip we may take to Uruguay. We looked at AirBNB and made lots of notes. She got notification that her car was ready to be picked up so off we went. 

Our next trip was to find out what was wrong with the windshield washer. The shop who replaced the windshield didn't put the hose back on and it was a quick fix. Then it was off to New Minas to get the MVI completed on the car. 

I got the information on how to get my stove fixed. I will be doing that today. Next up was to look at runners and sandals. I got 2 pairs of runners at 50% off and daughter-in-law got a pair of nice sandals. 

Once home, I sat down and fell asleep. I was tired from the physio session (usual) and from going strong afterwards. I usually rest with heat for an hours but that didn't happen. Not complaining as I did enjoy my day. 

I had dinner with daughter-in-law. It was left over Chinese food and I enjoyed it. I left a bit later than anticipated. Once home I settled down for the evening. It was raining and had been for a couple of hours. The lights flickered on and off and they finally went off just after 8 pm. The cause of the power outage was "fire". I found out later it was caused by a power line arching and catching on fire in the community across the lake from us. The power came back on at 11 pm. 

Sewing

None done as I was in and out all day. 

Knitting

I did knit on the socks last night and did 8 rounds. I am half done decreasing the gusset. 

They are coming along and I am pleased with them. The black yarn is hard to see the decreases so I count after each row to make sure I have done the decreases on both sides. 

Thoughts

    It was so nice to have the rain yesterday. Hopefully we will get more next week as we still need a lot more moisture. 

    The fire south of us has spread some and structures have been lost to it. We feel for the people who had to evacuate with what they could bring knowing they will now go home to nothing but what they took with them. The smoke from the fire is moving our way and we are under an air quality warning. I could smell it when I stepped outside this morning. 

    I am still watching the news on the economic/political situation. It is full of uncertainty as things can change on a daily basis. Costs to consumers have gone up for everyone no matter where you live. This seems to be the new reality as we move forward. 

Today

I have to get a few things done even though I am tired. I am trying to work through yesterday's to do list though I don't think I will get it all done. Tonight I am taking daughter-in-law out to celebrate her birthday. Sewing and knitting will be on hold for today. 

Until the next time...................................................................
