Almost Done Runner #2

 Yesterday was sunny and warm with a high of 22C (humidex 24C). This morning it is cloudy, damp, and 15C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 23C (humidex 26C). 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning was busy. I put the sheets into the washer and then did a bit of cleaning up. I checked the pepper plants to see how they were doing. It was out the door to get groceries. I got home at noon. 

I put the sheets into the dryer and sat down to eat lunch. I was tired as my IBS was still ongoing. I decided to have a bottle of Gatorade Zero as I knew I was dehydrated. It settled my whole system down and I was fine for the rest of the day. 

I made my bed and got the garbage out to the curb for pick up this morning. I also checked the pepper plants for some unknown reason and there were two more red ones. They had ripened during the day. I was shocked at how fast they had turned red. 

Sewing

The binding was sewn onto the 2nd runner and I sat and hand sewed the binding down. I am almost done it. 

The last one will take longer to get done as I have to piece the backing. I am hoping it will be done by Monday unless I have lots come up that I am not expecting. 

Knitting

I knit on the socks last night and have the leg done (80 rounds) and 2 rows done on the heel flap. 

Though the yarn is dark, I am enjoying knitting it. The blue in the yarn keeps me going as it gives the socks some brightness. 

Thoughts

    I was surprised to see how fast the jalapeño peppers ripen. Once they turn to a very dark green and sit for a while, they turn red in a matter of hours. I am watching the plants carefully as I don't want to pick the peppers that are dark green. I am hoping they will turn red so son can make chipotle. 

    I was shocked to hear that Charlie Kirk, whom I had never heard of before, was shot and died from his wounds while speaking at the University of Utah. I cannot understand how someone could do this to a person over the fact that you do not agree with his political views. 

    The rain we had this morning was a surprise. It is cool and refreshing outside. I see that my flowers have revived from the rain we have had. I will keep them going for a while longer as they are bright and cheerful against the shed. 

Today

My list is made for this morning. The big job is to mop the family room floor. There are other smaller jobs to do also. This afternoon I want to finish runner #2 and start working on runner #3. Tonight I will knit on the socks. A quiet day for me as I have nothing to go out for. 

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