Yesterday was a lovely sunny day with a high of 19C. This morning it is clear with the fog starting to roll in. It is 6C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 20C.
Lifestyle
I had a busy morning with cleaning the living room. I moved all the furniture, dusted, dry mopped, and then wet mopped the floors. I over did it and my SI joint is tight and very sore. When daughter-in-law came in she asked if I washed the floor with red wine. The fresh smell was overwhelming. We had a good laugh and a great visit.
I did get a load of laundry washed and dried but failed to get it folded. I went to the city with daughter-in-law around 2 pm. We did our round of stores looking for bright blue suitcases for daughter-in-law. None to be found but I did get the green carry on case to complete my set.
We did Home Depot to return a light and the went looking for a mounting block for an outside light. Their website said they had 17 in stock and we found 0. I asked a sales representative and we got first class service from him. None on the shelf, 17 in stock. He set about looking for it and was baffled he couldn't find the box. I set about looking and found a box with the number on it. We thought it was in the wrong department but when he got it down there they were. He apologized profusely about not getting it down, gave us one, and proceeded to restock the shelf. We thanked him for his excellent customer service.
Our last stop of the day was to pick up daughter-in-law's glasses. As we were talking we found out the optician is the aunt of two boys grandson played soccer with. We chatted for quite a while with her. I have met the two boys, their sister, and their father. A lovely family and the optician is also very friendly and helpful.
Dinner last night was a small burrito. It was delicious and I ate it knowing I was within my allowed points. I scales were down 1.3 lbs and I have lost 6.2 lbs in 5 weeks. I am happy with that and hope to have a good weight loss when I see the doctor in early November.
I walked over to my neighbour's house last night and picked up the flyers on their driveway. I am going to do that each week so they don't get a huge pile of them to blow around.
Sewing
Daughter-in-law's visit in the morning was to show me a video of a bag she thought I could make for us to have on our holiday. Once I get going, I will be making 3 or 4 of them so we can have them when we go grocery shopping. Very simple and quick to make.
After lunch I sat down to finish sewing the binding on the last runner. I was almost done when I had to get ready to go with daughter-in-law to the city. I will finish it this morning.
Knitting
I turned the heel, picked up the gusset stitches and have 21 rounds knit on the gusset. Big progress last night on the socks.
Thoughts
My fridge made a lot of noise for 2 days and is now back to working properly. I am so upset with it and am happy that I have a new one coming later this month. It can't be trusted at all.
There are more peppers turning red on the one plant. At the rate it is going, most of the peppers on that plant could be ripe by the end of the month. I have never had much luck with peppers and to have this happen is quite exciting.
Today
I am going to fold laundry and finish the runner. I would like to dust my bedroom and clean the dining room table (layer of dust on it). I am resting a lot today as I am sore and have to work a bar tonight. I know I will be doing some exercises to see if I can release the tightness in my SI joint.
Until the next time..............................................................
