Yesterday was another sunny day with a high of 25C (humidex 28C). This morning it is clear and 10C. Today is supposed to be mainly sunny with a high of 27C (humidex 30C).
Lifestyle
I was fiddling around getting my thoughts for the next 10 weeks organized in Word. I was doing great and had almost finished September ideas. My focus this September is
cleaning/decluttering/purging the family room and under the stairs
finish the quilt and table runners
clean the deck ready for winter
knit socks
I was doing great when family called and needed me to come over. They were in the in-law suite while their heat pumps were being installed. I went over as quick as I could.
When I walked in son was muttering about "not Mexico" so I knew we were going to be talking about our trip to Montevideo. We started off talking general dates, airlines, and hotels. It was a great general discussion which had some great laughs. We stopped at noon for lunch (Subway) and started up again. We were getting serious. When son started to get us flights he did something and had to wait 30 minutes before he could start again. He started again and when it came time to put names in he said something about him being person one. I said of course as you are paying for the trip. Daughter-in-law laughed and gave me a high five. By 3 pm we had our tickets, I had paid for mine, and I had a list I am working on between now and Nov. 1.
I got home after 3 pm and I had things to do. I started with cleaning out the freezer. I have it all done but 2 items which need to be partially defrosted. The compost bin and all the recycling is down at the curb ready for pick up this morning. My back was sore from the hour of activity I did.
I was sore last night in the middle of my back (sacrum) and I did some stretches and got a nice crack. The soreness is basically gone and I just need to continue strengthening it through activities I am doing.
Sewing
I did sit and sew the binding down on one more side of the quilt. I have about 60" left and it will be done. My next job is to quilt and bind the runners.
Knitting
Son brought me 3 skeins of merino wool/silk blend yarn from Uruguay. They are all the same dye lot.
I also worked on sock #2. I am slowly getting the gusset done. I think I am about half way done.
Thoughts
We are to have a couple of humid days and nights as there seems to be showers coming tomorrow and Sunday. Then it will be back to low 20C during the day and 8-10C during the night. We are definitely seeing the start of fall but will also see some warm humid days during the month.
I have decided to cancel Sewing With Cinnamon as I have lost interest in her topics. Though I will continue to sew for the dolls, I want to focus on using patterns I have already vs getting more that I may or may not sew. I will say that it is a great program and I did enjoy it but my focus has changed this year. I may work on the couture sewing course I got years ago as I do love doing that type of sewing.
One of my goals this fall is to start (once again) doing meal planning. I have tried many ways from planning once a week to twice a month. I am going to try to plan twice a week to see if that will help. Cooking for 1 person is hard but I do find that Chef's Plate recipes do help me. Making a recipe for 2 gives me a meal to eat and one to have the next day.
Today
I am going to complete yesterday's list and add doing more cleaning in the family room. I hope to finish sewing the binding on the quilt and knit on the socks. I have dinner planned which is a bonus.
Until the next time................................................................
