A Tired and Achy Day

 Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day with a high of 18C. This morning it is clear and 6C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 16C.

Lifestyle

I was tired and achy yesterday. I found it hard to do things which is normal after the vaccine I had. I survived it and all I have is a sore spot at the injection site this morning. 

The company that does the care of the lawn was here in the morning. He loves to visit with me so we talked about the storm we had and how my lawn is recovering from the drought. I have one more application of fall fertilizer and the lawn will be ready for winter. 

I alternated sitting and doing easy jobs like folding and putting away laundry, tidying the kitchen, and making my bed. I really wanted to sleep so after lunch I laid down for a rest. I lasted an hour before I got up and headed to the bank. I wanted to buy money for our trip. They don't bring it in. 

Once home, I decided to work on a couple of things for the trip. I am working on an emergency contact card to carry with me. I also have started a list for a first aid kit. I have a couple of things in it already and need to buy some items for it. Blister packs are high on the list. 

Sewing

I didn't do any sewing yesterday. I have printed off the shirt pattern I want to make. I still have to decide if I will do the fitted or loose fitting shirt. The loose fitting shirt will allow me to add pleats at the front and a bit of gathering at the back. 

Knitting

I knit on the socks last night and am almost ready to start on the toes. I was too tired to figure out if I need to knit more rows (like 3 or 4) to get the correct length. I need to get out the socks I have made in this size and do some measuring. 

Thoughts

    I got notification that my Fitbit has been repaired/replaced and has been handed over to the carrier. I should have it early next week. The turn around time has been fast which surprised me. 

    It was so warm yesterday that I had the living room window opened until 9 pm. The sun was quite warm and it heated the house up a lot. It is a treat to open windows near the end of October. 

    I have been having a lot of cravings this past week. I am not sure what I am craving as it seems to change daily. I do know it is sweets which means I am tired/stressed and seeking comfort foods. I hope the cravings will be gone soon as they are annoying me. I know what I am craving will cause me to have flare ups in my knees and SI joints. 

Today

I don't have a lot planned for today. I need to launder my sheets and do some cooking for dinner tonight and tomorrow night. I may spend some time cutting out the pattern pieces for the shirt and start pinning them onto fabric. I do know I will knit tonight. 

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