Plans Changed for Shopping at Ikea

 Yesterday was mainly sunny with a high of 11C. This morning it is 6C (up 4C between 5 and 6 am). Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 17C. 

Lifestyle

My plans for the morning changed. Daughter-in-law and I went to the city so we could get some things at Costco and Ikea. Costco was very busy for 9:30 am and people were buying for Thanksgiving dinner (Monday in Canada). We got through the store without being hit or hitting someone. I got coffee pods, some soup I love, a square, and some Tylenol. We found some lovely pants for daughter-in-law in colours she loved. 

At Ikea, I was buying a few items for daughter's Christmas box. We only did Market Place as that was where everything I wanted was. I gave myself an hour to look and buy. We walked a lot of the store and I got everything I wanted. I was an hour. From there we headed home as it was getting super busy in the stores and the traffic in that area was heavy. We were home by noon. 

I bought two stems of fake hydrangeas. They were 79 cents each. I am hoping they will have more when I go back later on. They are perfect for my bedroom. 

Crafting

I spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning up the crafting materials. I sorted, bagged, and put a lot of stuff into the donation/sell box. I put a tub on the shelf of paper I kept. Not a lot. I sorted out the cart and tidied it up. The last job was to take out the garbage and sort it. That took a while but the job is done and the family room is ready to vacuum. 

I didn't look at how to bind the book yesterday. I need to do a search on YouTube for it. I also need to price it at the office supply store. My biggest fear is the cover for the book. I will have to ask about that when I go. 

Knitting

I did a lot of knitting last night as I was bored. I got the foot knit on the sock. 

It could be done tonight. 

Thoughts

    My weight dropped slightly this week. I think I am not eating enough and my body is holding onto the weight. I did eat a bit more yesterday to see if this is the case. I am loosing inches as my clothes are fitting looser. At this time I will not be going back to see the dietician as I know what I need to do and can do it on my own. I know that loosing the weight I gained is better for my joints. 

    I bought soup yesterday as it is one I love. It is one I don't make so I buy it as a treat. I am going to make soup when this is gone as I enjoyed a bowl of it last night. I also like it for lunch. It is cool enough to start thinking about soup, especially chicken soup. 

Today

I am off to make sandwiches this morning. When I get home, I want to start cleaning the front entry starting with the closet. I have to be at family's at 11 am to watch grandson play soccer (YouTube). This afternoon, I would like to do find the videos on how to bind the memory book to see if I can do it myself. Tonight I hope to finish the socks. 

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