Too Hot To Move

 Yesterday was warm and fairly humid. The high got to 28C.  This morning (9 am) it is 30C. Today is going to be mainly sunny with a high of 31C. 

We went to the grocery store fairly early and when we arrived I noticed all the Christmas decorations were taken down and the small amount of decorations for sale were put away. There was lots of their fruit cake for sale but I saw that in November so I think it is sold year round. 

We spent a lot of time resting yesterday. I, for one, was tired for being up late and around a lot of people. I did have a rest but couldn't sleep. I did sleep better last night even if I went to bed late. I had a bit more deep sleep than I have been getting for the past while. 

The weather for our last days is brutal. There has been warmer temperatures and less moisture than they usually have. You can tell as the leaves and flowers on the trees and bushes are wilting. There has been less wind to help cool everything off though when the breeze does come up, you enjoy it. 

People are on holidays at the moment. The beaches are full until well after dark (8:30 pm). The stores are open and business is as usual. It is like being at home in the summer. 

I am still fighting allergies and I worry that the congestion from the allergies will turn into an infection. Most of the allergies are from pollen and dust but I do think I am reacting to the blanket on the bed. 

I am looking forward to going home. I am craving cold weather and hot chicken noodle soup. You wouldn't think you would miss it but it creeps up on you slowly and boom, you want it badly.

We are taking it easy while it is hot. I am going to start packing my belongings and be ready to go. I am also going to try and rest up as New Year's Eve will be noisy and we leave for the airport around 3 am on Jan 1. Our first flight has pods so I am hoping to sleep some on the flight. Our 2nd flight is seats so I will be resting rather than sleeping. We arrive in Montreal at midnight and leave just after lunch on Jan. 2nd for home. 

While I am resting I am planning a few things here so I can be ready for 2026. 

    I have a quilt planned for son-in-law. It is laid out on the cutting table ready for me to starch and cut. 

    I have all the patterns for the Edwardian wardrobe for the dolls. I will be starting with a coat. 

    I am continuing on with Sewing With Cinnamon this year. I wasn't going to until Cinnamon announced that this year we will be doing the updated Design Academy course. 

    I am wanting to walk 3 times a week and do yoga 4 times a week. I will be doing most of my snow shovelling for extra exercise. 

    I want to cook more healthy and different foods using some websites I was introduced to. 

There could be more added to the list. 

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