A Bit Of Fun Shopping

 Yesterday was cloudy, dull, and very wet. The high got to 18C at 8 pm last night. This morning it is cloudy with some fog rolling in and 16C. Today is supposed to be wet this morning and then a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon. The high is to get to 20C (humidex 25C).

Lifestyle

I went and did my grocery shopping yesterday morning. It was busy when I went into the store but wasn't when I left. I wandered the store looking for items. One I couldn't find and have to look elsewhere for it. 

Once home, I got everything put away and sat down for a drink. It was raining harder by then and the house was gloomy even with the lights on. I kind of slumped on the couch after I put the laundry on and did very little before lunch. 

After lunch I picked up son and we were off to New Minas. The dealership gave them a car to use while theirs in for repairs. Once he had the car, I left and went to Dollarama to look around. I did the bigger store which is not my favourite. But I did score for once in that store. I was looking at the dishes to see if I could find anything for daughter's living quarters. I found these pieces. 

There were no dinner plates but I got these three pieces. I will go back and pick up 3 more of each as they are the nicest dishes I have seen. I will look in the Sackville store to see if they have the plates. 

I went to Home Sense/Winners to see what was in that store. I found these napkins for daughter. 

I did see a couple of items that I may get for myself. I am thinking about them . 

I did come home after that as it was raining pretty good. I took my time as the road was quite wet. Once home I put together everything I had found/made for daughter. It is quite the haul. 

I sat after I got home as my knee and SI joint were sore. It is weather related as the barometric pressure was dropping all day. I did get the clean sheets on my bed and made myself a healthy dinner. 

Sewing

None done yesterday as I was out. 

Knitting

I knit 8 rows on the afghan last night. I did have to attach a new ball of yarn and we are now knitting the light blue. 

Thoughts

    We had over an inch of rain fall in the past 24 hours. There were no heavy rainfalls, mainly a nice rain that did increase a bit at times. I did read yesterday that we are not likely to have drought conditions this summer. It is wetter than it was this time last year. 

    I was sore off and on yesterday. My knee hurt with the weather and that made my SI joint hurt. When I went to do my stretch, nothing hurt. My SI joint is sore this morning but I am off to physio today so we will see what is wrong. 

Today

I am off to physio in an hour and when home I will apply heat to my sore joint. I want to clean the bathroom this morning but it depends on how sore I am. This afternoon I want to cut out and start sewing the doll's jacket. I do have to make a couple of dinners tonight. I will knit this evening. 

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