A Day Of Resting

 Yesterday was a mix of clouds and sun. The high got to 25C (humidex 27C). This morning it is cloudy and 14C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 25C (humidex 28C). 

Lifestyle

I was tired yesterday and all I can say is it was my fault. 

I did do the balance sheet and was ready to throw my hands in the air when I found I was 6 cents out when over half done. I took a deep breath and decided to go backwards carefully to make sure each entry was in correct. I got back to where I started and it was still out. Two entries down I found the mistake. I am still asking why it balanced the last time with an error in it. 

I decided that I couldn't do much more and I went back to bed after cleaning up the paperwork on the table. I slept soundly for almost an hour and when I woke up, I did feel a bit better. I did get the recycling out to the garage and all the plants watered. 

My eating has been out of control the past two days as I have been exhausted from the humidity. I was fuelling my body incorrectly and it wasn't helping me get through the humidity we were having. I caught myself late in the afternoon and decided to make a simple dinner of hamburger patties cooked on the bbq and a caesar salad. It was awesome to eat something that held me over rather than have me spike and crash. 

The egg cooker is something we really like. Rather than boil eggs (which we do), it steams them. Whether you boil or steam the eggs, putting them into ice water is the key to getting them to peel nicely. 

Sewing

I watched the video on how to sew the lining into the doll's jacket and realized it was not something I could do yesterday. I was too tired to sew so I put it aside for the day. 

I am thinking about sewing outfits that the ladies would have worn in our community which was founded in 1768 - 11 years after the Acadians were deported from the area. I will do a bit of history on it as it was a thriving community in its early days 

Knitting

I did pick up the afghan and knit 8 rows on it. 

It is growing slowly and is getting heavy. 

Thoughts

    My Fitbit decided to act up this morning. The time was over an hour out. It corrected itself and then stopped working. I will play with it later to see if I can reset it. If not, I will leave the battery to drain and try again. 

    I opened the windows last night to enjoy the breeze. By the time I went to bed, the wind was back to calm and the house was getting warm. This morning the cool air is coming in but there is no wind. When the wind came up, the humidity went down which was nice. 

Today

I am out to make sandwiches this morning and once home, I will sew on the doll's jacket. I do have to make dinner for the next 2 nights. I hope to knit tonight. I will also be checking the plants to make sure they have enough water. 

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