Yesterday was another sunny but cool day. The high got to 5.9C. Bonus - very little wind. The coolest it got during the night was 2C at 2 am and it was 5C when I got up. Today is suppose to be sunny, cloudy, and showery with a high of 16C.
Lifestyle
I was at physio at 8:30 a.m. and did the gym exercises. I then showed the therapist what I had been doing at home and she tweaked the exercise a bit and gave me one more to do. It is the butterfly and windshield wiper twist. Both are yoga exercises. The therapist did a lot of rotating of the knee and the long body stretch about 6-8 times. I was exhausted when I left but felt better.
The next thing on the list was groceries and getting a bag of straw for the garlic. Both were done and I was home and after putting things away, I rested on the couch. I was really tired but felt I had done well when out. My gait and stride were nearly normal. I did have some pain but not a great deal.
I won't cover the garlic until after the storms are gone. Probably Tuesday morning as we have a chance of snow Tuesday night and cooler weather.
I made a large lasagna and it is in the fridge ready to be cut and frozen. I will be having lasagna for dinner tonight. It is nice to know that I have some meals in the freezer for the coming week or two when I will be busy helping son as he is having his surgery this morning.
With Hurricane Nicole and another storm from Ontario coming, I woke to a sharp pain in my knee and back last night. I put heat on it and got as comfortable as I could. I then slept for 5 hours straight. Not bad for having pain.
Sewing
I hand sewed the binding down on the hot pads yesterday afternoon.
Knitting
I worked on the sweater last night (it has been published) and have started the 2nd sleeve. I am hoping I have enough yarn as this designer thinks all her sweaters can be knit from 25 grams. I find they take between 40 and 50 grams.
The designer and I talked about her next knit and the sweater has an Edwardian vibe. I said I would sew my Edwardian skirt to go with it and she is going to try and do a similar skirt in knitting. I need to let her know that she should do a slim one for a more modern look also.
Today
I am out the door shortly to make sure grandson is up and ready for school. Then it will be home and do a bit on the bag before getting a hair cut. Home to do more sewing and then we wait and see if I need to pick up grandson from school. I will knit tonight.
Until the next time.......................................................
