Yesterday was a grey day but no snow fell. The high got to -0.5C. There was about 2" of snow fell. This morning it is cloudy and -1C. We are to have sun, clouds, and some flurries today with a high of 1C. It is suppose to snow tonight.
Lifestyle
My neighbour came over and snow blowed the driveway for me. Eight passes and he was done. I was out later to open the garage door, clean up a bit there and shovel the small sidewalk, steps, and landing. That is my job. I am so thankful that I have a wonderful neighbour who does the driveway for me when it snows a lot.
I did yoga yesterday morning prior to going out to shovel. I did the exercises slowly and carefully as I am working on stretching and strengthening. I am getting it done and with good results.
I did a bit of housework, folded laundry and did a very small load of clothes that needed to be done. I was tired as I still hadn't had a good night's sleep for several nights in a row. I did sit on the couch and closed my eyes. I may have had a 20 minute nap.
I lost my phone and spent time looking for it. I was stressed out from not knowing where it was. I found it down between the cushions on the couch near the back. Once I found it, I relaxed, had an IBS attack, and realized stress is causing some of my issues.
Family borrowed the car to take son to the airport. I was also worrying about their safety out on the roads knowing full well they were bare and wet. I could see the highway traffic moving quickly when I looked out. I did drive their electric car!! I backed it down the driveway and down the street so I could park it.
I finally got my glucose readings into the low 5's. I have been eating extra carbs each meal. I hope I am at a stage where I can back off and eat the foods I enjoy rather than carb laden foods. My weight has remained the same which is good.
Sewing and Crafting
I did decorate the bottom tag on the page I finished. It took me about 5 minutes and I walked away from it without taking a picture. I was thinking of other things.
In the sewing room, I cut out the track suit pants. I carefully sewed them together without any issues. Even the front pockets cooperated for me.
I did work on the cross stitch but didn't take a picture of it. I got 2 more rows done on the lace part. It isn't hard to do and I know I will be done it in a few of more days. Then onto the next project which will go into the Charlie Brown journal.
Knitting
I worked on the hat last evening and got it finished. I had to start the 2nd ball of yarn to finish it.
Thoughts
We were under a winter storm warning for Monday. That has since disappeared so the storm must have shifted enough that we aren't going to get a huge dump of snow. It will be enough that my driveway will need snow blowing and shovelling.
I am realizing that I need to relax more and not get stressed out over things. It hasn't been the misplacing of the phone yesterday. It has been the weather, my health/mobility, and a lot of other things. I have been a bit of a wreck. I realized I have to let go of worrying. Most of what I am worrying about is out of my control. I also think I am worrying about things as I get physically better. There is less to worry about on my self care radar. Misplacing the phone was the wake up call I needed.
Today
I need to do yoga this morning. I also have the balance sheet to do. I want to do a bit of clean up in the kitchen this morning. I am hoping to cut out 10 tea bag holders for the craft bazaar tub before going to work on the track suit jacket. I want to cut it out and start on the body part to the zipper. I also want to work on the cross stitch project and start the 2nd hat tonight.
Until the next time.............................................................
