Yesterday was sunny and warm with a high of 10C. This morning it is cloudy and 1C. Today is suppose to be a mix of sun, clouds, and showers with a high of 6C.
Lifestyle
I started the day out with cooking and I made Ginger Sesame Pork Bowls for dinner for last night and tomorrow night. I am working at getting the spice amounts right. Just about there with that. It wasn't a hard meal to make which was nice.
Once done cooking and cleaning up, I headed out to get some meat that I needed. I still have to make Teriyaki Beef Bowls and a lasagna using fresh sheets of lasagna. I will be making that later on as I have frozen the meat and the sheets of lasagna.
I got 2 loads of laundry done while I was cooking and I made my bed later in the day. I will have to say it hurt lifting the mattress to tuck in the sheet and blanket. My sore muscles let me know they weren't pleased with that move.
The sun was really warm and I had the curtains all open using solar power to heat the house. The heat pump didn't run until last night which was nice. The heat and warmth of the sun melted all the ice and snow off the back deck which was a surprise. I thought I'd have some left on it but it is completely bare. The ice and snow along the edge of the driveway melted good and the middle of the driveway was dry. The sidewalk was the same.
The rain they predicted moved to the north and went along the New Brunswick side of the Bay of Fundy. Another big storm moved along the south side of the province but didn't hit land until it got to Cape Breton Island.
Sewing
After a short nap, I headed down to the sewing room. I interfaced the bag and lining and put fusible fleece onto the outer bag. I drew the lines so I could cross hatch the outside of the bag.
When I put the matching thread onto a bobbin, I realized I didn't have enough thread to cross hatch. I did a few rows and then decided to get more thread. Out the door I went to Avonport.
I got the thread and wandered the store. I looked at the fabrics as I haven't been in there for a good 6 weeks. I enjoyed looking and found this linen look fabric. I bought 2 half meter pieces for doll clothes. I have an idea in my mind for it.
I enjoyed my outing. The drive was wonderful; the roads were bare and it was sunny. I enjoyed looking at the fabrics in the shop. It was an enjoyable trip and got me out of the house.
Knitting
I did not knit last night. Not sure why but I just wasn't interested.
Thoughts
I need to stop napping as I had a poor night's sleep last night. I was awake a lot during the night and slept lightly most of the night. I didn't walk as much as I normally do and I had more pain than I really wanted. The flare up is going away slowly which is good but it still gives me pain and discomfort.
Our weather is going to be cold again this weekend. There is snow forecasted for Saturday which means I could be out shovelling the driveway during the day. These cold periods should be of short duration with hopes that it warms up as we get closer to spring. The worry is how much snow and ice has to melt.
I am glad that I went out for a drive even if I did break my fabric fast. It was nice to be out of the house and not having to shovel ice and snow. I will be venturing out more on nice days as I have things to get that I have put off buying as I didn't want to drive in the nasty weather. I am grateful that I can grocery shop 3 minutes from my house and that daughter-in-law took me shopping when she had to get items in other communities.
Today
I am walking today at the arena. I am sore but I am hoping that I can do more than 5 laps. Once home, I want to do a bit of housework and then sew this afternoon. I would like to knit tonight if I am not too tired. I may have to force myself to pick up the vest and work on it.
Until the next time.......................................................................
