A Bag Is Finished

 Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 6C. This morning it is cloudy and -6C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 5C.

Lifestyle

I was out the door and at the arena at 8 am to walk. We did 6 laps and I was tired when done. Once home, I sat and rested. I realized that the tiredness was due to the low thyroid and knew it was going to pass with the new medication. 

My plan was to go to the quilt store in the afternoon but I decided to go in the morning. It was a nice drive though the roads were wet from all the snow and rain we had had the night before. It was good to get outside and do something. 

I noticed that the brain fog I was having started to lift in the late afternoon. The spurts of energy were longer and the fits of tiredness were a bit shorter. I was what I call entering the world of the living. The medication was starting to work its magic. I did have a nap after lunch but it wasn't as long or as deep as it had been. 

With the weather being warmer the snow is melting. I have grass showing up in the front. With all the ice we had, I thought it would have been damaged but it is looking healthy. 

Sewing

The trip to the quilt store was successful. I bought daughter this piece of fabric for a shirt and the plain piece is for piping. 

I also bought 3 pieces of fabric for a doll's quilt I want to sew at the end of the month. I fell in love with the pieces I bought to go with the two plain ones. 

I also sewed for almost 2 hours yesterday afternoon and finished the bag I was working on. It went together well and I am pleased with how it looks. 

I am going to put it into the craft bazaar to see if I can sell it. If not, I will give it to someone. 

I have started to update my to do list for March. I need to finish some items from February and prep for the retreat at the end of the month. I also want to sew a few things for the craft bazaar. 

Knitting

I didn't knit last night as I was tired and ready for bed early. Hopefully I can start knitting again at nights. It is time to finish the vest and start knitting socks. 

Thoughts

    l didn't realize how much my low thyroid had been affecting me. One day of the new dosage has been feeling better and wanting to do things. I know it will take a while to get the benefit of the new dosage. Knowing I want to do more is a great feeling. 

    I saw a cardinal yesterday. The first one I have seen for a long time. I love those birds and know that they do bring messages from loved ones. It was amazing that it coincided with me starting my new medication. 

    The days are getting longer. It is hard to believe that it is light shortly after I get up in the morning and isn't dark until 6:30 pm. I do like spring though fall is still my favourite season. I am looking forward to getting outside and doing things without having to wear a coat all the time. 

Today

I have to do the balance sheet and pay bills this morning. I want to do some housework and fold laundry. This afternoon I want to do a few things in the sewing room and I hope to knit tonight. 

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