Yesterday was wet and dull with a high of 7C. This morning it is partly cloudy and 1C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 6C. We are to have snow tonight.
Lifestyle
Yesterday morning I was quite busy. My first job was to get the box from daughter downstairs and everything sorted and put away -- keep and donate. I have the box stuffing to take down and put into the box as I am filling it to return to her.
I put the sheets from my bed in the washer and dryer so I could make the bed later in the afternoon. While I waited to put them into the dryer, I did the balance sheet. It is done for the week with only one issue that I had to hunt for and fix. All is put away for next week.
Before lunch I was able to go downstairs with the vacuum cleaner and vacuum the sewing room floor. I had swept it thinking it was pretty clean. No so. I was amazed at how much fluff the Dyson picked up. I didn't realize how much fluff, etc. gets left behind when you sweep and I swept the floor twice. Once the vacuuming was done, I mopped the floor with the swiffer. It wasn't that dirty after vacuuming up all the "crud" off the floor.
I looked into the freezers and decided to eat up the frozen meals I have in them. I had 3 left to eat and they are going to be gone this week. I will have to cook meals after that. I am ready for that knowing that I will make 2 servings; one for that night and one for the next night.
I also had a think about what I am eating and I decided that I need to cut out sweets from my diet and not snack between meals. I know some of my tiredness is from pain but I am sure that some of it is from poor eating habits. I was very mindful yesterday and felt much better eating only my meals and no snacks. We wait and see how this goes.
Sewing
I spent the afternoon sewing the binding down on the table runner. I am still annoyed at myself for having mistakes in it but I decided to finish it off and live with it.
I put it on the tv stand and it will go there at Christmas time.
Knitting
I set up sock #2 and knit on it. I have both socks as the same place at this time.
Thoughts
It rained until 5pm or a bit later. There was a lot of rain fall as the puddles were big and the water was running into the ditch from the road. As it wasn't very warm, the house felt cold and damp all day. I did turn up the heat some as I was cold. I also used the heating pads to keep my sore spots warm as they hate being cold.
I am going back to eating like I did when I was loosing weight. I am starting out with no snacking between meals and bringing in portion control. I am also eliminating sugar and chocolate from my diet. I do need to loose some weight but the main objective is to see if I am less tired and sore. I know sugar and chocolate cause my joints to be sore. I am wondering if I get tired when I push my blood sugar up and then have a crash.
I am now at the stage where I have to start cleaning the family and maintenance room. I did look at it a bit but need to sit and think about it so I can come up with a plan. I did sort the yarn a bit and put some into bags if there was a lot of it. I have a small bag of yarn that needs to be added to the big bag. I need to find a place to store it for the next month. I also need to start sorting items that will either go to the thrift store or be sold at the garage sale. I may start with that and add to it as I clean the family room.
Today
I need to do a bit of tidying up upstairs and then start sorting the craft materials. After lunch I want to sew the pillow and pillow case for the doll's quilt. If I have time, I will go back to sorting craft materials. Tonight I will knit on the socks. It is basically a stay at home day for me.
Until the next time.........................................................................
