A Quilt Is Finished - A Bag Is Planned

 Yesterday as another hot and humid day. The high got to 28C (humidex 35C). We had a thunderstorm and rain last night. This morning it is foggy and 16C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun, clouds, and showers with a high of 24C. 

Lifestyle

My first job of the morning was to do the balance sheet. No problems at all with it which is unusual for me. June is balanced and all the receipts are put away. 

I was tired and sore yesterday so did not attempt to scrub the floor on my hands and knees. What I didn't realize was -- there was a weather system moving in. The heat and humidity were creating thunderstorms coming up from below New Minas. It started here in the early evening with a few rumbles of thunder. Then it got dark and we had a good rain storm. The heat warning disappeared and an extreme thunderstorm warning appeared. All was done in a couple of hours. 

I did a bit of the family tree but wasn't overly focused on it. I did a load of laundry so I would get up and move. I cleaned up the kitchen which was another get moving tactic. I just puttered at everything and nothing. 

I slept well last night and had a hard time waking up. I went into a deep sleep just before I woke up which is very unusual for me. I sat on the side of the bed for a good 10 minutes waking up. 

Sewing

I finished hand sewing the binding onto the dog quilt. It is done (Hurrah). 

I have designed the next bag and am ready to cut out the pieces for it. I have to make 20 flying geese for it. I may have to buy interfacing as I am not sure how much I have in the stash. I need to look at what I have. This bag will be shipped with the quilt on Monday. 

Knitting

I did knit last night. I have half of the foot done on sock #1. 

I will admit that it was a hard knit as I was tired but I am wanting these socks done so I can start the next pair. I love these socks but I need to knit a lot more socks this year. 

Thoughts

    I had 2 anxiety attacks yesterday. One took a while to get over and the other was short as I directed my attention to the family tree. I know one attack was caused by reading the news but one stood out. A community I know well burnt to the ground in 2021 when a huge forest fire swept through the community. The community has finally rebuilt only to have another fire raging near the community. It brought back a lot of memories which triggered the attack.

    I checked my tomato plants yesterday and I have a bigger grape tomato on the middle plant. I was shocked to see it as I thought that plant was behind the plant I have been watching. I swear that the plants are growing an inch or more a day. 

Today

I am going to try and scrub the kitchen floor this morning and then go out for groceries and take the quilt over for my friend to see. This afternoon I want to start on the reusable grocery bag and try to get it partly made. Tonight I will knit. 

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