Getting Things Done

 Yesterday was mainly sunny with a high of 26C (humidex 29C). This morning it is cloudy and 15C. Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with a high of 25C (humidex 27C).

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning started off with more scrubbing in the bathroom. The vanity area was done. I cleaned out the vanity, threw out some expired items, and scrubbed it clean. Even the outside of the vanity got scrubbed. I also washed the walls in that area. It is getting done slowly. 

I was over to family's at 11:30 am to have lunch with daughter-in-law and to be there while their two outside doors were installed. Daughter-in-law had to go for physio. I looked at the windows and door in the in-law suite and they are fabulous. The back door was being installed but it is a nice door also. 

Once home, I wanted to rest and I did for a bit. I was tired from not sleeping well. But, I got up and moved. I had to water the boxes and the pots. Around 8 pm, I went out and sprayed deer deterrent on everything including my rose bush. I also weeded the front bed. 

I noticed that our neighbour had someone in to repair their roof. I went out to the shed and found the shingles for my house and walked over to talk to them. He came over and we walked my property and will be coming next week to do the repairs needed. 

I also had a call from the repair man and they will be fixing the fridge next week. It is the last repair on this fridge. If it works, great. If not I get a new fridge. 

Sewing

I didn't do any sewing yesterday as I was out and about getting things done. 

I did find a couple of ideas to make a table runner and a lap quilt. Both have flying geese in them and should be easy to make. 

Knitting

I did knit on the sock #1 last night and have 10 rounds left to knit to finish the leg. 

Thoughts

    I had a really good night sleep last night. I woke up at 4:45 am. I went back to sleep after that and woke up just before 6 am. I really needed it as I had slept poorly the night before. I also kept busy yesterday which is helping me sleep better. 

    I may have my vegetable boxes given away. My neighbour may take them. Once gone, I will seed the bare spaces in the fall and have green grass in the back yard next year. I will continue to grow some vegetables in pots on the deck. I have enjoyed doing that. 

    I am pushing myself to do more each day. I was moving into a funk/depression. It is hard when you want to sit and do nothing but I notice once I get going, I feel better mentally and physically. I also want to do more each day and have noticed my energy levels have increased quite a bit in the past couple of days. 

    I watched a video yesterday where the lady was making apricot jam/compote. It had me craving ripe apricots picked from the tree. I do miss the fruit trees we had in Ashcroft. 

Today

I need to continue cleaning the bathroom and do laundry. I hope to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. I have no need to go anywhere today. 

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