Yesterday was sunny with a high of 27C (humidex 29C). This morning it is partly cloudy and 14C. Today is supposed to be mix of sun and clouds with a high of 26C (humidex 29C). We are supposed to have showers tonight.
Lifestyle
Yesterday morning I cleaned the fridge. I found two puddles of water; one in the fridge from the ice maker defrosting and the other in the freezer. At 11 am, I turned it on wondering if I would have a fridge that works or a fridge that needed to be replaced. By dinner time, the fridge was cold and the freezer was almost there. I panicked once as I could not hear a noise from it.
I spent the rest of the morning cleaning the living room. What started out as mop the floors ended up being deep cleaned. Windows were washed and the tracks cleaned. They were dirty with dust and pollen. I wiped baseboards, dusted furniture and mopped all the floor either on my hands and knees or with the mop. All I have left to do is wipe the walls and it will be ready to paint.
I was in and out of the garage yesterday as the neighbours brought over the last of their items they needed to store while their house is on the market. They will help me put the soil in the boxes up for free and will take the vegetable boxes with them.
I had to water the cucumber plant as it was drooping in the afternoon. While I was watering it, I noticed I have 2 cucumbers about 3" long.
There are a lot of tiny cucumbers on the two plants.
Sewing
I spent part of the afternoon in the sewing room. I sewed rows 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 together. I fussed a lot making sure that the corners of the blocks matched as close as possible.
When this section is sewn together the quilt top will be half done.
Knitting
I knit last evening and got the gusset done on sock #1.
I am getting ready to choose which yarn I will knit next as I will have to wind it into cakes.
Thoughts
I was a bit skeptical that the fridge would work properly when I turned it on. I will be monitoring it carefully over the next month. I am hoping that it will work properly now that it has defrosted for 48 hours. If not, I will be getting a new fridge. I was advised to keep this one as I had paid for the new part and, if it worked, it was the cheaper route. I do have a new fridge picked out if I need to replace this one.
I was very sore yesterday. It was mainly muscles that hadn't been used as I was squatting in the garage fixing up boxes. Last night I stretched in bed and I had a lot of cracking going on. I kept stretching until it stopped. I was releasing tight joints. A bit was from sitting in the car for 2 days and most was from helping get boxes and tubs into place in the garage. It felt good to have everything relax and be seated properly.
Today
I need to do the balance sheet and go grocery shopping. I don't know how much housework I will get done this morning. My goal is to sew the two sections of the quilt together this afternoon and I will knit tonight. I do have to water all the plants today.
Until the next time.....................................................................
