A Weird Weather Day

 Yesterday was cloudy and windy with a high of 22C. This morning it is clear and 11C. Today is supposed to be mainly sunny and windy with a high of 26C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday's weather was eery. The sky wasn't really grey but kind of yellowish. The wind came in from the NE and the barometric pressure was dropping. The air felt funny. It left me feeling like I could have a massive headache at any time but it never developed. Hurricane Erin was giving us the outer edges of her storm. 

I did clean up the kitchen and folded the laundry but I didn't do much else until after lunch. I did sit with my eyes closed and rested hoping the feeling of the headache would leave. It wouldn't. It hung like a weight around my head. 

I did go shopping after lunch. The store was busy and full of people who didn't know what they wanted or needed or so it seemed. People were probably shopping so they could leave for their summer places last night. The last weekend before Labour Day weekend. 

Once home I noticed that my fridge was sitting just in the danger zone. I monitored it and it is still there this morning. I have let the appliance repair man know and have moved some food to the small fridge. I will be moving more shortly. I will probably have to get a new fridge. 

I sat on the couch and rested my eyes some more. As the barometric pressure levelled off, I started to feel better. The wind was still blowing from the NE at the same speed but the air felt less electrifying. 

Sewing

I did not sew yesterday. I couldn't think about doing anything like that without making a massive mess out of it. It is waiting patiently for me. 

Knitting

As my head cleared I was able to pick up the sock and knit on it. I had mistakes to fix along the way but I got 50 rounds knit. 

Knitting 2 socks from 1 ball of yarn has been interesting. I haven't had any issues with it. If I was to start knitting socks from a full ball, I would start sock #1 from the outside of the skein and sock #2 from the inside. I do know this will not work for striping yarn as you are not knitting the same way through the yarn. They are coming from opposite ends of the ball. 

Thoughts

    I looked out at the evergreen tree in a neighbour's yard. It is full of cones. I wonder if we will be having a hard winter.

My daughter said their trees are the same this year. 

    The rain from the next disturbance doesn't look promising. Showers at the best, nothing at the worst. I saw a map that said we need nearly 20" of rain to fall to get over the drought conditions we are experiencing. It would be nice if we could get it this fall and winter as we usually get 55" of rain in a year. So far, not this year. 

Today

I am hoping to get some things done this morning. I want to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. I am hoping for a more productive day than I had yesterday. 

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