One Runner Top Completed

 Yesterday was sunny and hot. The high got to 33C (humidex 39C). This morning it is clear and 17C. Today is supposed to be sunny and hot with a high of 33C (humidex 37C). 

Lifestyle

My first job yesterday was to water all the plants. I also picked the grape tomatoes. 

It was out the door to get groceries before it got too hot. I whipped through my grocery store as there weren't a lot of people there. It was back home to put away everything. By then my back was sore -- SI joint was tight. But, I had more to do and put the sprinkler and watering can into the shed. At that point, I called it a morning. 

I made a small salad using half of the grape tomatoes, some cucumber and red onion. All from my garden. 

I added Greek dressing and enjoyed it with my dinner. 

My SI joint(s) were very sore yesterday and I am not sure what was causing it to happen. I spent the day trying to walk it off but to no avail. At bedtime, I did two small exercises and there was a lot of grinding in my SI joints. Pain gone. I rolled over and slept all night. 

Sewing

I spent most of the afternoon sewing. I cut fabric and made 9 patches. I sewed them to squares of fabric and then sewed the rows together. I now have a top sewn which will be for my dresser. 

I also cut the and sewed the binding for this runner. It is set aside for now and I will start on the next one. 

Knitting

I picked up the stitches for the gusset on sock #2 with very few issues. The lighting was good enough that I could see everything without struggling. I also knit 15 rounds and only had to unknit 2 rounds as I forgot to decrease on one side. 

I will have to start thinking about the next pair of socks to knit as I will have to wind the yarn for them. 

Thoughts

    I did look in the storage/maintenance room but did nothing. I couldn't lift things without my back spasming. I had put it through enough when grocery shopping. I have a few things I can put into a box and take out to the garage for when I go to the thrift store. I will work through the rest slowly. 

    I have looked at a few recipes to make when this heat wave is gone. I am eating cold foods right now as hot foods are not what I want. I am looking forward to cooking some new recipes when it is cooler. 

    I had thought of going to Newfoundland this fall. Due to the wildfires in the area I wanted to visit, I won't be going. I am hoping the wildfires will be under control soon. Eastern Newfoundland is dry and is classified as having moderate drought conditions. 

Today

I need to water my plants shortly while it is cool outside. I want to do some housework this morning and then sew this afternoon. I hope to knit tonight. It is going to be another hot day so I will stay inside as much as possible and water the plants at least two more times.  

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