Yesterday was warm and humid with a high of 26C (humidex 32C). This morning it is cloudy and 18C. Today is supposed to be sunny and hot with a high of 29C (humidex 34C).
Lifestyle
I was out with daughter-in-law yesterday to buy a new fridge. Our first stop was for her massage where I sat in the car and knit. Then it was lunch and on to buying the fridge.
I told the sales person I was on a budget and which fridge I liked. I didn't have to haggle a lot as he started to discount it rapidly. With taxes and extended warranty I got it for less than I had expected. I am hoping it will arrive by late September.
Our next stops were to look for luggage. We went to Marshall's first. I was shocked at how much fall/Halloween decor they had. We snooped around it a bit before heading to the luggage. We found one that I liked at a great price and I bought it. It is green. Daughter-in-law liked it also.
Next store we found a blue glass pumpkin and 4 bags of son's favourite potato chips. Third store we found nothing. The last store we went to we headed to the luggage and while daughter-in-law was tying her shoelace, I found the luggage I had bought in black. We cheered, bought it.
Our last stop was to order daughter-in-law new glasses. I will be buying my next glasses there. What I paid for my glasses, she got 2 pairs one of which are gradient lenses for wearing outdoors.
We got home after 3:30 pm and I was tired. Then I got hungry and knew that I had to have supper at my regular time. When I did my glucose level I was 4.8 and dropping. I did do portion control and felt great after I ate.
Sewing
None done yesterday.
Knitting
I finished the 2nd sock and weaved in the yarn ends on both socks last night. I am glad to have them done.
I have these 3 balls of left over yarn on the couch and I am going to weigh them. If I have enough, I will make a pair of socks from them.
Thoughts
Our area didn't get any rain yesterday though the part of Halifax we were in got some lovely showers. They have had enough moisture that the leaves on the trees are starting to turn red. We are hoping we will get some rain soon.
I could not believe how much fall/Halloween decor was out in the stores we were in. It was overwhelming. I kept looking but I didn't buy anything. I will look for fall napkins and buy some fresh flowers for my fall decor. I have an idea for placemats which I will start buying the fabric for. I want them to be ones I can use all year.
I am back on track with my eating. It was hard to get going as I was having an internal fight with myself. Sometimes I wished I hadn't listened to the dietician about eating trigger foods. I knew better but thought I could control them. But I couldn't. They are now gone from the house. I am also tracking what I eat each day and doing portion control. I have lost 5 lbs since starting again. I am now focusing on the next 5 lbs.
Today
I am going to divide my time between the deck and the family room. Both need doing and I can do the deck while it is cool and the family room while it is too warm to be outside. This afternoon I want to quilt the runner and put on the binding. If I have time, I will cut out the stripe fabric for the doll outfit. Tonight I will start knitting a hat for the doll's coat I made a while ago.
Until the next time............................................................
