Yesterday was a lovely sunny day with a high of 18C. Last night, we had storm move through. This morning it is cloudy and 12C. Today is supposed to be sunny and 17C.
Lifestyle
Daughter-in-law arrived yesterday morning for a short visit. She was gone after having her tea as she had a list of things to do.
I got ready and headed out a bit early to get my RSV shot. If they were sticking to a tight schedule, I would do my grocery shopping first. But they weren't so my neighbour administer the vaccine. We had a short talk and I went to do my grocery shopping.
While grocery shopping I experienced a hot spell and then a few minutes I was cold. The vaccine was working. I headed home with my groceries, put them away, and sat on the couch. I was done for the day. I am achy today but that will go away. At least I am now protected. Two vaccines down, one more to go.
The storm that came in was quite the storm. The wind came up and it rained a bit around 8 pm. Then a lull. Then the main storm hit. Wind, thunder, lightening, and heavy rains went on for about an hour and then it was just rain. At one point, I looked out the window and I could see the rain being blown across the road both on the ground and in the air. The lightening was spectacular for us. The sky lit up making it look like early evening. The thunder moved in close to us but not directly on top of us. We haven't had a rain like this for a long time.
Sewing
I was downstairs to the sewing room to see if I could figure out if I had enough fabric for the quilt. I got the print ironed and measured. I don't have enough. I am short 4 blocks. I am thinking of looking for another print and alternating the two prints and then using them here and there in the small blocks.
I need to order starch as I want to starch the fabrics. I probably won't get it starched before we leave but I may surprise myself.
Knitting
I did knit on and off during the day. It was a slow knit but I did finish the gusset decreases. I am now starting the foot.
Thoughts
The vaccine hit me a bit harder than I had expected. I was forewarned it would happen. I will be slow today as I have a lot of sore muscles. I will be more prepared next year for what I will experience. And next year I get the vaccine free. It is an expensive vaccine but I think it is necessary =to have.
My lawn gets limed today to help the ph balance which went up due to the drought. It is a perfect day as the lawn is wet and the aeration should have helped put the moisture deep into the soil. The lime should seep deep into the soil; at least I hope it does.
I found sugar free lozenges to suck on while flying. Son told me I don't need to bring any food as we can get food in the lounges and will be fed on the plane. He said the food was good and I can get bottled water to drink while on the plane.
Today
I need to see if I can buy Uruguay pesos for our trip. I have the washer rewashing laundry I did yesterday and forgot about (thanks vaccine). I am not sure what else I will get done today but I am hoping to keep busy. I do know I will knit tonight.
Until the next time......................................................................
