A Busy Day

 Yesterday was cold with a high of -10C (windchill -16C). This morning it is mostly cloudy and -13C (windchill -18C). Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with some flurries and a high of -10C (windchill -24C this morning and -18C this afternoon). 

Lifestyle

It was an inside day yesterday for me. I started laundry early and finished it in late afternoon. Each load washed and rinsed for nearly 2 hours making sure everything was really clean. It is all folded ready for me to put away or set aside to donate. It was a big job and I am glad it is behind me. 

While laundry was on, I stripped down a bbq chicken. The carcass and dark meat are in the freezer ready to make soup this week. The white meat was for dinner last night and tonight. 

My friend was over to return my house key. We visited for 90 minutes. I gave her some small gifts I had bought at artisan's booths in Montevideo. She was thrilled to get them. She leaves for Ontario near the end of the month so we will be having dinner together before she leaves. 

I broke down and had a nap in the afternoon. I was falling asleep on the couch so went and laid on the bed. It did help me a lot. I didn't realize how tired I was until I got home. Between the heat, allergies, the cough, and lack of sleep I got more exhausted than I had thought I was. 

Sewing

I took the fabrics, trim, and yarn down to the sewing room. I looked around, after I had put everything away and walked out. I was too tired to look at my projects. I will get there as soon as I can. 

Knitting

I picked up the gusset stitches and got 5 rounds knit last night. 

I am enjoying knitting again and will try to do more rounds each night. 

I did look at my book I forgot at home and the only mistake I made was not knitting enough rounds on the legs of the sock. Not too bad considering I was working from memory. 

Thoughts

    I was cold yesterday due to the cold weather. I bundled up good and didn't have the heat too high. I will get climatized to the cold as the days go on. I didn't go out yesterday as the windchill was more than I could handle. I am not sure if I will go out today or not. 

    I am trying to eat healthy now that I am at home. I have a few things to change in my diet and I need to move daily. It is going to be a journey for me as I work on keeping fit and loosing some more weight. I am going to set a goal for the month and try to meet it. 

Today

I am trying to get an appointment with the dentist so I can have what ever is going on in my mouth removed. I would like to get some groceries to get me through until Wednesday. I have laundry to put away and a few things to do. I am hoping I can do some sewing this afternoon and knit tonight. 

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