Tired Enough Not To Sew

Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of -3C. The temperature dropped after that. This morning it is cloudy and -10C. (windchill -16C). Today is going to be a mix of sun and clouds with wind this afternoon. The high will get to -4C. 

Lifestyle 

I had a busy morning. I got a load of laundry on and then went and finished cleaning the bathroom. I had Rosie vacuum the room and then I mopped it. The floors are dirty but not filthy. Happy with that room, I put the load of laundry into the dryer and put on the next load. 

I also cleaned the kitchen and took out all the garbage. The cleaning in the kitchen was more maintenance cleaning with a focus on the stove top. I wanted to deep clean it. Once all that was done, I set Rosie to vacuum and then I mopped. 

While out in the garage sorting recycling into their proper bins, I got the WD-40 and decided that I would see if it would help the front door lock. I couldn't get the key in to unlock it on Sunday night. I gave the lock a few shots of WD-40 and then gave the key a shot. The key slid into the lock perfectly. I was so happy to have that fixed. I will do a test run this morning before I go out. 

I threw salt on the driveway so it could melt the ice on it. The "snow" was actually ice. I didn't want that on the driveway as it is to snow 1 to 1.5" tonight. It did snow last night but most of it has blown off the driveway this morning. 

I went to the dentist after lunch and had my teeth cleaned. The technician got X-rays without me gagging too much. No cavities to be seen. She used the lasted method to clean my teeth. She was impressed at how strong my teeth are which is from me drinking water with fluoride in it for 8 years. The dentist did a check up also and was pleased with me. She said all the little bits of tooth are out and the site is healing well. Next visit is in 6 months. 

Once home, I rested as I was tired. I haven't been sleeping all that well and have pushed myself to get things done. I allowed myself to rest until it was time to make dinner. I made 3 meals of chicken with peppers and onions. I destroyed the kitchen which I cleaned to within an inch of its life after dinner. 

Sewing

I didn't sew yesterday as I was too tired. 

Knitting

I did knit on the socks and am almost done the toe. I have 5 rows of decreasing to do and then graft it together. 

I should get it finished tonight and then start sock #2. 

Thoughts

    I now have both the bathroom and kitchen cleaned and am working on keeping them clean. I am finding that if I spend a bit of time daily in those rooms they stay clean. Next is the dining area which needs a good cleaning. 

    I am hoping the front lock will be okay for a while. I do need a new front door unit but it will be a big expense. I will add a touch pad lock to it. I am still thinking about what colour I want the door. I had chosen brown but wonder if I will have too many shades of brown on the house. I keep thinking of a light denim blue. I continue to think on this. 

    We have a cold spell coming in but it isn't as cold as they first predicted. They said -20C on Saturday night but now are saying -17C. I know I will be sore as it is to rain and be warm tomorrow before it gets cold. 

Today

I am out this morning for osteopathy and hope to do a bit of shopping either in Sackville or at home. I am not sure if I will sew today as I could be sore from osteopathy but do know I will knit. I am going to let the day unfold and go with the flow. 

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