Yesterday was gloriously sunny with a high of -2C (windchill -8C). This morning it is clear and -6C (winchill -10C). Today is supposed to sunny with a high of 2C. We are to have snow flurries tonight.
Lifestyle
I had a busy morning. First I had to clean my glasses fas wiping them clean with grimy gloves leaves them filthy. I saw my Fitbit and decided to give it another chance before tossing it into the pile of electronics to go to recycling. I put it on the charger and much to my amazement it started to charge. I kept checking it all morning and it kept charging. I put it on as soon as it was 100% charged and it is still working. Not sure why it stopped working but I am sure happy to have it working again.
My big job of the morning was to tackle the stairs and front entry. I put away paint containers, mitts and toques that were languishing on the stairs. I scrubbed the stairs and floor on my hands and knees. Let me tell you it was dirty from us going in and out the front door. I am happy that job is done and hope to keep it cleaner in the future.
I also spent 30 minutes in the basement as I need a box to put items in to for the thrift store. I took one box full of stuff into the family room and sorted the contents. I have half a box of stuff to go to the thrift store from that sort. What is left will be sold in the garage sale in the spring. I also found another box that I will sort through today and put all the garage sale items in it. One box gone will make me happy.
I headed out around 2:30 pm to scrape the ice off the driveway. It was patches that were left behind. As I was scraping away, a lady stopped and introduced herself to me. She is the mother of the doctor who lives behind me. A very nice lady. She is excited as her daughter is having a baby this spring and she will be helping look after it when it's time for her daughter to go back to work. She works part time in our local hospital and has her own practice locally.
Sewing
The Edwardian blouse was started and I spent a lot of time on it. I got the front shoulder seams gathered and sewn to the back. I also sewed on the front button bands and the 2 piece collar. It was a lot of finicky sewing.
Knitting
The sleeve of the doll's sweater is starting to show how big the leg of mutton sleeves will be. I am slowly knitting on it when I have a few minutes.
Thoughts
I am not sure what went wrong with my Fitbit. I could not get it to restart using the directions from support or what I found online. Putting it away seemed to have fixed the problem/woke it up. I did nothing to it when I put it on the charger. The only thing I did after charging it was to turn off the sleep mode.
Though it is still cool here, the sun has warmth to it. I was out scraping ice wearing only a fleece jacket and I was warm. I am enjoying it but do know we could have more snow between now and Easter. That is a given for Nova Scotia.
I went back to using the WW's app to track what I am eating. I was overeating and my weight wasn't coming off. It reminds we of what portion sizes are when I plan my meals for the day. I am back to no snacking and I am trying to do more movement each day.
Today
I have laundry to do and will start cleaning and purging the spare bedroom. I will also spend 20 minutes dealing with a box in the basement. It is the one I will put items in to sell. This afternoon I want to sew on the doll's shirt and I will knit on the doll's sweater and the scarf.
Until the next time...................................................................
