Another Trip Around The Sun

 Yesterday was started out sunny and was cloudy with a few drops of rain mid afternoon. The high got to 11C. This morning it is cloudy and 5C. Today is supposed to have showers this morning and rain (possible freezing rain) this afternoon with the temperature dropping to 4C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning I did my yoga exercise and I had 3 cracks while doing them. I was a bit less stiff than the day before. I even got up off the floor easier. In 24 hours, I have had 8 cracks in my right side. I was so stressed that I had tightened my body up causing joints and muscles to react in a bad way. 

I went out for lunch with my friend as it was my birthday. I wasn't celebrating even though I turned 75. We had a lovely lunch and she got 75% off my meal. We did have some good laughs and talked about a lot of things. 

I got these beautiful flowers from daughter for my birthday. 

Sorry about the mess you can see but I have cleaned it all up. 

I was over to see family for a bit. They are doing well and their sense of humour has returned. Daughter-in-law said I will get my birthday gift on Friday and son said I could have it now. He picked up a beanie chair with the cat in it to give to me. We all howled with laughter over that as he is always trying to give the cat away. 

My back cracked several times in bed last night. I was happy that it did that. What surprised me was the loud crack from my knee. It released and has much more flexibility today. It allowed me to have some restorative sleep last night. My back is sore this morning as we have a storm coming in today. 

Sewing

I did sew a bit yesterday morning. I gathered the waist on the front of the skirt and I spent more time cursing at the thread. It kept slipping as it is 100% polyester. I did get the waist band sewn on but had to rip back a small piece as the top of the skirt folded over and peaked on the outside. I did learn a lesson about using Glide thread for gathering a seam -- don't use it. I didn't take a picture as I had to get ready to go out for lunch. 

Knitting

I knit 10 rounds on the hat last night. I now have about 5" knit on it. 

It is definitely going to be a warm hat. 

Thoughts

    After doing my yoga exercises, I laid on the mat and cried my eyes out for a good 10 minutes. It helped release all the feelings I was having. I was able to park everything into what I call my neutral zone and move on with the things I need to do. I have to let daughter and grandson solve their own problems individually without me interfering. Daughter and I chat during the day and grandson will chat with me when he is ready to. 

    March is going to go out like a lion. There is a storm coming in today and tomorrow. We are luckier than parts of Nova Scotia who will get snow and freezing rain. I did look back at the weather for the end of March and it has ranged from being very warm to cool and wet. Not pattern can be found. 

Today

I have to do yoga this morning and then I will go downstairs and start cleaning part of the family room. I can do one area as it is ready for me to finish wiping the ledge, vacuum the floor and mop it. I want to finish the doll's skirt/petticoat this afternoon and will knit tonight. 

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