Why Oh Why?

 Yesterday was a mix of snow and rain in the morning and rain in the afternoon. The high got to 7C. This morning it is raining and 6C. Today is supposed to be wet and cooling off to 4C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning was tough. I got the news that grandson was on his flight from Korea to Toronto to Halifax. As he boarded the plane, he told his parents he wasn't coming home and that he had a plan. He has cut off communication and we don't know where he is. The only given we have is that his luggage will be unloaded in Halifax. I will try to reach out to him sometime today. 

With that stress under my belt, I headed downstairs and scrubbed the living daylights out of the 4 family room windows. They are sparkling clean with no mould to be seen. 

I spent the afternoon in Halifax with daughter-in-law. We had to get the groceries for the dinner at the hall on Saturday. We talked all the way in. We thought we would need an hour in one store as it is usually busy but we were in and out in about 20 minutes. It was quiet in there. 

We did walk the Halifax mall. We did a couple of stores and left. We stopped in Sackville to get a few more things for the dinner and headed to Upper Sackville for daughter-in-law's osteopathy appointment. There was still fresh snow on the ground there. 

I bought dinner for family and we headed home to eat. 

Knitting

I cast on the next project which is a hat. I got 2 rounds done. 

I do not like the yarn as it is 50% cotton and 50% polyester. All the yarn is going into the yard sale as I know I will not knit it. There are several balls another in another colour that will also go into the yard sale. 

I watched Knitty Natty's video on her stash update. She has updated her template and showed how she is tracking the yarn she is knitting. I have downloaded the new template and will use it. I have a bit of back tracking to do on the old template and then will copy all the information into the new template. I will need a bit of time to do that. 

Thoughts

    My stress level is very high at the moment. I have not had any anxiety or panic attacks. I am close to having them but keep doing self talking. I am worried about my son and daughter-in-law as this has been very hard on them. Add in daughter's issues and I know I need to keep strong to support them. 

    Our weather has gone from snow to rain. I am hoping that the rain means our weather will be warmer and the spring flowers will start to peek through the ground. I am so looking forward to seeing colour once again. 

Today

I am off to the hall to help set up for the community dinner tomorrow night. When that is done I need to go grocery shopping. I may get to sew a bit this afternoon and I will knit tonight. 

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