Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a lovely cool breeze. The high got to 20C (humidex 22C). This morning it is cloudy and 13C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with some showers. The high is to get to 21C.
Lifestyle
I did a bit of research on my family and kept getting no hints on everyone but one person. I wonder if Ancestry was having issues or if there is no hints for these people. With that happening, I left for New Minas.
My drive to New Minas was delightful. I didn't drive overly fast and enjoyed looking at things. I did go back and look at the house I had talked about. People do live there. I am hoping they are enjoying a beautifully renovated home.
At New Minas, I went to Giant Tiger to get canned turkey. The lady showed me and said there were only 8 or 9 cans left. I grabbed them all. I also did some snooping around and found a bunch more on a shelf. I ended up buying 19 cans. They were $2.00 off the original price.
My next stop was at Michaels. I got what I wanted there and snooped around. They are getting ready to have a fabric aisle in the store. They moved the ribbons down to the yarn area and across from the ribbons they have a huge amount of trims. I did look at them but wasn't buying any. I noticed that there were very few flowers and a lot of the summer items are discounted. I bought only what I had on my list and left.
My last stop was the grocery store to get lunch and a new spoon rest. I also got daughter a dish for snacks or cookies. My lunch was a bust. I bought a caesar turkey wrap that had no dressing in it. Good thing I had a pop to drink with it as it was dry.
After I got home, I did the balance sheet. I thought I had been spending more money but I haven't been. Everything balanced on the first try and I was happy it was done.
Sewing
I went down and cleaned up the cutting table. I put the scraps into a bin on the shelf under the cutting table. I also put away all the thread I was using. Then I got to work and cut out a jar cozy and a small hot pad from the left over fabric I bought for the bag I had made. The fusible fleece is attached and both are ready to be made. I will have to make binding for the hot pad and have enough of the purple fabric to make it.
Knitting
I did knit last night. I think I knit between 8 and 12 rows. The ball of yarn is almost gone and the afghan measures 22" in length.
Thoughts
I had a good think about June to date. I was starting over this month with better eating habits, less self inflicted stress, and was hoping for better sleep. I allowed myself to be stressed out over things I can't control. This has affected my health which includes not sleeping well. I ate poorly but much to my surprise I only gained .3 lb from my lowest weight earlier this month. I am back on track for eating and am trying not to get stressed over things. I just need to get my sleep under control. I was awake again last night thinking about things that I didn't need to think about. They weren't even things I was worrying about.
I did buy cucumber seeds and put 4 into the one container I have the little plants in. I will water the other container and plant 4 more seeds in it and also put out the little plants I have. I do know cucumbers are hard to transplant and this year I am having problems which I haven't had in the past. Part has been the wind we've had lately. Just enough to affect the seedlings.
Today
I have to do some things this morning -- garbage, fuel the car, water plants and fold laundry. I will probably have a sleep after lunch as I have a meeting tonight. I may get some sewing done but am not sure about knitting due to the meeting.
Until the next time...................................................
