Out To A Quilter's Guild Meeting

 Yesterday was a day of rain and showers. The sun did try to peak through the clouds for a few seconds. The high got to 14C. This morning it is cloudy, windy, and 9C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 11C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning I got the 2nd closet in my bedroom cleaned. It wasn't bad as I had done a big cleaning on it earlier in the year. I have a few boxes to toss. One of the things I did do was sort through the Christmas gifts I have bought and put them into their boxes so I can ship them late next month. 

Once I had done with the closet, I wiped down all the furniture and the window ledge. There was some dust on all of it. The room is now ready to have the walls washed. 

After lunch I laid down and had a nap. I was tired for some unknown reason. Part was from a poorer night's sleep and some was from the dull grey day. I did wake up feeling better.

In the evening I was out to the quilter's guild meeting. They are 2 hours long which is a tad long for me. There is the meeting, a short presentation, and show and tell. The meeting was good. The presentation had its issues. The presenter couldn't get the power point presentation to fill the screen so no one could read what she was presenting. Most of what she was talking about I was familiar with. Show and tell was spectacular with many showing the beautiful quilts they have made. At least 5 of them will be sent to Africa (charity quilts). Many of these ladies quilt for hours each day. 

I did not sew or knit yesterday. 

Thoughts

    It rained more than anticipated yesterday. When driving to the guild meeting it was quite foggy in spots. The drive home was much better as it had quit raining. We will have more rain tomorrow night. At the moment, we are going into winter with lots of moisture in the ground. 

    The fruit flies have been unreal this year. I have seen them in spaces where no food is available. I put out a dish of apple cider vinegar and there are around 100 dead fruit flies in it this morning. I also poured a lot of boiling water down the kitchen drain. I have heard a few comments on how bad they have been in other people's houses. I wonder if the warm damp weather we had earlier was perfect for them to reproduce quickly. The only other bug complaint I heard this year was how many earwigs were around. I noticed them everywhere this summer also. 

    I had very little pain in my muscles yesterday. No pain in my SI joint. Nothing even with the storm that came in. I am hoping that I am on the road to having this problem over and done with. We wait and see. 

Today

My plan today is to wash the walls in my bedroom. I hope to do some planning and cutting for the Christmas placemat I want to have for the guild's contest. I hope that I have enough energy to knit tonight. I don't always sleep well after being out to an evening meeting. 

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