Yesterday was more cloudy than sunny but the sun did shine some during the day. The high got to 7C. This morning it is cloudy and 5C. Today is supposed to have showers this morning and the cloudy. The high is to get to 7C.
Lifestyle
I went to New Minas and handed in the paw stocking at the quilt shop. Everyone loved it and one person asked for the pattern. We learn so much from each other. I looked at the stocking 3 of the staff made and they are gorgeous. I will do pictures when they are all completed. They have moved from calling it a contest to a challenge and the staff are enjoying putting them on.
I left and then went to get prepaid boxes from the post office and headed home. I did notice that the leaves are almost off all the trees. The leaves that are left are brown or dull yellow. The splendour of fall is over with and we are now settling down for a new view to look at while driving.
Once home, I had lunch and went to pick up son. He had the car so he could find a place to fix his truck. He did some phone calls and found one place. I ordered the tow truck through my CAA membership. It arrived later than anticipated as it came from the Halifax area. The driver was a hoot and the truck was loaded and gone.
We had our monthly meeting at the hall. Only 5 people showed up but it was a lively meeting. Lots of laughs and chuckles.
I did do a bunch of cleaning out in the pantry and fridge. I read labels for sodium and what ever chemicals that are hard on my kidneys. What saddened me is not being allowed to have canned tomatoes at this time. I had my heart set on making a spaghetti sauce. I also did the fridge and got some items out of it but still have a couple of jars to get rid of. I did get a few items of food that I can have. Right now it is limiting but I am coping. Next week I will figure out some more foods to buy.
Sewing
None done yesterday. I do need to finish the doll's jeans. I need to watch the video on the tree skirt I want to make. I would love to start it later next week.
Knitting
While waiting for the tow truck, I sat and knit on the socks. I got 10 rounds done on the foot.
I also knit on the afghan last night and got 4 rows done on it. The ball of yarn is getting smaller and I do hope I will be starting a new ball in a night or two.
Thoughts
I did incredibly well with food yesterday. I had less salt than I usually do and I had been working on keeping it below the daily limit. I grabbed seasonings and used them instead of the salt. It wasn't bad but it will take some getting use to. Salt does add a nicer flavour to your food. Processed foods are definitely out and I need to figure out some foods for dinner when I am tired or busy. Also eating a lot of chicken is going to be a challenge.
My SI joint is a bit tight this morning and that could be from sitting a lot yesterday. I did do my exercises and will need to do them a couple of times today. I don't want the pain to cause stress on my body.
Our temperatures have gone back to more normal for this time of the year. It is not time for the winter coat but a lighter one may not be enough at times. I alternate between wearing a lighter jacket and a heavier fleece.
Today
I am out this morning to make sandwiches and will help set up the hall for the celebration of life. Once home, I have some housework to do. I may sew this afternoon and tonight I am out to the quilter's guild meeting. A late night for me.
Until the next time.............................................................................
