Nearing The Toe On Sock #1

 Yesterday was snow, rain, mixed snow and rain, and finally rain. The high got to 5C. This morning it is cloudy and 1C (it did dip to -1C during the night). Today is supposed to be cloudy with a few showers this afternoon. The high is supposed to get to 5C.

Lifestyle

I had a slow start yesterday morning. I did do more inventory for daughter but my slow start was mainly due to tiredness. I did get going and cleaned up the kitchen so it was spotless. I am trying to keep up on it. 

My next job was to fold laundry and put it away. It was a lot as I had let it accumulate. Not a good idea. But I am now caught up and that makes me happy. 

I had a good nap in the afternoon. I couldn't keep my eyes open so I crashed for a while. I felt much better when I woke up. Less than 5 hours of sleep is not enough to push through the day. 

I had muscle cramps yesterday. In my left hand and over my ribs. I did increase the amount of salt in my diet. I eliminated too much too quick. I measured every salty item I used to make my meals. A pinch of salt on my eggs and some seasonings that have salt in my dinner. I will continue to monitor how much salt I use and allow myself to have some if it keeps the cramps at bay. 

Sewing

I slept rather than sew. 

Carol, I did look at the Christmas tree skirt at Pattern Review.  I downloaded the pattern and will watch the video to see if I will make it instead of the one I had chosen. I have my fabrics chosen so need to see if they will fit into this design. 

Knitting

I did knit on the socks yesterday evening. I have 10 rounds left to knit on the foot and then I will start on the toe. 

I didn't knit on the afghan as I was having muscle cramps in my hand and knew the weight of the afghan would make them worse. 

Thoughts

    Yesterday was dark and gloomy. I had to have the lights on in the house all day. It was also damp which seemed to creep inside. It was probably because I was tired that I felt cold. I need to get use to it as this could be our weather until the end of December and then it will be snow. 

    I have enough of the household inventory done for daughter that I will now start looking at value. I have to guess as everything is supposed to be at a used value. This means what would it sell at a garage sale or Facebook Marketplace. Some I have no idea and others I can figure out quite easily. More fun and games for me. 

    I have been in Nova Scotia for 9 years now. I do love living here but there are times I do miss BC. I still love my house though I do know it is too big for one person. 

Today

I am going into the city with daughter-in-law to shop for sandwiches for tomorrow and for a catered dinner on Thursday. Once home, I will need to go to the pharmacy to get my medications refilled. I may sew if I have time. I will knit tonight. 

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