Happy Sunday! How is everyone doing today? I had a wonderful and productive week I want to tell you about.
Monday - This is always my day to take Josh to his therapy appointment. We are now traveling a bit further for this appointment but that is fine. It gives us more time together to talk about a plethora of subjects. This is also one of the times I get to have some waiting room crafting time. After I dropped him off at home, I took a stroll around Sam's club, picking up the few items we needed. What a great way to get my 30 minute daily walk in! I worked on making starfish and baby sea turtles for the blanket I completed last week. I was not able to get a good photo of the starfish as they keep curling but here is the baby sea turtle.
Tuesday - We had another Landscaper come and give us an estimate for making our front yard a thing of beauty. Other than that, I worked on my craft projects and cleaned out our fridge. Cleaning out the fridge is one of my favorite chores. I get all sorts of meal ideas while doing 'inventory' of items in there.
Wednesday - This was errand day for me. I went to the post office to send back an item that was not as advertised. From there I went to UPS to return several Amazon items that were not to my liking. (clothes that were way too large) Next was a quick stop at my BFF's house to drop off some coupons I knew she would use and we wouldn't. My last stop was Costco. Another opportunity to get in my 30 minute walk. Not to mention grabbing some needed items again. I finished my puzzle!
This will be the last one I will work on until after Thanksgiving. I need the dining room table for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Thursday - Finally was able to complete my nuclear stress test! I am so done with all the testing that has happened since June when I ended up in the hospital with AFib. This was the last of the tests needed to be done. Now I sit and wait for results. I do not see the Cardiologist until January! Hopefully, if anything is really wrong, I will be notified before then. But, this did give me some more waiting room knitting time.
Friday - Grocery shopping day! Another day to get my 30 minutes of walking in. I find walking around a store is much more fun than walking around my neighborhood. This was another day to finish one of my projects.
My toe socks. I find it interesting that one has a zig zag pattern and the other is just a pooling line. Same skein of yarn. I decided to go with the toe socks to see how the yarn responded. I do like the yarn and it was not splitty as many cotton yarns are. These are just a little too loose so will decrease the stitch count by 4 or 8 stitches next time. Thinking the next socks will be RCR from this yarn and if anything is left over I will do more toe socks. I wear toe socks 90% of the time.
Saturday - Hubby and I both woke up at 4:30am! That worked out well for us. We got up and I managed to mix up a loaf of SD bread. We left around 6 to pick up the food for our church's food bank. After we got home, I got 2 loads of laundry completed and baked the SD loaf of bread. We went to Mass in the evening and then returned home to relax. I worked on my RCR sock and TA-DA
I finished sock #2 about 11:30pm. So glad to have them done and off the needles.
Today - I have been working on this blog since 9am. There was an interruption when one of my cousins called to let me know she could not get in touch with her brother. Hubby and I did a wellness check only to find out he had been taken by ambulance to the hospital about 7 this morning. Since I am his Medical Power of Attorney, I was a bit dismayed that I had not been contacted. So, now the search as to which hospital. There are 7 hospitals in our immediate area. We got lucky and found him at the second one we called. We went to go and see him only to find out they have no clue what is wrong with him. He has a test tomorrow morning and hopefully they do not find anything there and let him go home.
It is now 2:30pm and I am finishing up cooking lunch. Luckily, dinner is in the crockpot so I will not need to hurry to get that done.
Here is your funny for the week
Until Next Time.........................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do love your funnies. They always make me chuckle and sometimes even a belly laugh. I've never thought of toe socks before. Do you wear them with sandals? Your baby turtle is so cute. Sorry it's not working out the way you imagined for the blanket. One advantage of being retired is I no longer worry about not being able to go to sleep or waking up at 3am and not being able to go back to sleep. Just means I get to do some extra knitting. I'm never so tired that I need to take a nap so I'm guessing it's not an issue for my health.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cousin is doing better. I loved all the socks you completed. Hopefully this week brings you only joy.
ReplyDeleteMarsha, I don't know if this would be an acceptable turtle alternative, but check out this link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sea-turtle-applique-2
ReplyDeleteHopefully the other creatures will lay flatter and Becki’s other turtle will work out. I hope all is well with your cousin. The RCRs look great. These are the first time I’ve seen toe socks so I hadn’t known what to expect…in my mind I’d thought they were going to have individual knitted toes on the end of a pair of socks. Like gloves for your feet. Now it makes sense seeing what they really are. Liz (Highlandheffalump)
ReplyDeleteOh I hope your cousin is OK, it must have been worrying. The socks look great!
