Midweek And All Is Well

 

One of the choices I made for this year was to get in better shape, or at least lose a few of the extra pounds I seem to have packed on over the last couple of years. 

I really don't drink enough water, so most afternoons so far have seen a glass of water being filled and refilled sitting beside me as I work on a project or two. 

I am also making sure I move a great deal more. Be it walking/marching in place, or doing a few stretches. I will be adding that chair Yoga next month.

Another choice I made was to get a post up fairly early in the day, giving me more time to visit with all of you once the household tasks were completed (or even before in some cases). 

I am thinking about using the blog I set up years ago for my projects, but then wonder what the heck I would post here on those days where I have a lull in, well my thought processes, I guess you could say. I could start one for recipes though so will think on that a bit. 

We are actually getting tiny amounts of sugar on store shelves now. There is a limit of one bag of any type however, so it is a good thing I stocked up for baking. The price seems to have gone up as well, probably because it is scarce and very hard to get. 

I am going to go out this morning and order my new lenses. My eye sight seems to be getting slightly worse and as I do not have dental expenses this month I will get this done and over with. I can still see to thread a needle, but there are scratches on my glasses that are beginning to bother me a bit. 

Still in use it up mode, and I have a feeling that in February there will be another clear out the fridge freezer week or possibly two. I just can't seem to eat something until it is all gone. Instead I pop part in the fridge freezer to enjoy later. Today I will be cutting the Baked Spaghetti up before popping it in the oven (which is still working) and freezing a couple of portions. It is very hard to cook for two after having two extra people for about a week. I think a fridge freezer challenge once every two months would really improve my grocery budget as well as making sure there is less waste going out.

I have a list of goals and projects once again for the month and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all will be completed. I actually have a few done already, but those were simple messaging ones, or phoning to reserve something. Nothing too strenuous at all. If the sky stays sunny most days I can get another block embroidered, and if not I have mindless knitting to do as well. I also copied some free knitting patterns that I want to try. One is for a "Mood Blanket" which is only for 3 months or 180 days. May give that a try down the road. I don't think they have enough colours listed for my moods though.

Enough rambling on. 

Everybody have a wonderful day. 

God bless.
