Life got away from me yesterday and I did not get a post up. I suppose that happens.
Part of the reason was I really wanted to get the loom warped and that actually took more time than I thought. Plus I was trying to get all the laundry and cleaning done as well. Funny how much laundry we have when neither of us work outside the house any longer. Or perhaps the going up and down the stairs takes longer. Who knows, I sure don't.
Today will be our last fairly decent day of the week. Things are going to get colder. Much colder in fact. This does mean no trip to the city to visit with Kris, but he is supposed to phone me tonight and we will set up another weekend to visit. I am actually hoping for the last weekend of this month. We would go up at a time that we would arrive when he got off work, and probably stay until either mid Sunday or early Monday. Just hope that will be okay.
Other than the usual housework and getting my loom set up once again, the days have passed by with the usual regularity. Things get done, things get postponed until later in the week.
I am working on decluttering by using things up to make items that are useful, if not to me to someone else. I do hope that counts as I used three skeins/balls of yarn warping my loom for the rug. I hope to use up much more on this project. The little bits of yarn I have in a chest of drawers are being used up to knit the mitts. Soon I hope to be working on using up more fabric and clearing more of that out. I have now reached 120 items gone from storage in the house. The mitts and rug will be leaving at some point, and some of the fabric will also be made into items that will be leaving the house as well.
The weather was nasty on Sunday, but after Mass I went shopping. Only to our local Co-op which is only a couple of blocks away and managed to get almost all I needed. There were a few item that were not available and I did have to spend a bit more, but I am satisfied and if I don't have what I need to make the meals, I will substitute something else. I have also been busy using things up in the fridge which is a big plus.
Off to get supper on the table, and then it will be time for a visit with all of you.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Frigid weather, at least gets things done around the house.
From reading blogs, cold temperatures and snow are affecting so many places -even sunny Florida! Here in California, we’re still enjoying lovely mild weather, but it looks like some rain is coming our way soon. I’m actually excited about the change and can’t wait for that refreshing shift! We don't want to get too spoiled.
ReplyDeleteThat weather sure sounds nasty to me! Perhaps March will be a real spring this year!
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to get snow this week, but time will tell for sure. I’m sorry your visit to see Kris has to be postponed for now, but hopefully you’ll get to visit with him soon. I wonder if decluttering ever ends? Seems like we both do a lot of it, but I do love the space it opens up and the things I find that I had forgotten about, which are both good. I hope you have a good evening.

Here it's relentless rain and wind, this morning it's hammering down, grey and cool, another day inside with the lights on.
ReplyDeleteThe cold is spreading all over. We are to get frigid again this weekend. Snow for much of the states that don't usually see it too.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm to all!!!
My daughter told me of the cold weather that is expected to arrive. She and Eli won't be going anywhere this weekend either.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and dry!
I saw your comment on Debby's Blog and your ending of "God bless" at the end. That's what attracted me to here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
I have boxes of material in the garage that need to be used....
ReplyDeleteI have to go out tomorrow morning but then I plan to hunker down inside where it's nice and warm. It's snowed lightly all day today...just enough to make the roads sticky and difficult.
ReplyDeleteSorry you've had to put back your trip to visit Kris. Better safe than sorry. I too am trying to concentrate on using up things I already have this year.
