Last night was the first night that Eric decided to stay up all night and wanted to play. I kept putting his covers back on and giving him stuffed animals to play with. I did not let Eric stay home, but instead sent him to program and took a nap, which lasted until the gardener, construction workers and the noise of running water woke me up.
I went through another section of my closet today and went through all my tank top. 4 made it to the Goodwill box and I put a few on probation. When the probationary one get to big they will go to goodwill too. I will go through other areas in coming days
This has lead to some areas of my closet with not enough selection for more than a few days between washing clothes. I have not lost enough inches to go to the next size down in my closet. That will take 2 to 4 more inches off my waistline. I have only managed to get 4 inches off my waistline since June 6th. So I went shopping today. I must have hit the sales just right. I got 1 long cotton skirt, 1 long sleeve top, 1 light cover up and 8 tank tops for $100. They also threw in all the hangers too. So all I need now are pants and skirts. My well deserved Ganga* for the day.also I did not have to go to the plus sizes for anything.
If you think. my day could not have gotten any better. Care stopped by and helped with my personal de stash. She left with 1 bag of yarn to make blankets for foster babies.. and another bag to make gifts for her “step kids”. John was very happy. I also finished hat number 48. Eric is asleep so it’s time for me to go to sleep. Night all.
*Ganga is Tucson speak for a great deal.

Date Night
I just love date night when John and I can get out for more than 90 minutes at a time together. Tonight John and I were able to go out to dinner, take a walk around University Avenue and see Trevor Noah's comedy show at Centennial Hall down at the U of A. We really enjoyed the show and John got seats in the 3rd row from the stage. They were really great seats.
They almost did not let my hat knitting in Centennial Hall. The rent a cop thought that the knitting was dangerous. I explained that I would only knit while waiting for the show and put it away once the show started. Also that I was allowed to bring it in last weekend. What the heck is so dangerous about 16 inch circular knitting needles? Or hand knit hats for kids?
When we got home around 9 pm, Eric was still awake. He had a good night, but needed to see mom and dad before bedtime. Of course he needed suctioning, and a gunk clean out, a diaper change and positioning. Then of course it was time to clean the suction machine, I lost the race so it was my turn, not the most fun I have ever had, but it has to be done.
It is 11:30 pm and I just changed and positioned Eric again. I am still waiting for him to go to sleep. I really hope that he is asleep before tomorrow. I really need to get my sweater done. Both sleeves are almost to the elbow. I also need to add the front placket. It has to be finished by Thursday morning. It is my first me size sweater that I have knit. All the other hand knit sweaters have been for Elmo. I can not follow and alter a pattern when I am too tired to keep my eyes open, that's what hats are for.
Here is hoping beyond hope that Eric is asleep and sleeps until at least 6 am.
