Thanksgiving

 We are back home after a brief visit with our daughter and son-in-law for Thanksgiving.  We had a delicious and delightful dinner with my son-in-laws extended family.  Many did not recognize me after a 50 pound weight loss and a few years between seeing them again.  

Speaking of weight loss. I am now in another smaller size. Right now my body is going through a let’s lose inches phase before the next round of weight loss.  I just can’t seem to lose inches and weight at the same time.  

I started unpacking and had had an early breakfast.  Right now I can’t decide whether to take a nap or finish unpacking and start the laundry. I also have to go shopping to restock fruits and vegetables.  Now that my tummy is full a nap seems more prudent right now.

Accidental Cleaning

 Today my plan was to go to the grocery store and then come home to weave and spin.  What actually happened was I started to put a few things away.  Go through some paperwork. Do a recall for my air fryer.  Before I knew it time had flown by and it was 4:30 pm.  I am not quite sure how it happened.  I was in a cleaning zone.  

Then all of a sudden I was tired and took a nap before dinner.  John graciously assembled dinner. After dinner I did manage to go through a few color changes on the scarf.  It is definitely going to be a one of a kind scarf.  I would be hard pressed to find the yarn to assemble another scarf just like this one.  I can’t wait to see how it turns out.  It will definitely go with everything I own.  

Exploding Pillows and Other Fun Stuff

 It was time to wash couch pillows today. The only hitch was that after a decade the liner of one pillow exploded in the washing machine. Yes, it was a tall persons job to clean up. Unless I am in at least 2 inch heals or standing on a step stool,I can not reach the bottom on the washer. These new high capacity washing machines are not made for short people. So tomorrow I get to go to Joann’s, I will be fully masked.  I will be getting a new pillow liner. Maybe even some leather to fix my swift.  

Aside from that it was grocery shopping day.  At least the people who were not wearing masks did not snicker today.  I also got a nap this afternoon. I was so tired that I did not move the entire time I was asleep. I woke up in the same exact position I fell asleep in.  

The numbers for today.   

The 4th day of 2022 over 100f in Tucson.. it’s going to be a long hot summer.

The 20th day in a row that I walked 5,000 steps or more  I am beginning to feel better on most days   

Yesterday and Today

 Yesterday we drove to the Eastside of Tucson and went to Aqua Caliente Park. Before the water levels dropped in Tucson it was a natural hot spring.  It is a nice area to walk around.  It was too cold to brin a picnic lunch.  Here are a couple of photos that John took.  

Today we did the Walk for Sjogren’s.  Since it was a virtual walk, we walked on our street until I was tired.  If you would still like to make a contribution to The Sjogren’s Foundation there is a link on my Facebook page.  

This afternoon I did laundry and napped.  This current flare up is exhausting.  John is better at taking pictures than I am at modeling.  

Baby Steps

 I am definitely feeling better today. Not yet 100%.  I only took one nap.  Managed to get 2 loads of laundry finished.  I attacked some paper work.  My recycling bin was very happy.  I even managed to knit over  1 inch on the baby blanket using size 4 knitting needles.  I am almost ready for the next color change.  

I still get very tired at times and need to rest more than I want.  But at least I am getting things done.
