I spent the day spring cleaning with an emphasis on going through everything and getting rid of what I don’t need. This included going through the fridge and freezer and having one of Eric’s aides taking home all the high carbohydrate foods that would get me in trouble.
The craft room is now clean , dusted and vacuumed. Although at times like this I am jealous of the author Stephen King, because he has a dedicated work space and can close the door when company comes over.
I found something interesting about my new Fitbit Inspire HR model. When I am cleaning and madly dashing around the house it thinks that I am running. I did not know that I walked that fast. It also did something totally unexpected. It buzzed me and told me to take a rest. I took this to mean that my Fitbit wanted me to knit. Why it just did not say it’s time to knit, oh well. I also found that the larger band fit my wrist better. I do have to admit that about 10,000 of the 12,000 steps taken today were with out leaving the house. I did manage to get out for a walk around the block after dinner.
It’s time to call it a night.

Busier Than Usual
I spent my day recovering from a whirlwind day yesterday. I had one meeting all about Eric, which left me exhausted. Eric’s aide had an early appointment so he had to leave early. I missed seeing my Friday friends.
So today was spent spring cleaning. Guess what I found out today? John loves getting rind of bags of junk and will even carry it to the recycle bin. John also volunteered to drive to Goodwill when I fill up my boxes. I also managed a 2 1/2 hour nap. Did some spot decluttering in Eric’s room. I just have 3 major areas to finish tomorrow. As long as I sleep tonight that should be possible.
I also finished a visit from my older sister today. Maybe a little less very rich food will help me feel better. Some how with my family it’s always over sized meals and not enough walking.
At this point it’s hard to call it an early night. But if Eric let’s me I get to sleep in tomorrow.

The End of May 2019
My day started off at full speed ahead this morning. I had 2 loads of laundry finished before breakfast. I had all the laundry for the day done by 10am. Some how Eric hijacked my day. All forward progress came to an immediate halt.
I felt with my frustration by going to the grocery store and wondering the aisles looking for low carb treats. vegan doughnuts came to mind but at 65 carbs per doughnut it was a no go. I don’t even want to think about how many carbs a scone has, but I am guessing more than a doughnut. My treat landed up being a couple of pieces of fresh fruit and a hot lunch that I did not have to cook.
My timing was so bad I missed an opportunity to get out of the house to knit. I did manage to get dinner with my sister tonight. We knit after dinner.
I did manage to get a little more cleaning done before Eric decided that the afternoon was all about him. I am a bit tired and way behind, but there is always tomorrow.

Spring Cleaning
Now that everyone is feeling better and 2 rooms of carpets are clean, spring cleaning shall go forward in earnest tomorrow. My goal is to have the craft room finished by Saturday afternoon. I will also be decluttering counters and polishing cabinets. The floor boards are also over due for polishing. My expectation is that I want to be finished by Wednesday. I, of course will leave the windows to John. Wish me luck.
Eric is back on formula tonight. So this makes me very happy. I have a busy day tomorrow so it’s time to call it a night.

Exhaustion
Exhaustion has set in. Eric is almost over P, but to do that we have a medicine that is given every 6 hours. That with extra suctioning and laundry on top of being sick and getting over a very bad cold. Yes, the one that gave Eric P. Today I slept through knitting with friends. I layed down for 20 minutes and woke up 2 1/2/hours later.
To unwind tonight,I spent 2 hours spinning. I finished a small bobbin for teaching plying. Then there was a 4 ounce blend of silk and mohair, it is in the sink ready to be washed. I also got the second plying spin on some lace weight yarn that I was given to make hats with. In my very humble opinion it turned out gorgeous. If I can leave Eric’s room tonight, I will take a picture. See below., the lace weight was first Z plyed and finished off with an S ply. Next it will get a hot bath to set the twist.
Now I am just waiting for Eric to settle in for the night. I have already filled the suction machine a 1/3 of the way up. John emptied it before he went to sleep. At this rate it will need to be emptied soon. Also the later I stay up, I get hungry.
