I lost my iPhone earlier this evening. I used the iOS app Find my iPhone. It found the section of the house down to a few feet, that is really fantastic. The app find my iPhone has one major flaw as far as I am concerned, it will not tell me if my iPhone is under a pile of yarn. Really, I know that there are a lot of great software engineers out there. Can’t one of you write a program that will find an iPhone under yarn or in the case of younger parents in the kids toys. I am sure that they all know people who lose their phones in purses or briefcases too.
As you can tell it has been another long day at Casa Karobonik. I am hoping that the leg/foot massager will work a miracle tonight. I also pray that we have no headache inducing pressure changes tonight. I also pray that Eric has a peaceful and restful night. This is not happening so far. Here I sit in Eric’s room waiting to give the second half of The Tylenol. Send Justin’s cashew and peanut butter cups in dark chocolate please.
Now to get in some knitting while I wait.

Crazy Busy
It has been crazy busy around here lately. Today was the first day in almost a week that I could knit. I have been spending my knitting down time plying very thin yarn into a heavyweight yarn to knit with. I tend to get a lot of bits and pieces of lace and sock weight yarn that I am given for hats. I generally prefer to knit charity hats on larger sized knitting needles. So I ply the yarn on bad hand days.
I have also been Zenning more and Teri helped for a few hours last weekend. Sadly the space she made is almost filled. It has been a long day. So night all.

More Spring Cleaning
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.
