Zenning My Closet

 Today I tackled part of my closet and put a new and bigger shoe rack in.  The sad news is all my shoes did not fit. So tomorrow I will do another round of zenning to see if I can make room for another shoe rack.  In the meantime I have filled another box for Goodwill.  

My drop spindles have found a new home along side or rather above the computer  I really think I need to order some wood conditioner for them too, some are in need of a good polishing  

I am feeling a little better each day.  I have tweaked my diet again.  I think it is working, although I should really give it a solid month to know for sure. 

Doing Better

I am finally feeling better. This is the best day I’ve had since I got food poisoning last month. I spent the morning doing errands. I picked up my remaining scarfs from the art gallery because it is closing at the end of the month.  Although it’s still scares me to leave the confines of the house I did wear mask and gloves. This afternoon I spent doing some organizing and made a lot of progress. My new rolling cart for the craft room came today and John assembled it for me. I am now ready  to work again. 

I hope to have an even better day tomorrow. I’m calling it an early night.

Feeling Yucky

I am still feeling pookey and tired, but I managed to do a little cleaning and my 10,000 steps.  

Finally

We finally got rain today. The bulk of the rain fell in about a half an hour. In that half an hour we got an inch and a half of rain and by dinner time the total was 2 inches of rain. It was a little bit too muggy to do any knitting today. So I spent the morning vacuuming up the dust bunnies and doing some deep cleaning. A lot of Zenning was started. This afternoon I worked on organizing the craft/storage room. I found some yarn that I didn’t even know I had. I also found a couple of projects that I lost. I started a new load of stuff for Goodwill too.   I am sure that I have a volunteer to drop it off for me. Tomorrow I’ll get out the big loom and start a shawl.  

Spinning Wheel Problems

I feel screwed right now.  On top of going crazy being stuck at home due to COVID19, I have managed to break both of my spinning wheels.  On the Louet Victoria I broke the footman connector, it snapped right off. It broke into pieces.  The Lendrum has footman problems, the squeak so much it’s impossible to spin with John in the room.  It squeaks at the wrong frequency for him.  Nothing to do but wait for parts.  Sigh. 

Spinning Again

I feel out of shape.  My hands and shoulders are tired after only plying one bobbin of yarn.  It’s either the months long hiatus from spinning because my hands did not work followed by a long recovery.  It also might be the Sojourns flare up cased by food poisoning last weekend. All I know is that it is going to be an interesting journey with lots of pictures.  There also might be a few redesigns of yarn on the way.  The yarn I plyed tonight was supposed to be a fractal spin, but is was so long since I spun it, I plyed it with turquoise silk in a 2 / 20 weight instead.   It came out wonderful.   

Pictures tomorrow.  

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Last night we thought it might be a good idea to skip cooking for one night and help a local Tucson restaurant.  Although the food tasted great and we only ate a small portion of the food we bought, hours later both John and I were sick.  It might take a few days to recover.  So much for doing the right thing.  Sighs.  A day of napping.
