We have a couple of pair of extra feet for the week. We will be relaxing and having fun family time. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

Trying to get in sync
I have spent a lot of time since my last post not being in total agreement with my body. Unfortunately my body won, so I rested Whether I liked it or not. Except for an afternoon nap I think I’m back on track. But then again naps are kind of my thing.
I did finish my 25th scarf and 89th project of 2021. Maybe I should try to finish all my UFO’s by the end of the year. We all know the odds are stacked against me because I love starting new projects. My knitting needles hate being empty, they get cold. Well wish me luck.

I Plan…
Okay my body and I are at odds. I spent a lot of time sleeping. I did fold yesterday’s laundry and clean out a Fibber Maggie and Molly worthy cabinet that has been on my list for while. I was to tired to knit tonight so I binged on jigsaw puzzles on my iPad. I finished 5 tonight, some were partially done.

What Happens When The Fall Cores Are Done
We are almost done with our fall cleaning spree. We only have a few things to do. This will give me time to finish up the bits and pieces of projects that are almost finished. A few rows here. Weaving in the ends. A Kitchener finish for a scarf. Fixing my stitch markers. Maybe even spinning and weaving. I want to see empty project bags.

The Goal is Insight
The end is in sight. I have gotten to the minutia of the cleaning spree most of the check list is gone. Right now the devil is in the details. My body has decided that I have over done it and I am taking involuntary afternoon naps. I hope to finish tomorrow morning. If I get up early I will start with the fridge and laundry. I have decided to take a few days off doing laundry. I guarantee that it will wait for me.
Well I think it’s time to call it a day.

Over Achieving
I know that I have been over doing it when I reach my weekly exercise goal by Tuesday by 3:30 pm. My goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day over 7 days. That is quite reasonable. 155 minutes in 2 1/2 days not so much. I did 95 of those minutes today, so far. I still have 2 rooms to put back together. No wonder I am exhausted. Off to mop another floor. Ok, I gave up and left the steam mopping to John. I think I will rest for a bit and then put things back together again. I am glad that all of my fiber storage drawers are on wheels. Rolling, rolling, keep those drawers rolling.
After a brief rest I put 2 rooms back together. We only need to add a table and chair to make a temporary office space. The space will have the pantry so course that means it has its own MK Snack area, minus the drinks. I landed up with a total of 138 minutes of cleaning time, for the day. Ok, it’s 2 hours and 18 minutes. Is it any wonder that I was too tired to do much knitting tonight?
I have also crossed out a few of tomorrow’s chores, because being the over achiever that I am today the work is done. I really think it would be wonderful if my body let me sleep tonight. Wish me luck.
