Getting ready for a de stash sale

 Today was a better day.  I got plenty of sleep and rest.  Sat down to fold the laundry.  Got knitting in, but did not finish a single project.  I am not at 100 percent but my ears are starting to show. This means that the swelling in my face is going down .  

Since not one I invited is coming to look a my yarn de stash, I am getting ready for a yard sale on Sunday.   I will price everything tomorrow.  Lots of yarn needs to leave the house.  So if you want more yarn at better than Tuesday Morning prices just contact me.  Don’t worry I will still have lots of yarn left for me.  It’s just the fact the my knitting has changed over the years.  I want someone who needs it to get a good price.  The big white bags will be $20, with at least $100 of new yarn in the bags.  Kits and boo I’ll be individually priced.  Good discounts here too. 



Allergies and more.

 I spent the day going between resting and doing light chores.  I would like to state for the record that deal with an allergy and Sjogren’s flare at the same time is not fair. Stamping my foot kind of not fair.  The end result is my face is so puffy that even if I smile you just can not tell.  I think the plants are still in deep drought mode so they are sending out extra pollen.  

Tomorrow I will try to get as many projects off my knitting needles as I can.  At least until my hands say stop.   Have a good week everyone.

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.

Still Crunchy

 My hands are still crunchy.  I am trying to figure out which finger’s are triggering.  Not an easy task.  I am wearing fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm which seems to help.  I am also starting to drop things so I am being very careful with fragile items.  I have a few more pressing items take care of first   Then my hands. I am hoping that this will go away when the flare up ends .

I have made a design change to the baby blanket.  It should take a few hours off the total time.

Crunchy Hands

 I had a better day today.  I am still tired.  My hands are on the crunchy side so not much knitting or cleaning got done.  My main accomplishments of the day were doing the Cubii2 for 7 minutes and planking for 11 seconds.  Yes, I know the numbers are low but hopefully they will get better.  

I am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Still Tired

 I am still tired today, but managed to get in a few rows of knitting.  Some on the current hat. Some on the baby blanket.  I really did not get much else done.  I tried my Cubii2 but only lasted 4 minutes.  

We did go out to lunch today, we tried one place and they could not give us patio seating.  Another restaurant a few doors down only had 8 people on a patio designed for about 100, so we ate there. I had steamed vegetables with tofu.  We also added 1 dim sum dish and edamame.  Along with a pot of green tea.
