Changes

 I am learning to live with the new quacks my body has thrown at me. If it means it takes all day to do a short list of chores, it will take all day.  I also have started bring something to the other end of the house when I head that way.  I am also resting more.  The house is very slowly getting neater.  Neater, not company ready yet.  

Just Sunday

 I had a good cleaning spree today. Over the course of the day I got almost 2 hours of housework done.  

I am however completely ticked off by the realtor from California who called my cell phone at 7:30 this morning wanting to sell our house.  Waking me up after a very rough night. First off our house is not on the market. Second my cell phone number is unlisted.  Which by the current time difference she was making cold calls at 6:30 am in California.  What in the blank it ee blank was she thinking? There is something known as common courtesy.  Can someone from California tell me what time your state allows sales calls to begin?  Also to sell real estate in Arizona, you must be licensed in Arizona.  This was so wrong on so many levels.  I am still tempted to file a complaint. 

In knitting news, I got to the 4th color in the baby blanket.  This is the 3rd color change.  It is looking good.  

Spinning Anyone?

 I spent my afternoon spinning at Grandmas Spinning Wheel here in Tucson.  Need I really say more about my day.  Ok, I guess so.. Some people spun inside and some people spun outside with me.  One lady even stopped to take our picture because she had never seen people spin yarn before.  I was trying out some of my new spindles.  One needed to be fixed when I came home because the hook was bent and I did not bring my tools with me.   It was a 2 minute fix when I got home.  Half of which was walking to get the tools.

Next time I spin out side I will have to remember to bring eye drops.  When my eyes get dry things get a little blurry.  Of course even outside we wore our masks.  This left me a little dry too. When I got my iced tea after we finished, I gulped half of it before I started the car.  

I was also given a charity blanket to sew up.  It is made from the dreaded polyester.  So if anyone wants to sew it up and give it to the charity of their choice please let me know.  There are a bunch of granny squares that were Crocheted.  

Baby Steps

 I am definitely feeling better today. Not yet 100%.  I only took one nap.  Managed to get 2 loads of laundry finished.  I attacked some paper work.  My recycling bin was very happy.  I even managed to knit over  1 inch on the baby blanket using size 4 knitting needles.  I am almost ready for the next color change.  

I still get very tired at times and need to rest more than I want.  But at least I am getting things done.  

BBD

 My body got the better of me again today.  Besides have a very bad dyslexic day, my body was about the same.  I had trouble keeping tracking of time, I felt out of time and space..  I used the 5 minute cleaning rules several times today to get a few things done.  My body laughed at my plans for today.  I can only hope that tomorrow is better.  I hope I am not to tired to knit most of the day again.  

Shopping

 I did manage to get out to get a few new outfits for spring.  Most of my pandemic clothing purchases are starting to look a little worn and frayed.  So I went to Bryn Walker to get some new outfits.  I managed to get 2 shirt and pants combs, 1 pair of pants and an extra top.  I just love shopping at my local Bryn Walker store.  I really like working with Teri.  She is so nice and helpful.  Did I mention how comfortable the clothing is too.  

Now a fun fact for today.  Model is a rayon fiber made from beach wood trees.  Model is the registered trademark name.   Just don’t know how to bring up the trademark symbol on my iPad.  

That was followed by some grocery shopping and then home.  I got home before the really bad winds and rain.  After lunch I spent my time knitting.  

A Big De Stash of Fiber Stuff

 Since I have more yarn than I can knit or weave in my lifetime I decided to set some yarn free.  I you are in want of good yarn from a pet free, smoke free home I just might have the solution for you .  

I managed to empty two tubs that had been full of yarn. One was a huge 96 quart bin and the other was about 34 quarts.  That make two 36 quarts plus a 96 quart that makes 138 quarts of yarn plus more from other places that will be looking for new homes soon.  I will also have a few of my drop spindles that want to leave the herd. I am also de stashing cones of yarn, knitting kits, knitting needles, knitting books, and various other fiber stuff. I have also made a whole lot of grab bag’s ,which are actually kitchen trash bags filled with yarn.  That will be at a great price.   If you are in Tucson let me know if you are interested and I will send you the details.  I suggest that you bring a knitting friend or 3 and get a grab bag each. Then go look at what you got and swap if you would like.  Each bag has enough for a few sweaters or about 15 smaller projects.  

After so much de stashing it was time to kick back and knit.  I spent some time on the baby blanket and some time on a scarf.  Now it’s time to call it a night.  

I will be setting the date soon.
