As I mentioned on Saturday, this weekend was Memorial Day weekend. The actual holiday was on Monday and it was the designated day to honor those fallen armed service members. It's my hope that they be remembered more often than one day by everyone.
It was unseasonably cold over the weekend. That didn't bode well for my PsA and Fibro. On Friday, the weather was so beautiful outside. Sunny and slightly breezy, I so wished that I was able to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, my lovely little pup decided to keep me up all night Friday and most of the day on Saturday. I wasn't able to get all of the restorative sleep that I need to reset the pain and stiffness. When I did get to fall asleep, I woke up around midnight and simply stayed awake to work on some of the crochet projects that I need to get finished by the end of October. I wanted to create a community project in order to help others somehow. Since I am okay with crocheting, the opportunity to make hat/scarf sets for the children of our local behavioral center presented itself. My next project is to create lap blankets for the elderly in area nursing homes.
Sunday was low-key even though everyone else was crazy about the Indianapolis 500 that happened. If I am to be honest, I didn't even bother with a lot of it. I spent the day catching up on reading that I had fallen behind in and made some headway toward finishing at least two books by Wednesday when I do my currently reading post on my other blog. Afterwards, I attempted to do some cleaning. I can often do some general straightening up but deep cleaning alludes me. No matter how hard I want to tear apart a room and clean from corner to corner, I can't anymore. It's just the plain true. The only thing I can do is whatever I can each and every day.
Monday was spent catching up on the blog posts both here and my reading blog. I managed to finish the 30th of 75 hat and scarf sets. I'm about halfway on the 31st scarf. I have given myself until the end of the week to work as many sets as possible before I start revising that novel of mine. I'll post more information about that journey on my other blog. After the rain had moved through Sunday night, I was able to move a little better on Monday. I was able to help with the clearing out/reorganization of the office/craft room. My husband and I have to share a space and unfortunately, my craft items runneth over.
Today, I'm just going to keep working on the crochet and reading. I am also going to start up a small exercise program so that I can lose this weight to help with both my breathing and my arthritis. Until the organization is finished, I can't use the weight machine but I have a small incumbent bike that I think 10 minutes twice a week is a good start. I don't want to overdo anything and cause myself a huge setback. I have done that before and it didn't end well at all. With that, I'm off to get my list of things done. Or as much as I'm able, that is.
Until next time,
Kay
