I went to Pioneer Bluffs this afternoon to give a bride a tour of the grounds. Her fiancé, his mother and the bride’s parents all came along. It was a beautiful day to show off the grounds. They were laid back and I bet their wedding will be lots of fun. I like real people who can keep things simple.
Nothing else on my agenda today. I really need to think about doing some housework but the urge hasn’t hit me yet. When it gets to bothering me even more I will get it done. It is almost to that point. I have some friends coming over Tuesday afternoon so maybe that will motivate me to get at least the living room, dining room and kitchen done.
I started knitting a small needle project yesterday. It is a throw using Super Wash Wool. It has 207 stitches per row so it will take several weeks to finish. I can only knit on small needles for brief periods of time. My eyes don’t like that type of knitting. I have so much fancy yarn to work up I need to get some worked up or I need to get rid of the yarn.
The wind finally calmed down during the night last night. It was about to drive me over the edge yesterday. There is something about the sound of the wind that can take me to a dark place inside. I see why pioneer people went crazy from the wind howling. We had wind gusts of over 50 mph yesterday afternoon. I prefer days like today where there is a nice breeze but not strong winds. The sun is shining and the skies are bright blue today. Only 55 out but I will take that over yesterday’s 70’s with the strong wind.
Realized I had something to do everyday this week. Next week is much quieter for me unless I end up babysitting the grandkids so Michelle can sleep. I do better when I have several days a week with nothing on my calendar.
My heart rate dropped to 42 last night during the night according to my Fitbit. When I looked up low heart rate on Web MD it said hypothyroidism can be a cause. My heart rate has been low for lots of years – bet it was a symptom of my thyroid issue and no one connected the dots for me. Wonder if it will improve when I get my thyroid levels raised to normal limits.
My Fitbit is giving me credit for my knitting time. Yesterday it said I did 36 flights of stairs. Got that thing fooled for sure! I sat and knitted instead of climbing stairs. May have to take it off while I knit if I want a more accurate picture of my physical activity. I do have slender fingers though! Sure wish knitting burned more calories as it is my favorite sport.
Another quiet mind type of day. I seem to be stringing several of those together right now. Loving this peaceful valley I am finding myself in right now. Challenges appear but I immediately know a solution. I will appreciate and enjoy this time for as long as it lasts.
Grateful the wind quieted down, grateful to have been able to spend an hour outside giving a tour at Pioneer Bluffs on this gorgeous spring day, and grateful for the peaceful valley I am in right now.
