It’s October 2

 This morning we received the most welcome rain in a while. I think it’s been at least two or three weeks since we’ve had a drop of rain.




So this morning while sitting on the porch having my coffee we were able to enjoy the rain. 

I’ve been able to keep up my morning routine during my cancer journey, which is to get my planner/journal and write about anything that crosses my mind in it and then also plan what I hope to get done today. I also have a daily reading that I will do and this year I have been reading The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday.  



 I understand he has a new book out which I need to look up, and see if it’s something I’m interested in reading. So far Stoicism I can relate to as far as a philosophy and I’m curious to know whether or not his new book elaborate more on it. 

Normally after my time of reflection and planning I will start my exercises which usually starts with a warm-up of a bike ride. I’ve been doing a mile and keeping it at a mile just for the reason that I am just doing it as a warm-up to my exercises that the physical therapist has a signed. 

That has been working out really well for me in the past couple weeks actually it’s almost week three. Boy, time sure goes by fast. Anyway that has been working out well for me like I said it takes about 35 minutes altogether

Then normally after that I either shower or I will eat. I had a late start this morning so here it is already noon and I haven’t had anything to eat or a shower I just finished my exercises so I think I will get to that and then start my day.


Which meant I needed to get some cleaning done and today I had help.


I had to clean the litter box. It's been a year and half since Pete passed so having one cat I didn't need to clean the box as often.
But with 3 it keeps me busy and this time I wasn't able to get the top on before they had to use it. Both of them


Then had help sweeping the floors.


I normally don't get such good help, usually they are napping.
A lot easier that way for me.


My 15 minutes of sewing was some mending I'm doing.

My daughter had a pair of jeans that were wearing thin on the legs, so I'm adding reinforcement.




My sewing time was more than 15 minutes this time and I thing mending counts.

Till next time,

Kat

  1. Your cats are very helpful. Pretty soon they will be wanting to receive an allowance for all of their housework! I see I am not the only one doing mending this past week…

    1. I have seen others use colored threads to do their mending and wasn’t sure if my daughter would like that. But some people get very creative in their stitching

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
