WHEW!! What a Sunday!

Wow, Sunday was harsh for me. I went to bed after the blogathon (around 8AM-I think) and I only slept till just after Noon and I could not sleep anymore because of the heat and light of day. So I got up. My contact solution had not neutralized because it had not been (hydrogen peroxide) 6 hours or longer since I poured it, so I had to wait another hour and a half to put my contacts AKA "My Eyes" in. The BF had left to do whatever so I grabbed the two books I got from the library Compassionate Knitting and Mindful Knitting and went back to the bed to read. Some things I noted about these two books is one...they are by the same author which I had not noticed till I sat down to read them. Second is that Compassionate Knitting is actually a sequel to Mindful knitting had it has A LOT LESS information on the chosen mindful state of knitting. Mindful Knitting is the best one of the two with an introduction to meditating and what mindful knitting is and how to go about it. A good first part of the book is on this subject and I like Mindful Knitting better than the second book because of this information.

Sunday I was a walking ZOMBIE!! I could not sleep anymore than I had already so once my contact solution had neutralized I put my eyes in and went about what I usually do on a Sunday which is mostly crafting. Although I really did not have the energy to do much of anything I did make it to OTBP to gander at a zipper for a felted coin purse that I felted over the Blogathon. I haven't got a picture yet but I will soon. It was actually a swatch piece to see how a variegated batt would spin and knit up. It felted wonderfully and it is stripped with blue, purple, and turquoise. BTW, I start working at OTBP this Saterday! A little extra money...that I will probably put back into the shop (LMAO!!) but then I will use that money instead of my regular income, which is a good thing. I am gonna be sort on rent this time so I am gonna have to take out a pay day loan. I hate those things...once you start it's hard to get away from it. But what-cha gonna do? I gotta pay my half of the rent...everything else can wait.

I went to Hob Lob this morning to get a Hurricane lamp cover to protect the candle I have dedicated to my healing knittin's from the wind generated by the fans. I tried to light it yesterday and the darned thing kept melting just one side of the candle. This should solve that issue. I also got a frame for my current promotion photo to send to Mum. She really enjoys getting them. Speaking of Mum...she called over the weekend to let me know she got my package of goodies and the Forrest Canopy Shawl, but she said...it's super funny... "Next time make it bigger because this thing looks like it is supposed to hang off a size 2 person." LMFAO!!! I bought a zipper for my coin purse and I also got a thank you card for K.A. while I was there.

When Mum called Sunday (for the third time) I told her it is supposed to be small because it is just a shawlette meant for the shoulders!! LMAO!! Plus it stretches! *snicker* She is so funny. I did not have the patience to talk with her Sunday because I was very grumpy and easily irritated so we decided I would call her Monday instead after I got more sleep.

Speaking of sleep!! I slept better last night than I have in WEEKS!! I was so tired that I HURT ALL OVER! I slept hard and I slept all night without waking up once! I wonder if this will serve to "reset" my sleeping pattern? We shall see. I hope it does.

I actually woke up with cramps yesterday morning and I had started spot a little. The Mussels probably did that. Thanks goodness! I haven't cycled for three months since going off birth control, and I am not preggy (already tested for that-plus the BF is shooting blanks now so it's kinda impossible but I am paranoid when it comes a possible "accident"). Although the spotting was brief and it has already stopped with no continuation of the cycle. *siiiiiiiiiiiiigh* I am just about afriad at this point to go see the Doc about it.

Until next time...

Ramblings...

Yesterday we went to Meineke, made an appointment for a front end alignment and three new tires (front tires and spare) for 11 AM, we get there someone ahead of us said they were there for their 11AM alignment appointment. They double booked!! We ended up waiting an HOUR AND A HALF before they got to us because they "only have one alignment machine" and the folks that got there the same time we did were also getting an alignment. *FUMMING!* We were there a total of THREE HOURS because the alignment takes an hour and a half by itself! I was not and am not happy about this. What is the flippin use of making an appointment if they double book the time slots?! I thought the point of making an appointment was to AVOID this kind of wait because they do take walk-ins on a first come basis. We should have received some sort of discount for their incompetence and making us sit around for three hours when we both had plans.

I ended up not getting to go to the sporting goods store to look for boxing gloves and hand wraps because Mike had plans for 2PM. So I was stuck home all fuckin day and it was just too hot and humid for me to go biking. I was not happy. So I went shopping online, which is bad because I ended up buying a pound of white Merino roving to dye. *sigh*

Sunday we went to the farmers market and bought some cheese curds which happen to be on special! YAY! Then I took the BF with me shopping for boxing gloves and hand wraps. I ended up buying premium full grain deer hide gloves from Home Depot because the boxing gloves at the sporting goods store were either to small or too big! The deer skin work gloves were juuuust right. LOL While we were there I also found a heavy spring to add to the eye-hook for the punching bag. We stopped at Harbor Freight Tools as well and I found some interlocking foam "work" mat squares that can easily do double duty as a yoga mat. That was cheap and a lot cheaper than any yoga mat I have seen yet! Great cushioning for sit-ups as well. I also found some watering stakes that fit onto one or two liter bottles. Sweet!

I broke down and turned on the air conditioning for the first time this summer. The night was so hot and humid that I did not sleep well and I needed a shower. That's bad when you need a shower just from sleeping!! The air outside is so heavy....blah, my lungs arn't likin it too well. They say the humidity is going to go away...well they have also been saying we are supposed to get storms, but they keep pushing that prediction further ahead. Friday they said Saterday evening. Saterday they said Sunday evening. And now here it is Sunday and they are saying Monday or Tuesday. Lets just say it's gonna rain SOMETIME but we are really unsure as to WHEN. LMAO!!

Until next time...
