Day 7: A Typical Evening at Home...

 


Since we're going with the 'typical' evening at home I'm going give you my typical 'weeknight' at home.

I get to work at a ridiculous hour.

5:30 a.m.

The main reason is traffic. I have a 40 minute drive and leaving later than 6:00 is just asking for a 90 minute drive.

Especially during the winter/rainy months. 

Phoebe post breakfast nap. She fixed the couch all by herself
So I leave my house at 4:45 a.m.
That means I get up at 3:20 a.m.
The bonus?
I'm on the road home by 2:00 p.m. and rolling thru my front door about 3:00 p.m.

So my evening starts at 3:00 p.m.
Let Phoebe out.
Putter a bit.
Go thru the 'i don't wanna workout' argument
Put in my 21 day fix DVD or hop on the treadmill or stream my yoga from Amazon.

4:00-4:20 Phoebe is ready to be fed. Like really ready and will let you know, repeatedly until you feed her.

That's about when I start making our dinner as well.
I try to eat by 5:00 - 5:30 and start winding down for the evening by 6:00.

D usually arrives home somewhere in there, does his workout, eats his dinner, and lucky me, he does the dishes... :)

Shower, cruise the tv, knit for a while.
7:00 p.m. I turn off the T.V. turn on my sound sleep app and read my book till about 7:30-8:00.
I'm currently reading the new Jack Reacher The Midnight Line and book 17 in the Kay Scarpetta series The Scarpetta Factor. One thing I can say for my Kindle, it makes it really easy to cruise thru book series, and I love it! I can't wait for Maui in January. I'm going to load up the Kindle.

Somenights we go out.
Some nights we have hockey game.
Monday thru Friday is pretty routine though and I get cranky when my routine gets disrupted.

So does Phoebe.

So a typical evening at home, it's not very exciting, but it is what I do.
Right now I'm not doing my workouts from 3:00-4:00 as I'm getting the house ready for Mama's visit.

There's 'friends coming over' clean and then there is 'mom coming to stay' clean.

Comfort tester.

It's a de-cluttering, curtain hanging, furniture moving, dusting extravaganza!
The Guest Room is also my Yarn Room. Typically it's covered in yarn. I have that mostly contained.
Good thing mom is a knitter.
Happy Thursday ya'll

What's your typical night at home like?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
