Had a lovely day out yesterday. It wasn't particularly warm (about freezing), but the sun was shining and that did make me feel better. The ice at one place we stopped at was amazing. It was like mountains and mountains all along the shore. What wild winds there must have been in this spot to make it like that! I'm inserting a little video at the end. Even husband was impressed! He even got out and walked with me at a couple of places and managed not to have many coughing fits.
I only had a small list for yesterday and I did manage to tick off everything. One of the items was creating a meal plan for the week. I then made a shopping list of items needed to complete the meal plan. Doing a food shop was an item on my list for today! I managed to pick up everything in one place (for once). Spent more than I wanted to, sigh, but I think that's just going to be how things are. I have to admit that I rethought a couple of items I was going to buy as they were more than I was willing to pay and worked out an alternative.
I felt quite productive the rest of the day. I took care of one area that I've been meaning to sort out so one less pile in the living room! I did go up in the craft room and sorted through one tub. I didn't get rid of a lot. At this stage, I think it's good to at least look through what I have so I can think about what areas of the crafting room I do want to tackle and let go of. This will be - probably - a slow ongoing project. I want to at least get to a point where I can feel creative in there, so I am able to use some of the too-many craft things I do have!
Tomorrow and Wednesday the weather doesn't look great so I'm not sure about a walk. Not sure I want to lol. The trails were a bit of a mess today, really icy in spots and clear in others so iffy as to whether I want to chance my Yaktrax. I wish they were easy to whip on and off so I could take them along with me and just put on as needed lol. I'm sure if it rains things will be even worse!
In case it does rain, I have a list planned so I'll keep busy. I won't be going out anywhere if I don't go for a walk.
Hope everyone had a good start to the week.
While I was looking through a pile I found this
Made me smile
Here's the ice video
Love the cartoon!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of crafts do you like doing? I knit, sew, occasionally crochet, draw and paint. Am slowly rehoming other craft materials like pastels, gouache, paint markers etc that I've tried and don't get on with.
The lake ice looks wild. It blows my mind that a lake can be so big that you can't see the shore on the other side.
The lake is really beautiful. It's lovely when it's so icy - the only good thing about winter lol
DeleteI cross stitch, do some paper crafts - cardmaking, journal making and such. I want to do some embroidery but always seem to be out of time! I've done a bit of knitting, but I'm not great at it. I do need to do another hat though as I lost mine at the lake!
Your video looks very cold - I reckon they could make a film there about living on the moon and it would look just right!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I always say to husband. It looks so desolate like I imagine the moon to be. It is so beautiful, but cold! I think that was the last weekend for it as it seems spring might be coming!
DeleteI love the cartoon. I think many of us feel like that.
ReplyDeleteThe ice mountains are impressive.
It made me smile.
DeleteThey always impress me. I still find it amazing how big they seem to get. I imagine the waves must have been quite impressive at some point for the ice to get that big!
I was unable to get the video to play for me, but, I'm sure the ice looked great.
ReplyDeleteWell done getting things checked off your lists. And adjusting your meal plan when the needed items were too costly.
Sorry it wouldn't play for you. It was lovely. I'm pleased I'm actually getting things done
DeleteThat ice video was amazing - it looked so wild and alien.
ReplyDeleteLists rock. I've also found that if I get a small success at the start of the day then I get loads more done afterwards, like I get energy from that success.
Shopping can feel like war sometimes.
It's really amazing.
DeleteI'm finding the list thing really helps. I like seeing things check off. I am feeling more productive when I do the lists otherwise I spend too much time procrastinating.
