Rainy Saturday

I haven't been out at all today - well unless sitting on the back porch between rain showers and watching the birds count. That satisfied my taking photos for the day! I feel lost if I don't take any photos. It was raining when I woke up so I didn't go out for a walk. I've done a little bit of this and that today. I finished the little cross stitch I've been working on. Really frustrating as the aida they gave you was too small for the design! I had to adapt the pattern to make it all fit. I know it was really cheap, but ggrrrr. I have a couple more of these little kits I bought so I think I'll be swapping out the aida for a bigger piece. Lesson learned. 

I did a bit of sorting of a bookcase and pulled off several books to look through. I already have ten to donate. I did a little bit of sorting up in the craft room - not much to report there lol and did a bit of crafting. I also had a nice relaxing bath. 

It's evening now and I'm not really sure where the day went! I thought I'd go a bit crazy not going out, but I didn't. I purposefully decided not to go anywhere so I did not spend money needlessly. I am really trying to be more conscious about where I am spending money. I certainly don't need any more stuff - not for reselling and not for my own use. I'm trying to break some habits - good or bad - that keep me doing the same thing over and over again whether it's because I'm afraid of missing out on something or just because it's something I always do and it makes me feel comfortable. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and mild, so we are off for a walk somewhere. We're not going to the lakeshore tomorrow. We're off to a park to have a walk. Hopefully it will be fun!

My Phone Photo Things That Make Me Smile (yes, I'm still doing that!) is a bit of a cheat today, I took a screen shot when Baby A and I were video chatting. She certainly made me smile today. Her speech is coming along nicely (a relief for me as speech problems run in my family) and she had fun playing with Play Doh
