Don’t worry I won’t call every day in sequence!!!
Exercise:
After sleeping for 11 hours, I got up and out the door for my run. It was raining and my legs were still tired from yesterday’s workout, but I got 5.91km done, enough to complete the mission:). I say it was a bad run, but the fact that I ran 5.91km and didn’t think twice about it shows that it couldn’t have been that bad!
I am quite happy that I also got a workout in as one of my goals this summer is to get back to weight training more. I am definitely noticing the lack of muscle I have right now! I did 8 circuits of two exercises each and did each twice. It was a good whole body workout as it included: high knees, mountain climbers, single leg bench squats, shuffles, dips, plank jacks, skipping, woodchops, up/downs, cross country skiing, butterfly crunches, oblique crunches, squat pulses, push-ups, burpees and v sits.
Amazingly, I also kind of got a walk in this evening, though it was more of a stroll than a “walk”. I’ll take it for the first day of holidays though!
Knitting:
My first priority after my run today was to finish the baby tee in time to get it entered for the potions class in HPKCHC. I ended up calling it Sunflower and Sunshine and I’m super happy with it! It also used up another random skein of yarn out of my stash🎉🎊
I followed the free Composite pattern off of Ravelry, although I did the whole sweater on size 4mm circular needles rather than switching needles for the edging. It was super quick and easy and I love how cheerful and cute it is!
Crafting:
I have been working on my rug square, but haven’t quite managed to finish it yet. Hopefully by tomorrow night.
Reading:
I’ve been working on the same book for a while which is odd for me, but I’ve also been listening to Great Expectations by Charles Dickens on LibriVox . It’s good so far:)
Blogging:
I’ve been trying to catch up on my blog reading as I’m currently three days behind. I apologize! One of my goals for summer is to catch up and stay caught up!!!
Socializing:
Lyndsay texted earlier tonight to see if I wanted to join her at the Local Canada Day celebrations. We walked over with her son and it was pretty cool. There were some booths set up and we checked out the paint balling one (you have to be ten) and some clothing ones. Her son got ice cream and Lyndsay got a delicious looking baked potato topped with chicken and avocado. It looked really good! We played bean bag toss which was fun
and listened to a live band- Famous Players out of Vancouver. It was cool because one of the band members is the brother of a parent at my school.
Product Review:
The last thing I have to say for tonight is that I’ve been really enjoying this dairy free, gluten free tzatziki alternative!!
It tastes just like tzatziki and is super yummy. It has the consistency of cream cheese which worked great to spread on sandwiches, put in celery and for dipping chicken into. It was delicious in all three instances!
Well I’m off to work on my rug a bit:)
Have fun!

Sounds like the perfect first day off!
It was lovely!
The tee came out so cute! I love the button.
Thank you! I think the button makes it and even better I already had it in my drawer:)
What a great day!
It was:) now I just need another 60 like that:)
What a darling sweater! And live music is all around us this week. Tonight Paramore, Tuesday Def Leppard and Journey, Wednesday we are catching a friend’s 50’s style band, and then Friday a food/music event on the square. We will be musiced out and probably be suffering heat exhaustion!! LOL
Oh that is an awesome line up. We were trying to stay for Bif Naked last night, but didn’t make it.
Here’s to summer!
And that little sunshine tee! Is adorable! Well done my friend!

I hope so! No plans on who it’s for yet so it might just go into the holiday market fundraiser at my school
that works double duty… someone get a cute sweater for a little one and your school gets a donation
Exactly- the kids do all their Christmas shopping:)
