Life was pretty typical here today.
Exercise:
I went out for my run this morning but really didn’t want to. I just can’t figure out my days off as this is the third run day in a row so my legs are getting tired! I am running with Dennis tomorrow so hopefully they are better then! I got five kilometers in, but it wasn’t pretty or fast. I don’t want to take every other day off, but I need fresh legs for Friday and Sunday for sure!
This evening I did another BeFitDavis workout. This was her upper body workout and had me doing pike pushups, row to tricep extension, circle raises and military press with a shoulder rotation. I think I’m definitely going to feel this tomorrow!
Teaching:
It was a pretty typical day of checking work, planning for next week and then having a boring staff meeting. Everyone was celebrating how great the report samples online were, but they sure didn’t seem great to me yesterday when I looked at them! I finished the day by checking more student work and creating my Microsoft Teams classroom. I guess I have to try this out at some time!
Knitting:
I have been knitting on the body of my sweater, when suddenly today I got the idea that I should go do the collar and the arm cuffs so that I could then use up all possible yarn for the length. I am almost done the neckline right now and plan to finish before I go to bed. Knitting during the staff meeting really helped in getting the sweater done and keeping me calm.
Reading:
I finished a book last night called Ayesha at Last. It is a spin off of Pride and Prejudice set in a Muslim Canadian community. It was excellent! I really liked how there were enough similarities to P&P that you could tell who people were supposed to be and a couple of the best lines were included, but it was still different enough to hold my attention. The Muslim community seemed a great fit for this book.
Socializing:
I have been listening to an audio book from the library and I had gone to the kitchen when I realized that my book had stopped. My friend Cori was calling me and I had an awesome end to my night visiting with her:)
Eating:
I’ve had another good day and hopefully it will be enough to give me a good weigh in number tomorrow! I’ve had:
Runner’s waffle
Strawberries
Kiwi and almonds
Hamburger patty with guacamole
European wiener
I’m sure there’s something else, but once again, my mind is blanking.
Well I have to get back and finish my last two rows of the neckline so that I will have a sweater to show you soon!
Have fun!
AJ
I’m looking forward to seeing your sweater.
I’m looking forward to wearing it!! I’m excited now that it is getting close to being done
My sister just asked me to knit her a sweater!!!😅😅
Oh wow! What kind of sweater? That’s a big undertaking!
I know!!!😅 This is the sweater pattern on Ravelry…. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/southwood-2#
It’s in my library, so I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see it or not since that’s the link I grabbed
Oh that is one of my favourite types- raglan and quite simple- can wear it anywhere:). You’re a very nice sister! I stick with afghans for other people
I’m so scared haha an Afghan would be so much easier I think haha
Lol yes the afghan doesn’t have to fit. Just have her try it on often!
Only problem is that she’s still on the east coast while I’m in the Midwest😂
Honestly, do you think that will be a problem?
She will need to send you very precise measurements, but you are doing a basic sweater that will be okay if it oversized so you should be okay.
Oh okay!!
It’s always exciting to get close to finished with a big knitting project 🙂
Yes I love this point and usually speed yp
I just saw Bethany posted an upper body band workout that I want to try! Maybe tomorrow since it’s supposed to thunderstorm so we’ll see if a run happens.
It’s always so confusing when you’re listening to something and then it randomly stops until you realize someone is calling ha. A nice surprise to end your night!
I saved that workout, but it will be a while as I’m doing them in order from oldest to newest.
Yup talking to friends is my highlight right now
