Staying Positive

  I am by nature a worrying, but on the whole I am a positive person. In fact I detest people who are negative, railing against the new government and new ideas. I have to come to terms with the fact that some people are just like that- and it is a close family person !! If a light turns red, it is like it turned red personally for that person. It drives me up the wall. But I cannot control that so I must concentrate hard on staying positive.

We have two more  whole minutes of sunlight today ! Whoo hoo ! The sun rises at 8:51 and sets at 4:25. And the weather is warm for winter way up north where we live. It was so mild yesteday we were able to top up the water in the hot tub, our one and only extravagant purchase. The whole family loves it, in fact the grandkids sometimes refer to us as the Grandpa/ma with the hot tub ! I must use it more often this year. I haven't used it very much because of the awkwardness of getting in with my knees. However it does wonders  for aches and pains.

I'm starting to knit more stockings. I want to know for sure how many stockings I can get out of  16 oz of wool.

I want to use up all my 'fine' wool in baby light colours. I'll use it in more baby afghans and get rid of it all. I may have to knit some more preemie hats.

I want to try and use up my quilting material, but honestly no one needs another quilt in the family !

As Hubby has been diagnosed with diabetes, due to his unhealthy diet and his mother and brother have Diabetes II, and not listening to me about his diet, I now have to take better control of meals. He'll learn. 

It's nearly 8:30, we'll see wht the day brings.

Aother relaxing day with lots of little jobs done. Satisfying.  One more day off and then back to work !
