NEXT GOAL IN SIGHT

 I have my next Weight Goal in sight!

I just need to lose 4.2 kilos and I will be the lowest I've been in 13 years. 

THIRTEEN YEARS!

When I hit that magic number (not telling)... I am going to be so, so happy!

ABOVE:  Two months of mucking around... OVER.

I'm more determined than ever to get to my next goal now.  

Today I will be in the sewing room, working on those Fish Cushions.  They are bugging me now.  I hate having 'orders' hanging over my head.  And these cushion covers have been on the order list for a while now.

9.36 am:  Whelp, no sleep in for me, or rather, lie in.

ABOVE:  Two boys here today with sore throats.  Well... 100%  sure Archer has a nasty cold.  Dante?  Not so much.

But, if you take them to school and they say they have a sore throat, they are sent home.  Can't win.

Thanks COVID.

So, I'm sitting in the family room stitching tops to bottoms of Glasses Cases.   And I mentioned to Bex how hard I find it to pull the needle through the fabric while using a thicker thread.  And she suggested using these:

ABOVE:  Pliers!  OMG that works.  Though I might buy myself a pair of cute little ones, just for stitching with.  Those two are big and clunky.

I have finished 6 cases, only two to go then I will go into the sewing room.

ABOVE:  Step one done.  Get the fabric ready for quilting.  

After that will be making and arranging the fish.

I'm now looking at the clock, thinking it's probably lunchtime and I should go and check on the boys.

I've only been in the sewing room for about an hour.  Long enough for now.

Well, the boys were just fine.  Happily playing on their Chrome Books, and with the dogs.

I just had an open wrap.  So yummy.  And filling.

Having it 'open' means you can load it up with lots of free salad type veges.  I also had one chicken schnitzel and two eggs again.  All up 11 points, which isn't even half my daily allocation.

Not that I'm following that too seriously.  But tracking the points values means I can keep an eye on portions, and healthier options.

Tracking also means you don't 'forget' what you've eaten, and you know that you can have that nice hot, sweet drink at bedtime.  😊😋  And by 'sweet',  I mean I use EQUAL not sugar.

Bex will be here to pick up the boys soon.  Once she's left I'm going to the Chemist Warehouse to get some more eye liner.  I ran out last night.  

I might also have a quick walk around the Base, for exercise.

My afternoon was lovely.  I went to The Base and got my eyeliner, then had a quick walk around the perimeter of the shopping centre, before coming home.

I then had a nana nap! 

I have not been sleeping that well, cold/hot, cold/hot.  Bloody menopause is dragging on, and on, and on.  18 years for me now.  I shall probably go to my grave having a bloody hot flush!

I made Stew a lovely open wrap for his dinner, he LOVED it.  They really are a wonderful option.

Now.  It's gone damn cold again, so all wrapped up, feet up, watching TV while knitting some more tops for cases.

Catch ya tomorrow.
