Knitting - Gym - Housework . . .

 . . . that's all that's going on around here, and it's basically in that order too!! Hi everyone, not much going on around here at the minute so I'm slowly running out of bloggy material! At this rate I'll be lucky if I post twice a week. 

So, what have I been up to? I'm still enjoying my knitting, been putting off going to the gym some days because, well, I just haven't been in the mood for it :-/  and just doing housework as and when I feel like it too! To be honest I think I've come down with a case of the winter blahs, which I don't know how because it feels nothing like Winter here in TX. Yesterday was a high of 77!!!! Yes, I'm complaining! It's only February for crying out loud!  I know most people if asked would love 70 degree weather in January and February, but when you get triple digit days for months in the summer, I for one would like to see a couple of months of just 50 or 60 degree weather. I think next week will be back in the 60's so I'll stop complaining now ;-)

I was trying to be productive last week and changed this . . . 

 to this . . . . .

 

Remember I wanted to clear my storage room out months ago to make a craft room for myself? Well I cleared the room somewhat but never actually did anything after that. This time I've moved a desk in there and moved my yarn boxes that were in my bedroom closet to this room. It's not perfect (I'm not even thinking of painting in here yet) but it will do for now. It means I can sew whenever I want, and although I don't sit in here to knit, all my yarn is at least in one place, or it will be once I finish organizing it!


Kristen is off school again today, she's been suffering with a sore throat for a couple of days and getting headaches. I'm hoping it's just allergies but yesterday she was miserable at school so I thought I'd give her a day off to see if she feels better. Even if it is just allergies, they're no fun either, as I can attest to! She was hoping to have a couple of friends over on Friday to have a sleepover, but if she doesn't feel better we'll have to reschedule for next week instead.

I've been doing well with my eating, and getting back to the gym too after a few days off, so I'll post again tomorrow with an update and join in with Liz's Water Party :-) I managed to drink over 64oz water yesterday - Sassy Water that is!! I'll share more about that tomorrow ;-)

I have the blahs today, and decided not to go to the gym. I did go get groceries though, and am now contemplating cleaning the house. It's chilly and VERY WINDY here. A good day to stay in I feel. :)

I like your little craft area. I think it would sure be fun to have a space like that.

I hope Kristen feels better soon. Jeven hasn't felt great lately either. Not sure if it's allergies or a touch of a cold.

Great job drinking so much water! That's awesome! :)

Your sewing room looks GREAT!! That's the room downstairs by the powder room right? Very nice!! I like how you organized your yarn too. I have mine just thrown into large bins and have so many bits and pieces of leftover skeins that I'm not sure what to do with them all. What do you do with the "leftovers"?

Hope your "blahs" lift for you & that Kiki feels better real soon. Would hate for her to miss her sleepover!!

Sometimes that's the way life goes, Denise! But hey, at least you've been productive. You made a big change in that space and it looks good. We all need our own little happy space.

I think most blogs need a little inspiration in February. I'm doing a photo challenge this month. I really talk too much for a photo only post so I'm using the photo as a jumping off place for writing.

Love your new space!

Oooh, I love sassy water!!! You have just encouraged me to get back into my storage room and organize. I may even get back on the flat belly diet! Chord, my shih tzu puppy is keeping me pretty busy right now though. Hope Kristin feels better soon! Carla

No Sue, this is the room upstairs that had all our storage stuff in it (and still does on the other side of the room!). Downstairs room is Jason's office ;-)
