Haven’t done much today except the daily essentials like bed making, tidying up the kitchen and a couple of other things. Been battling nausea all day from the sinus drainage so I grabbed my Relief Band and it’s much better. The tricky part is making sure I get my vitamins and I need food on my stomach for that. Reed’s Ginger Beer helps with the upset tummy as well.
I’ve made a little more progress on the blue crocheted potholder but it’s slow going, even with the size G hook. So, I got to thinking. How about using a size H hook? So far so good. That’s it in the brown variegated yarn in the photo above. Much easier on my hands. I’m using a 40 stitch foundation chain, like with the other ones I’ve made, and I think I’ll need to toss the brown one in the washer when I’m finished with it. I don’t normally do that with newly crocheted potholders since they are usually more tightly crocheted, but I want this one to draw in a bit to make sure there are no spots where I could burn myself while using it.
All is well at the farm and Brad had a good morning with the grandchildren. His meeting went well and was blessedly short and he had the kids back at the farm with lunch for everyone in good time.
We had scrambled egg tacos for lunch and more chopped beef brisket for dinner. Brad has an appointment in the morning and he may bring something home for lunch. We’ll decide in the morning. I’ve got several loads of laundry to get done tomorrow and at least one bathroom to clean. Other than that I’ll continue with my crochet projects and catch up on some streaming video.
