Windy Day

Today is so windy out and that makes the house colder, well upstairs is colder. Anyways besides windy weather, things are going great today and the sun came out too!

I streamed knitting and crochet today which went well, may have messed up a few times but its always good to knit and to learn crochet too.

I am hoping to make a baby blanket soon and I may end up knitting the blanket. To be honest, right now, I prefer knitting over crochet but I have been knitting longer. I just need to practice crochet more and I will get better at it.

There is not much else that is new with me right now, I am still out of work with one job but get to be home and binge on Netflix and craft more. I still have my other job and just trying to be more conscious of what I am spending money on.

This pandemic is not fun but I still have a roof over my head, food on the table, clothes and I am able to pay bills, that is a win for me.

I feel like I have more to talk about but can not think of anything right now. Well, I guess I will watch some Netflix and relax, maybe knit later. Maybe I will do another movie night.

I hope all of you are doing well and that your day/night is going well.

Sunday Funday? Relax Day?

Hello and welcome back to "My Life's Writing"

How is everyone today? I hope you are all well and that the sun is out where you are and if not, I hope the weather is decent.

I have been in a mood lately and not sure why either. It could be the stay at home order from the governor and I am just bored and need to get outside or it's my thyroid and it needs to get checked.

Not sure what the cause is for my sad mood but I am trying to stay positive and do things to stay active.

Last night I watched Birds of Prey, it was good and will watch it again later today (rented it), wasn't sure I would like it so rented it instead. Also splurged on movies too which I was trying to save and that didn't happen, bought 3 movies so need to not spend for maybe 2 weeks unless it's bills.

Maybe I can do that, not spend. May need to try a week and only spend on essential items like food and gas (don't really need gas), I think trying for a week would be a good start and then try for 2 weeks.

You will hear if I spend on anything else besides essentials items, I will update on Sunday and will let you know how it goes.  I would like to buy a game for my switch but I should wait, want to get Splatoon in a few weeks.

So bills will be paid, I will make notes on my computer. I have a notepad and I can keep track on that and it can transfer to my phone, (apple) maybe there is an app I can track with. Will look into it.

Not much else going on, just catching up on shows on Netflix and taking some time away from Twitch. I stream my knitting and have a schedule, watch other streamers and sometimes just take a break from it too.

I like having some time to myself and with being home so much, feels like I don't get enough time to myself. I like being home and can work from home but I want to get back to work and socialize.

Other than all this, life is good and bills are paid so I am good except the sadness.

I am trying to drink 8 glasses of water (16oz each) during the day, think one glass of water every hour would be good and so far, doing good with it.

Gotta go, my niece is making a mess and I need to help clean up. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Update Time! The Sun is Out today!!!

This update will be done in between online school, I help my niece but feel like updating. So right now my niece has English class so be right back.

Not much is new with me, been home from work which is nice but crappy at the same time. Hopefully, soon I will get to go back to work and get outside more.

I don't mind being home because I can binge watch Netflix and I play a lot of Animal Crossing New Horizon and yes I do a workout while at home.  I also continue to knit and have taught myself to crochet.

Now to find an easy crochet pattern to try, it's not easy but I would like to crochet a scarf maybe. I can always try even with a simple crochet stitch. I watched a video on youtube and that is how I learned.

How are all of you that read about my life? I hope you are well and if you live ina country where you need to stay home or distance yourself, I hope it's going well for you. It's not fun being home but it's nice to get more sleep at night.

I do limit my going out, I only go to the store once a week for the essential items and that is usually on Fridays. I stream my knitting 4 days a week and Fridays I take off so I can go to the store in the morning then come home and relax.

I started a baby blanket this week, not sure when I will finish it but going to try to finish it by June at the latest.

Not much else is coming to mind, just trying to stay sane and not let things get to me. It's hard but trying to remain positive. It's also a challenge being home more and trying to spend less and wisely.  Since being home, I have to watch what I spend so bills are always first then put some money aside and then spend on food.

I think it's good to be home and spend less, it's a challenge but I welcome the challenge.

The sun is out today, it's cooler outside but yesterday it rained all day so I welcome the sun. I may go outside today but not sure what today will bring. Let's hope good things happen today.

That is my news, for now, not sure when I will update again but maybe soon. Some days I feel like an awful person and it comes out of nowhere. So please keep an eye out for my next post and thank you for reading about my life shenanigans.

Have a great day!
