I went to bed at 1 am but at least I finally got my bullet journal set up for November. And then I lay in bed, feeling super cold, unable to sleep. Which never happens. I mean, not the feeling cold-thing, I feel cold all the time, but the part where I can’t fall asleep.
After a little more than an hour I gave up, found a fleece jacket and fingerless mittens in addition to the extra warm pajamas, wool socks, down comforter and wooly blanket and read for a bit until I felt a little warmer.
I woke up at 7 and coudn’t fall back asleep.
Interestingly, my energy was much better than the days before. But that does tend to happen, once in a while not getting enough sleep makes you actually feel a little better but that never lasts.
I did my complete morning routine, ate breakfast with my husband and tried to finally fix the fingerless mitten. But no matter how hard I tried and tinked back, I couldn’t get the number of stitches I needed.
So I ripped most of the mitten back, all the way to the ribbing at the wrist and started again from there.
And I think I know what I did wrong the last time!
So, after the ribbing you do a provisional cast-on, pick up some stitches and then you decrease ribbing stitches. I did remember that I as supposed to decrease not half the stitches but 2 more. Or less. And that was the problem. I had put my marker that showed me how far to decrease in the wrong place which meant two steps further I had too few stitches. No wonder that ripping back the thumb did not make things better.
But now I should be on track. Unless I did something stupid in the evening while watching TV with the rest of the family.
I did the dishes and went walking/running:
Then a shower and then there was pizza:
Those are anchovies, they needed to get eaten.
After lunch I did the dishes right away, then some Genshin, and then I tidied the living room that was covered in sewing paraphernalia and pieces of paper pattern for the costume project.
Oh, and somewhere in there I also folded two loads of laundry.
The episode of ‚Mobius‘ was good but it had been so long since I had watched the episode before that I have a strong urge to rewatch all the episodes we have watched so far.
I might just do that.
After TV I played more Genshin and had to tear myself away at one point so that I wouldn’t go to bed super late again.
I started writing this post, the boy made me a cup of chamomile tea and I took that with me to bed to read a little so that I wouldn’t be super cold again.
And now for the last day of fall break.
