Today, I stayed home and puttered around the house. I worked on getting things put away and straightening things up downstairs. It still had signs of me being away. I usually attempt to leave the house straightened up before leaving on a trip...one of the last things I do after getting packed and all ready to go. Well, this time since I fell not long after I closed up my suitcase, I didn't feel like doing as much as I usually would have done...only did the essentials. Plus when I get home I have things to put away...like camera bags, etc. that I hadn't put away, yet. So I worked on those things today. I also did some cooking. I had bought chiabatta rolls so decided that I wanted a sloppy Joe-type recipe called Souper Burgers. I had a sandwich for a late lunch. I have the dishwasher all loaded, but now have some dishes to wash by hand. Once I get those done, I will settle in for the evening and do some more stitching. I am working away on the last row in the section of the sampler that I am working on. It is more stitch intensive than the rows of alphabets. I am back on border designs. I am through with the ABCs in this section. This row that I am working on is half into the next section...so I am finishing one section and putting in the first part of the row in the next section. At this point in a sampler this size any stitch is a stitch closer to the last stitch...that last stitch is very far in the future!!! On breaks today, I have done some reading on the book that I am currently reading. I finished another book...of sorts...probably considered a short story...I listened to that story via an audio book. It was nice to see the sun shine today. I did walk out and empty the rain gauge. I estimate that the rain water that I poured out had accumulated over a 72 hour period and it measured 3 1/2 inches. I finished putting my Fall decorations outside this afternoon. The rain helped me be able to push a couple of them into the ground. My garden plants are pretty happy after all the rain. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
