I have some burnt orange yarn in the dye pot this morning. My cousin requested that color for a toque and I decided to overdye another yarn in that same color while I was at it. My new machine for heating the water kept turning off. I have to let everything cool and then take everything out and figure out what is going on. Hopefully I can get it figured out and working consistently.
I have one of those Amy's Roasted Veg pizzas in my freezer for a treat, Nanc. They are good. Can't have it right now with my gallbladder but it is there waiting for me.
Fingers crossed that you are getting a ton of your work done today, Mihani. Good luck!0 -
Hi all, quick check in. Went to the office for about 7 hours today. I have a miserable cold or maybe it's just sinus/allergy crud. Laundry is in the dryer and I'm throwing together a simple soup of veggies, broth and miso then heading to bed. Have to go back in tomorrow no matter how I feel so I want to feel better. Did a shot of airborne earlier today.

sorry you got sick...it's so easy to catch something this time of year...especially when you get run down
today, sauna, trip to TJ's...and stuff around the house
coffee
brothy tomato soup with spinach
broc, rice and tofu
bean burrito using ezekiel tortilla
teamaybe a smoothie bowl
Carla, I did not have my pizza...maybe New Year's for a special treat. Good luck with the dying.
Off to gather myself to get to the sauna...they are remodeling the one I am going to (they will have infra red sauna and steam room, no dry sauna with coals)...changed to Mountain Side Fitness...EOS's sauna is hit and miss as far as it working goes.
Later.

Hi all, only stayed at the office about 6 hours today but we covered all our critical due dates. I'm pretty miserable with this cold. Tested and not covid. I am going to eat something, drink a hot toddy, and head to bed for a while. Nice to have good quality bourbon leftover from the party earlier this year. LOL
Food today ezekiel english muffin with tahini, had a handful of nuts at the office, now going to have some leftover soup from yesterday. Might have another english muffin after I wake up.

So sorry you're sick, M!
I made a huge pot of soup in the crockpot..
fire roasted tomatoes
carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, yellow squash, white beans, corn, kale, tiny macaroni...having for dinner.
My bean burrito was so much better using Ezekiel large tortilla...stupid me for not using it sooner.
I am going to try and skip dessert...not easy ... maybe an apple with a touch of PB.
it's been a lazy day...all I did was go to the sauna, shop and make soup. looking to a more productive day tomorrow.

Hope M is feeling somewhat better. Stay healthy, Carla!

Made it through today. I got up late so didn't get in until after 10:00 and stayed until almost 6:00. I need to get there on time tomorrow because we have clients scheduled all day. Going to eat a piece of ezekiel toast and get to bed. I feel marginally better now but wish I could stay home in bed tomorrow.
Nanc, maybe a little soy sauce or miso in your soup?
Cancelled my NYE plans, nothing spectacular but still disappointing. Don't want to give germs to people and doubt I'll feel up to it anyway. I'm going to make a pot of black eyed peas with cabbage, potatoes, onions and celery either tomorrow night or Wednesday. I never used to do that for New Year's Day but started a couple years ago and since I love black eyed peas it's a fun thing to do.

Sorry you are feeling under the weather, Mihani. Too much stress and long hours. Get some good sleep. *hugs*
I have never tried an infrared sauna. Please do report back on your experience with it, Nanc.
My new Sous Vide machine stopped working. The screen went wonky. I looked online and apparently even though the instructions don't say so, if you use it with an open pot, the steam can wreak with the electronics. I've got a silicone cover coming from amazon and will see if I can keep the moisture away from the head and get it working after drying. Otherwise I'm going to have to go through the hassle of returning it. All dye projects are on hold until this gets worked out.
In the meantime, I'm getting my little portable loom ready to weave a scarf. Once it is all warped and threaded (the prep to get the loom ready), I can do the weaving while we watch TV in the evening.
We are staying home tonight. Joe picked up some champagne and we're going to snuggle and watch tv until we get tired. We'll probably be in bed by 10pm. Usually Ruby starts complaining if we are up much past 9:30. She gets up and stands there looking at us and if that doesn't do it we start getting moans and groans. And then "the chin" where she rests her chin on your arm or knee and starts applying downward pressure while gazing up at you intently. It is super cute and effective which I'm sure is why it is one of her go-tos.
See you in the New Year!0 -
The sauna is not nearly as hot and I did not sweat at all. I did come home, had lunch and took a good nap, so that might have had something to do with it. My face got a little color, I stayed in 40 min. My phone did not get hot either. In the dry sauna I took little lunch bag ice things to keep my phone cool so I could use it. And I drank like 2 bottles of ice cold water. I did drink water in the infrared...supposedly it is working on a cellular level...I really don't get it. But I am stuck with this gym for a year.
Not all the locations have infrared...so I can switch it up.
Lulu and I are going to have dinner, watch tv and go to sleep. Two party girls for sure!
