In the Heat of the Night?

I got up early today.  It was warm and my usually cozy morning bed was uncomfortable.i went to shower and as I prepped, I thought wow, it's warm in here.  The furnace started up and I felt that it was too hot to breathe.  I texted Keith and asked if it was just me having a hot flash.  He was just noticing the heat too.  The heat was verging into holy batman territory and the shower I took was a very cool one.  Meanwhile Keith got up to find that the front door had popped open just a crack.  There was a nice little ridge of snow standing where the door ought to have been so Keith felt it couldn't have been open for too long.  No snow had come inside.  This house shifts a lot, so our front door is locked day and night. We had a delivery midday and Keith forgot to lock it after that and at some point, the wind popped it open.  As for me, I am finally feeling comfortable.  But that was how my morning started.  

I spent the day knitting yesterday and made good progress.



I've been using a progress keeper lately, particularly at this point in garments.  This part can feel as if no matter how many hours I knit it never gets any longer.  It was getting me down.  Sometime last fall, I put in a progress keeper on a garment and it helped.  If I can do an inch a day, I will be satisfied.  It isn't the several and more inches I used to be able to do but then, my hands are older now.  This will do.

More blue knitting today.  All of it good.  

Gee whiz.  I am starting to feel chilly now.  I need a heavier sweater.
