| Close Up |
I finished knitting my new scarf, today. It's a type of mesh-like novelty yarn, with a metallic thread running through one edge, that I had bought on sale and had in my stash. It knits up in ruffles. I used two balls of yarn to get the length that I wanted. It's not a really warm scarf, but, I love the shades of purple.
This morning, my friend A and her daughter C came over to pick up the documents to be faxed. It was lovely to see them, again (we wore masks, did our transactions outdoors, kept our distance, etc.) I had only two new fabric masks, but, I gave them both to C and told her I'll have more, next week. Later, C returned the documents that were faxed, along with a confirmation report, for my files. I am so grateful to her for her kindness.
After they left, I had breakfast, did a load of laundry, practiced the piano, watched some cooking shows on TV, and finished knitting my scarf.
This morning, when I checked the air quality, it was moderate. Later in the afternoon, I wondered why I was finding it harder to breathe and checked the air quality, again. It had gone to very unhealthy. I had opened one window, earlier, to air out the house, but, I closed it and turned on the air purifiers (I received the second purifier, several days ago). It is another hot day, so I have the fans going, as well.
Today, I am grateful for:
- C faxing the documents for me
- Air purifiers
- Fans
- Electricity to run the air purifiers and fans
- Inhalers
Today's joyful activity was seeing friend A and her daughter.
I don't have anything much planned for tomorrow. I hope that there will be better air quality.
How was your Saturday? What are your plans for tomorrow?
Your scarves are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped the air quality would be much better for you, but glad you have another purifier.
Thank you, Anne.
DeleteI don't think our air quality has been quite this bad in a long time. I'm glad I have the air purifiers.
That's a beautiful scarf. Maybe I should get an air purifier, too. You really can feel it in your chest when the quality drops.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie. I would highly recommend getting an air purifier. It helps quite a bit, I feel.
DeleteWow,that is so pretty! I love the color too! Stay safe and healthy everyone ☺
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalia. :)
DeleteThat is really pretty. I have not seen a scarf like that. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana. :)
DeleteWhat a fun scarf! I like the color, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Live and Learn. Reminds me a little bit of a feather boa! :D
DeleteThat's a very pretty scarf, such a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteNow that the documents have been faxed through, what's the next stage in the process? I hope it goes smoothly, whatever it is.
Thank you, Eileen.
DeleteThe next step is to send the insurance enrollment forms to the retirement office. I have filled out most of the forms, but, I have to wait for something from the Social Security office (either a letter saying they have reviewed my application and I am eligible for coverage or the actual Medicare card with a number) and send a copy of that along with the forms. They need the Medicare card number before they can process the enrollment forms. I have spoken with one of my former co-workers who now works in that office and he has assured me that he will do everything in his power to process the forms as soon as I can get them in; so, not too worried. :)
That's a very pretty scarf, lovely colour! I've seen that yarn but never tried it.
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to keep track of the air quality and so frustrating to have opened a window to freshen up the house and then the outside air deteriorates!
It's dull here and we were just going to go for a walk and it started to rain. We may get out soon as it seems like just a shower.
Thank you, Bushlady. I am knitting another one, with a silver gray ("Platinum") yarn. Red Heart Boutique Sashay Sparkle. I looked it up, online, just now and was shocked at the prices! I bought mine at the dollar store!
DeleteWe are having miserable air quality, today. I opened the bathroom window for less than half an hour and closed it! Have been running the air purifiers since morning!
I hope you were able to go for a walk, after all.
I'm so glad your medicare enrollment is proceeding along as it should.
ReplyDeleteNext year for me - you will be an expert by then so I may ask you a few questions :)
Pretty scarf - fun too
Thank you! Hopefully, when it is your turn, you won't need to produce all these documents and can easily do it online (or, in person).
DeleteStarted on a second scarf, today, but, the stitches dropped from the needle and this yarn is such, I am unable to pick up dropped stitches, so, undid the whole thing! Hate when I have to do that!
I'm so relieved you now have your air purifiers and I hope the air quality improves for you soon, it's nice to have the windows open.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is lovely. X
Thank you, Jules. The air quality continues to be bad, but, I am thankful I have the air purifiers.
