I set my alarm the other day, turned it off and went back to sleep for 45 minutes. When I woke up, I though - oh no, I am 45 minutes behind. I shared this with my husband and he asked "How can you be behind when you are retired?" I love the idea of copying a pattern before marking on it - why didn't I ever think of that? Murphy is adorable - just look at those eyes! Enjoy the rest of your week.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490533253436208034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-41686245517354583062021-01-27T06:58:44.521-08:002021-01-27T06:58:44.521-08:00Well, let's see. I have an Apple Watch that I...Well, let's see. I have an Apple Watch that I use when I do my morning 1.5 mile walk. Sometimes it does not close the circle (indicating I have done my 30 minutes and 1.5 miles). I can re-calibrate it and then it tracks all. It monitors my standing, walking, and moving. They updated it this year where I can see how my sleep is going, but not using it. I know that I have a sleep pattern like yours, 7.5 hours, 7 hours, or 6. I try to eat lite at night and find that I sleep better. <br /><br />Your quilt is so pretty and love the colors - you did a great job! Cross Stitch project is really coming along great! <br /><br />You are so correct on "I am late in finishing..." I have found that doing the To Do Tuesday with Roseanne helps to keep me motivated, but I do not beat myself to death if I do not get all done each week. This year I have a list of UFOs and I pick from them each day - depending on my mood. I do better with some daily goals - and just working on enjoying what I am doing at the time! <br /><br />Hugs and keep on with the tracking. I average from 8500 to 10,000 steps per day! I also use an app Called Pedometer and it tracks all my steps! The walking will get you to the 70's very healthy. I am 76 and do my 1.5 miles in 30 or 31 minutes each day! <br />Chopin - A Passionate Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070576868549479492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-37593705479443335932021-01-25T05:41:40.861-08:002021-01-25T05:41:40.861-08:00Love your RSC top!

I find I am lazy in the morning when I get up...unless I go right out for a walk which I have not done in months. Your quilt came out beautifully. Love the cross stitch... I see more people doing cross stitch now...it is making me want to pull out mine and see where I am on it.

I still pine for her and will see her again in Heaven. <br />All the info on your fitbit is worth the cost of admission!!! It's so interesting to me that we have perceptions of our own body, then when you find out the facts it can be so different. Good for you to be so active by the way.

An so is Murphy's look. Can just imagine her tail tentatively starting to wag at your attention. You're quite right with your thoughts on being stuck in the working world's time schedule. May also have to do with people having to work continuously in earlier time and thus the opinion spreading that if you're not working bodily or getting things done like housework, you're definitely lazy. My grandfather used to tell his children that reading is a sign of laziness. In his later days he did adapt his opinion, but it shows how centered many people used to be (and some still are) on being a support to society. Art and culture being reserved for those "good-for-nothings" that had no need to work for their living. Thank goodness times have changed. You are definitely not one tiny bit idle but even if you were - you certainly have a right to it!<br />Andreaandy's colourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568248449552301447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-38612408850292672782021-01-22T17:13:02.400-08:002021-01-22T17:13:02.400-08:00Your quilt is beautiful.

As long as I keep it with me. I don't think I do that many steps when I get up in the morning until I sit down to eat breakfast and have my coffee, though. I make up for it at work. Your quilt turned out lovely. Love your cross stitch too. Sometimes slow stitching is soothing to the soul. I liked your thoughts on being late. I have that problem at work, I always feel like I don't get enough done during the day, even though I hardly ever stop moving. OMG Murphy's face, how can you not just love on that sweetie.

I had to laugh about feeling behind in your own sewing; I feel that quite often and even tell my husband I "can't" get groceries on a certain day because I have to finish something - lol! I know it extends from my old work ethic, something that made me a good hire back in the day. It's hard to break old habits; I still get pleasure from checking things off my lists.<br />Congratulations on your gift of Fitbit! You are getting some good miles in each day. I stopped wearing mine at some point while we were packing to move, so I need to dig it out and let it remind me to stop sitting so much.<br />Love the glimpses of Murphy, reminds me of our sweet Buddy that we miss so much.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-33572971317129774992021-01-22T04:22:27.765-08:002021-01-22T04:22:27.765-08:00LOL!
