Good Morning Everyone!!
The weekend was so great!!
First off my husband managed to wrangle both Friday and Monday off so we had a four day weekend together.
Friday, my parents and my husband and I all went to the 127 yardsale that starts up in Crossville. It was awesome. We got a few things but not a lot and had dinner on the way home. It was an all day thing and we got to the edge of Crossville.
Saturday, my husband and I went a little further, only to Clarkrange. We got a few bigger items that we wouldn't have gotten if we were with my parents. We got cornhole boards and bags. It's customized fire boards so it was right to get them lol. We also got a big fleece blanket of Sally and Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas. It was something that I had been wanting so he bought it.
We got back from that just in time for me to dye my hair, bake a few thumbprint cookies and get to a friends surprise birthday party. We didn't get back home until one the next morning.
Sunday we didn't have a whole lot to do. I ended up cleaning some and my husband did the grass up at gram's. We had to run up to the Station and get ID's made and then rush back for another birthday party celebrating a friend's family's birthdays. She had multiple birthdays in August and all of them close so she just had one big party. That was a lot of fun and we actually got back in time to just relax lol.
Monday, we went into Knoxville. I got to go to McKays and target and barnes and noble. I was just a happy camper lol. He knows where to take me to make my day. It was such a great day too.
Today everything starts back up again. He went to work and I have work to do. I have a lot of cleaning to do as well since there was a lot of buying over the weekend lol.
There's computer work to do and I have to make the calendar up for this month's bills. There's more laundry to do and I should vacuum.
We got the word that all individual fire training is cancelled until further notice. The only classes that seem to be happening right now is rookie school. They said academy classes so the Arson one may be still going on but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if our regularly scheduled monthly training will be happening.
Things are changing again and it doesn't seem to be for the better. Everywhere is still reopening and going back to normal but the fire department is going backwards. I'm worried that everyone else will be following.
Oh well, it's time to get to work.
What is everyone else up to?

If I can't have some kind of fun I just don't go. Even dr appointments and dentists I can squeeze out some fun, a decent talk with the nurses and stuff

That's why I don't understand why the department is going backwards when everyone else seems to keep going forward
