Good Morning Everyone!!! So I woke up in a good mood this morning. Without coffee so that's saying something. Last night rookie school went well. I found out that the two minute drills for putting gear on are gone. They now stand by it's better to put your gear on right than to have it on under two minutes. The rest of the night was power points to prepare us for Saturday. It'll be all hands on and we're playing with the hoses and water. We're working through lunch again so we'll be done about 2 or 2:30. I was going to take today off from working online but I decided not to. We can use the extra money now that I've gotten the money together I need for Readers on the River tickets. That is whenever they post them. Last time it was around now that they did but I guess maybe they're still trying to figure out what to do. Either way, I'm ready. We also decided that we're going to use our points on our credit card to stay at the Mariott this time instead of the Econo-Lodge that was across the street. I'm not planning on going again so I wanna do this time up a bit. So with that being said, I'll be working and just cleaning up a bit. I have laundry to get done and things to price for the yard sale in a few weeks. I still want to get out to the shed and try to get a few more things. With luck, hubby will get off work at two today and we can run trash and hit walmart. We have a birthday to go to tonight and I need a card. I would feel worse about not having a present but I don't really know her that well yet so maybe next year we'll do the present thing. For my birthday we're doing a small cookout and I'm only inviting a few people. I'm not sure if a friend of mine is doing something for me after the yard sale since it's the day before my wedding. It's a mystery. Guess I better get to work. What's everyone else up to today? *picture from google

Mainly just the same old thing. Like you, shopping, prepping for a yard sale. That is all after work.

I have to help the friend that I'm setting up the yard sale with because she works and is so tired when she gets home she doesn't want to price her stuff. So I go over and help her with it. It looks like it'll be a lot of my stuff this time though lol. She has a few things but I've sold a lot of her stuff on Marketplace since the last sale.

I joined the Volunteer Fire Department in July and part of the basic training is a 64 hour class they just dubbed rookie school. I guess because it's so long and all your basics.
