It's Tuesday which means I'm once again Grandmom sitting. It's not bad at all because she's a sweet lady. Just has memory issues due to the dementia.
I went yesterday with Chris to go take her NREMT for her EMT license. It's her second time. She told me today that she didn't pass...again. She has one more try then she'll have to retake the class which we have no idea if it will be offered here again.
As of right now, I'm still the only one in a class of 7 that passed. I finally got curious enough to email the licensing people yesterday while she was taking the test to see why my license hadn't switched over yet from EMR to EMT. I need to be fingerprinted. The email they sent never came through and they had sent it in June. Now I'm scheduled to get that done next Monday and I should be good to go and apply for EMS.
I know it's a lot. I'm caregiver to Chris's Grandmother four days a week, I run my shop basically 7 days a week, not to mention everything you typically do for a household like cook dinner and clean. Now I'm going to add part time EMS shifts to everything that are 12 hour days.
Oh yeah, let's not forget that I'm still volunteer firefighter as well as Rescue Squad.
Welcome to my busy life lol.
I finally finished snow white's puzzle! I was right, it's awesome. I'm working on getting it glued so I can start another one but I'm having a slight issue getting the parchment paper under it lol. It's a test in patience.
As far as the shop goes, things are going well. I have an event planned for at least one a month until the end of the year. I'm betting on Christmas making me some big sales. Plus what I get from My Mother's Market. I only got fourteen dollars the first two weeks I was in there so I'm hoping that it'll pick up better.
We're still saving for a house of our own. Our credit scores are going up slowly but surly. Hopefully it'll be somewhat soon. We're working on it, hence why we're pushing the shop so much and me getting another job at EMS. The hours just work.
I'm almost finished Love and Ruin by J.A Owenby. It's very cute. Dark but cute at the same time. I can't wait to finish it and I got a new ARC from Carrie Ann Ryan that I'm going to start. After that it'll probably be my halloween books. Yes, I have certain books that I read every year for Halloween or really just the fall season.
So what is everyone else up to?

Don't burn yourself out with all those commitments. Nothing much going on here. Have a great day.

I've been on the edge a few times but then I take a step back from something to catch my breath. This year it was the fire department. We haven't been AS involved as we normally are.
