It is still morning. I double checked to just make sure.
It's already been a month and it's only the beginning of week 2 in June.
There's a lot of things going on as usual I know I always seem to have a lot lol.
I got home just in time for a brush fire so I was being already exhausted I made myself even more tired lol. I just couldn't not go.
When I finally got home, I loved seeing my babies. My dad was doing well and everyone seemed to be better.
Well now it all seems to have hit the fan.
I have now added a lot more work to my schedule. We don't have a public education program or even paperwork so I am sitting and trying to make forms and schedules and things of that nature. It's a lot and now that I'm on that I have a few changes to make to the Safety Officer standards as well.
Chris got a tad upset because she feels like she's getting shut down and here I am with schedules, plans, changes and the like. She was so frustrated yesterday that she said she was ready to forfeit the office to me but she can't. To take the Safety Officer position, I need to be TOSHA certified and I don't have that yet. Probably not until November. So she needs to keep this title until next year.
Dad is still having issues with shortness of breath and his walking is still pretty bad. He tends to think he's doing so well that he rushes things and because of that he falls. Thankfully last night there was no fall. He goes to the dr on Thursday so we'll see what they say.
I found out today that he holds his breath sometimes when he walks. I told him you can't do that, that's probably part of the shortness of breath issue. I'll see when I get home how that went. He's now on albuterol to open up his lungs a little more.
I have to get to the Crafter's Market today and switch out some items. I don't think I've switched anything since Valentine's Day so it's way past time. I have a few things I just finished pricing and at some point this week I'll make more to put in there.
I have this eagle mold with feathers that I want to do in red, white and blue. Once I get one or two done I'll put at least one in the shop.
There's some cleaning that needs done still as well. The kitchen is a bit messy but that can be cleaned up in no time. Nothing hard core, minor cleaning. I love when I can say that.
I still want to organize my books and I think I will when I get these notes and paperwork for the department finished.
I'm still studying and prepping for the AEMT class in August. I'm looking to finish my CPR Instructor by July so that I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I'm close to being finished the new Carrie Ann Ryan ARC. I just couldn't bring myself to read last night. I started watching Ginny and Georgia on Netflix and I was gone. Then to show how bad my sleeping is, when my husband went to bed I stayed up and watched a new series on National Geographic with David Blayne.
Oh did I mention that I'm still doing computer work between everything lol.
How is your day going?

You have so much going on. And it's impressive the way you are handling them all and even managing to do some computer work in between.
Hope the Thursday visit to doctor can be helpful to your dad. Falls can be dangerous. It has to be avoided at all costs.

I'm hoping they can figure something else out. I'm starting to wonder if it's a mental thing for him.
As for the list of things to do, if there's some organization and schedule I can usually get everything done or at least a majority.

@JordanLader I hope that they find him and give right kind of treatment. Many people develop such mental things with growing age and insecurities around old age. Sending prayers and positive vibes. Take care.
I make a to do list in the night before hitting the bed, else I am like a headless chicken the next day.

@arunima25 Thank you. We'll find out today.
I try to do things like that but then I end up laying in bed and the things just keep running through my head and I can't turn it off. I add things, I take things off, I move them around on the list in order. It's a nightmare. Come to think of it I do this whether I write out the list or not lol.

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope his appointment goes well tomorrow. Thanks for the update. Don't stress yourself. Do one thing at a time.
