Yes, it is a good morning. I told dad yesterday it's all about a positive mindset so that's what we're doing today. We're being positive. I am positive that I will finish the lesson plan today for my practical. I am positive that I will get more notes done out of the educator book. I am positive that I will get the dishes finished. I am positive that I will get the laundry folded. I am positive that I am taking ramen noodles up to dad today. Yeah, yeah I know. Busy, busy lol. I swear if I had a relaxing day, one for just me, I wouldn't know what to do. I got quite a bit done yesterday so it should make today easier. The lesson plan is actually almost finished. Just some finishing touches and to re-read it over to make sure I didn't miss anything and I can send it all off. I need to scan some paper work in to send with it but that's a different issue lol. The laundry is finished, I just need to fold it and I can do that when I get home tonight while the ramen cooks. I can fold a lot in three minutes lol. The dishes are being run in the dishwasher so they just need put away. That's easy enough to do tonight when we get home. The notes will be a work in progress for a while. As long as I can get about a chapter done every other day or so, I think I'm ahead of the game. I'm still reading the ARC Carrie Ann Ryan sent out. I'm so close to finishing but my husband has been having us go to bed early. Well, early for us. So I don't read as much as I was. We get up to the hospital around 4:30/5 and don't leave till about 6/6:30. It's a short visit but with us working I do the best I can. I bring up food for him and I make his coffee in the morning. Hopefully he'll be going over to rehab soon. Maybe next Monday. It would be awesome if he did. I'm still getting my ducks in a row for this public education in our fire department. I have a few changes written up if I can just nail a few other things down. I'm getting there and it's so exciting. A friend's daughter is going in for surgery today. I sent prayers her way and told that she's got this. She's a fighter like her mama. I'll text her later today and see how it went. I skipped our EMS inservice last night to go see dad. I probably should have went but dad was more important. I was already half up the hospital anyway when I remembered it. Today is grilled cheese day. That's what Chris's grandmother wants so that's what she's getting. Chris said that she has watermelon and angel food cake in the fridge but sometimes she wants it and sometimes she doesn't. I leave it up to her. Hubby has an interview today so fingers crossed he gets it. He seems to want this job and it appears to be a good one. It'll be hard for a bit because whether he realizes it or not there will be travelling involved but we'll make it work. It's all about the positive attitude. If you think you can, normally you can. That's where my lists come in and just prioritizing. Some things need done immediately and some can be held off for a day or two. I have to say I'm not so stressed even though I know there's a lot to do and a lot of bills hanging on this job and well, in general. I just have to breathe and work on the things I can work on. I can't say I've let go of things out of my control but they don't crush me like that did. What is everyone else doing today?

Slow progress is better than no progress. I'll see better when we go up later this afternoon

@JordanLader That's true. When it comes to health, you want slow progress. Even if you're not that patient of a person.

Concentrating on staying cool. I am going to go to the grocery store later. I could go to the bank, but I don't feel like doing alot of driving.

I hope your husband gets the job. I'm glad you're taking control of what needs to be done and putting it in a positive light.
