Here's to hoping that today is better than yesterday.
Yesterday dad went back to the hospital ICU. His blood pressure bottomed out and his potassium was elevated. He wasn't having an active heart attack but it's possible he did have one. We'll see what happens today but he was awake and alert when we saw him yesterday. All good signs. It's possible he can go back to NHC Rehab today or tomorrow but we'll just have to see.
Today I am off so there's quite a bit that I need to do.
I did a few lives on Facebook yesterday to get some shop exposure. We'll see how that works. I sold a windspinner yesterday and she left me five dollars as a tip. I thanked her and she was just that happy with it.
It's been a Hallmark Christmas movie week...weekend lol. It hasn't really left my TV lol. I've seen some that I haven't seen before and some favorites.
Today mom will go up the hospital. She'll let me know what's going on.
I have to go to EMS and put the hours up in the window. I didn't want to do it without Teena's approval. I know she trusts me but I would rather have the ok. I also have to go to the bank and Walmart.
I've managed to hurt my back somehow. With that I've been limited on how I can move and what I can do. I've been careful and I'm going to get a new topical today. The tylenol precise is just too much. I got the heat one and it doesn't just heat up it freakin burns. So no more.
I'll be doing computer work. We got up at 2 this morning and spent some times together before he left for work. It's nice to do but geez it's early lol. It's ok though because now I get an early start on the computer stuff.
I'm still reading Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts. I just couldn't yesterday but maybe tonight or sometime today.
I completely plan on starting to organize my books today. It's something that I've wanted to do but couldn't find the time then felt guilty about spending that time on myself. Well, today I don't. I want to spend a little time for just me and this is it. It'll be messy for a bit but I'll enjoy it.
Prime Day is this weekend and I'm hoping for a few good deals since I want to expand my shop. I even picked out the laser engraver I want. It took me long enough lol.
Oh, I'll be putting more stuff up on marketplace to sell. I think I got rid of a few books. We'll see today since she's supposed to pick up this evening. I won't be here so I hope she does. Now to get rid of more lol. The more stuff gone the better. One because it gives us a little money but two it gets some things out of my house lol.
Until anything is known, it's best to stay positive and that's exactly what I'm doing.
I hope that everyone got some sleep lol I sure didn't.
Got any plans?

I'm sorry to hear that your dad is in the ICU. I hope he feels better soon. I know you'll keep us updated. I'm also sorry to hear that you hurt your back. I have 8 calls to make today; and cousin #2 will be coming over to do the usual.

I'm hoping for good news today but it'll still be about a couple hours before she's up there to see. I don't even know how I hurt my back but this sucks lol. I hope you get everything done today :)

@LindaOHio I'll attempt. It's part of why my back is always hurting because I don't stop. Kind of can't.

I'm really sorry to hear your dad is back in the hospital but hope your mom has good news when she visits.
Also sorry you hurt your back. I know that pain very well. I alternate ice and heat along with Biofreeze.
Hope you find some reading time between all the other things you're doing. I'm working my way through a Susan Mallery book called For the love of Summer which is pretty good.
