Yes it is still morning, I checked and made sure of it lol.
I just made it to Chris's house and I'm now getting down to work.
Grandmom is tired today so it should be an easy day. For some reason she doesn't sleep at night so she sleeps during the day. It's not good but it's not really what I'm worried about, as long as I can get her up around lunch we'll be ok.
I have to get these sites working again like I did last month. I did really good and I need to keep doing that because I have a feeling things are going to get harder.
So the more I visit dad and see mom I can see the assisted living becoming a real possibility. I don't like it, I want them home but I want my dad to be safe and healthy too. If that's the case, I need to make some money moves and fast.
I've been pushing my shop more. It's been doing well. I finished this beautiful rectangle slate and I absolutely love it. I have to remind myself that I'm supposed to be selling things, not keeping them.
I went book-ish so there's a bunch of book themed items coming up. Plus we're rolling into fall and Halloween. Super excited lol.
I've also been posting a bunch of the yard sale stuff on marketplace and mercari. Trying to push that stuff as much as possible for financial reasons but also for space reasons. The more I can get out of the dining room, the sooner I can start working on the shed.
Cleaning is slow going but I'm getting it done. A little bit every day, sometimes I have to go over the spots that already cleaned but that's ok.
I'm making time for myself too. I've been working on my books here and there.
My puzzle is finally glued and now I'm on Tangled. I got a little done this morning before I had to start getting ready for work.
Today I have a sale pick up and I need cat food. Then I'll be off to see dad. Hopefully it'll be a better day than yesterday. I think they messed with his meds and it caused some drowsiness. Physical therapy said they'll pick up where they left off and hopefully we'll make better progress than last time.
Everything is looking up...ish lol. There's always something going on. There was some trouble with EMS and hopefully it's going to blow over because I really don't want to screw this up.
After my last shift I decided I definitely want to go to AEMT. I don't want to be in that specific situation ever again. I also figured out it's time for me to do things I'm not comfortable with. I don't parade around like I know everything and I never signed on to any of the agencies I'm a member of just to use lights and sirens. I can speed in my vehicle because I know it, how it moves and what it can handle. I don't drive things bigger than myself on a regular basis now I do and now I need to get used to it.
I'll get there and I'll get things done. Just have to have a little faith and be ready to put in a lot of hard work.
What's everyone else up to?

Thanks for the update on your dad. You are a busy lady. I have some calls to make today and some paperwork to do. They are installing the new window as I speak.

At the moment crashed on the couch with the phone. It is so yucky out I haven't felt like doing anything today..I guess I will muster the strength to make it to the mailbox in a second though.
