We're Getting Closer

We're getting closer to the weekend and I couldn't be more happy. I'm not sure why since it's not like I get to sleep in. We have training on Saturday. I didn't get everything done yesterday. It's ok though because I did get some done. Four sites out of ten done and that's fine as well. I made good points on all the sites so I'm not unhappy about it. We went up to see dad when I got off work. He seems to be doing really well. He said five hours in the chair and he put a little more weight on his hips. They still needed the lift to get him up but it didn't hurt him as bad because he didn't rely on it as much. All great news. I made four bracelets yesterday. One as a gift and the others are up for sale in my shop. I got a lot of reaction for the EMS bracelet and that makes me happy. Today is going to be a good day. Even though we were up at 1:30 this morning. It's going to be a long day. I've been working on the frozen puzzle. It's been coming along great. Only three days in I think and we have an outline and Elsa is almost completely finished. It's a thousand pieces but the pieces look more like a 750 piece puzzle. I worked a little on my books yesterday and I will probably for a minute this morning. No reading last night as we had to be up so early this morning. I may do a little at Chris's today. I don't know. I try but then I squirrel and do something else. I'm having fun making bracelets so I tend to do that a lot lol. I got a few more beaded pens done and some book marks. There's a whole bookish line that I'm working on. It's going to be awesome and hopefully they sell. It seems as though I will only be able to do the one market this year. Angie's Christmas one is usually a great one for me and hopefully it will be again this year. As long as she didn't change the date like they talked about. We'll make it, I have a little hope left lol. It's Chris's today and then dad and when I get home probably dinner and sleep. I'm making chicken stuff tonight. Our actual name for it I can't say lol. It's like a chicken soup almost though. It's boiled chicken and mashed potatoes. Dad made it in the army, or had it in the army. I can never remember which. Now we have it here when we don't feel good or just want some comfort. What is everyone else up to today?

You have a very productive day today it seems. I love boiled chicken soup. Especially when it comes with herbs. I had an appointment with my wealth manager.

Busy, busy, busy as usual. Thanks for the update. Cousin #2 came over today to have me print out a 1040 for her. She took my wicker chest and lamp with her. Sigh. She also took a bunch of pears off of my tree.
