Morning everyone!

I'm determined that it's going to be a good day. My dad is getting a trach put in as of now. We're just waiting to hear now. There's still a lot to work on but this was the next step. Staying as positive as I can. Gram has her case worker coming today. Mom is there for that. We're not sure if we'll go up to see dad or not. We have to see if he'll continue on fentanyl. If he stays on that today, there's no point, he'll be asleep. Good side effect. It's really hard to stay positive but we're trying. The shop is doing well. I finally got some Charlie Kirk decals up and a couple Supernatural ones. There's even been a few shirt orders. I'm happy with this progress right now. I've been working on points online to try to get a little money back to get out of debt. It's not a lot but it's a little something extra. I have also decided that I'll glue the NFL puzzle as best as I can and just put it aside until the new piece or new puzzle comes in. I miss that designated hour of distraction lol. With a little luck I'll read a bit tonight. I just haven't had the chance lately. I started coloring a little again. My back can't take a lot of bending over but I do a little now. I've been marathoning Supernatural and I got up to my husband's favorite episode. I'm waiting for him to watch it then I'll keep going. My CPR classes are finished and now I have to figure out how to turn everything in. Soon I will be an official BLS CPR instructor. I am signed up to take the 30 hours TOSHA class. Chris wanted to know if I was running against her next year and I just don't know. She doesn't understand because she's stopped asking but I just can't answer long term questions right now. Right now I continue as if nothing is going on because if I stop to think...if I stop and let everything sink in...I'll lose myself and I need to keep going. Anyway, what are y'all up to today? What's making you smile?

About as good as I can ask for right now. The perfect birthday present would just be the possibility of talking to my dad. We'll see though.

@JordanLader ........I hope you get that wish fulfilled. I'm sure if you can talk to him he can hear you and take it in.

@celticeagle I think he does. He responds when he's awake
