Wednesday Morning

Tweet

It is Wednesday and I am thankful, even though it's hard to remember to be sometimes. The VA is helping us the best they can but mom was denied food stamps. I don't understand how but she was. Hubby put in for a new job. He would be working at a company that has recently acquired a paving division. He would be in on the start of it so it would be great for him. If he doesn't get it then he gets to stay where he's at. It sucks for us right now both ways. I'm sitting where I've been at. I will get my Thursday's back beginning next year. We've also changed it so that I'll get paid in cash next year as well. The shop is doing decent. I'm still pushing for people to come in and shop but it's hard when I'm in the middle of no where and everyone is broke and/or busy. I still have a few orders to finish though so that'll help. A friend called last night and I missed the call quota for Rescue Squad by one but I was at most of the meetings so I'm in the clear. When I asked her if she knew what we made this year I cried. One check will be enough to go home on. I was so worried we wouldn't be able to but now that worry is gone. We have banquet meeting tonight. I'll show up to it however there are many firefighters, myself included, that aren't going to the Christmas party or the Banquet. People just aren't liking how it's being run right now and no one seems to want to listen so we're now resorting to just not showing up. Rest assured we're still showing up to calls, it's just special events. Crocheting is going pretty well. I started following a blanket tutorial yesterday but I'm pretty sure it's more like a scarf lol. I don't care, I'm just amazed I can do it and I'm enjoying it. I'm still working on a few wreaths as well. They'll go up this weekend in the shop. Baking will begin tomorrow. I'm determined that after the lawyer tomorrow I'm going to get some baking done. I have a few fudge recipes I want to try out and a few cookies that I always make during the holidays the need made. I'm trying very hard to believe that things will work out but it's really hard right now when everything is against us. That's ok because we will persevere. I'm still reading the Seven Rings by Nora Roberts, the last book in the Lost Brides series. The DC puzzle that I've been working on is coming along fine. If I work on it a little every day I may actually get it done by the weekend....maybe the end of the weekend lol. What's everyone else doing today?
