Another Morning! Let's Get It Going!

It's a morning. We've been up since about two this morning and I've already been moving.
It was a shower morning since I never have the energy to get one by the time I get home right now. Then it was straightening up the room a little. It's not clean clean but it is walkable now. I worked on my new puzzle for about a half hour and now I'm folding laundry and doing computer work.
Last night was Banquet meeting and it actually went well. I'm excited to see something come from the latest "rumors". We said that we would give some of the...I don't want to say complaints but the comments that have been made the due diligence that they deserve.
Came home ate pizza and went to sleep. That was my night. That has been my nights since we got back.
Today I go to work for Chris again. I got my third day back and as much as I don't really want to, I'm going. While I'm there, I'll finish my computer work then work on this blanket.
I've just started crocheting and I'm enjoying it. I did a baby blanket for a friend that's having a girl this year. I just need to tie off the ends. Now I have a huge blanket in the making for another friend who's always been there for us. I'm using a different stitch on it and it's quite a bit bigger so it'll take me a bit longer.
I may even read at her house today. It depends on how frustrated I get with the blanket and how much computer work I feel like doing today. I decided that I'll do computer work when I am at her house so that leaves my days off for the shop.
Speaking of the shop, I'm adding more stuff to it lol. I love expanding. I'm still researching soap and I've looked at clay jewelry and seed beads. I may even try epoxy tumblers again and snow globe tumblers. I'm hoping that we'll be moving things around soon and the shop will be more open. Right now it's kind of crampy.
I have EMR tonight. I've been helping with this class but it's the first three chapters of the book tonight. Therefore I think I'm going to go talk to Kristie about what she's doing on the 15th because I have a scheduling conflict then come home. Those chapters are so boring, I know they need to be discussed but man, after hearing them two-three times it sucks.
Hopefully today just passes. Next week will be so much easier....I think. I would have to look at the calendar but I think so. Two meetings, a town hall and a banquet. I feel like I should add an Oh My! to that.
What is everyone else up to?

I love expanding. I just need to get everything straightened out and organized again. We're getting there, it's just hard right now.
Crochet is the one thing that I'm doing for me. I love making for others but I'm not ready to put it in the shop yet, I may never but it's always a possibility lol.

I think it just comes down to routine and scheduling. I've started scheduling which activities I do on what days. I don't try to do a little bit of everything in one day.

You are always so busy. Today I have another contractor coming to give me an estimate on some plumbing, carpentry and electrical work that needs to be done. Tomorrow cousin #2 is coming over to wait for Carvana to come and pick up the Subaru. It's now in her name; so she gets the check.
