Good Morning

I know that I wasn't on yesterday. I did work but my laptop died so computer work wasn't happening. I'm currently trying to get into a routine. Finding it is work especially since everything seems to change every day. I need it because I can't seem to get out of my own head. My bad moments are turning into bad days and I'm trying. Really trying to do more than just go through the motions. I'm figuring that no one is working next week so I'll be able to do some stuff for the shop. I can even go up grams to maybe try and organize the yardsale stuff and get the living room cleaned up. We'll see. Fingers crossed it only lasts a week, if that. They're saying Tuesday but if we get ice with it then we'll be the whole week just about. I know that I need to work a bit on here and that's why I'm at least doing this site but I don't know if I can deal with the others right now. I'll try though. I'm going to be cashing everything out soon and I'm excited to see what I can get with all of it. I'm working for Chris today but I stopped by EMS. I had to drop some money off to a friend who is in charge of the CPR stuff for this area. He called me shortly after and we're going to get together to make sure I have everything I need and know where everything is. He even said he'd kick me a few one on one classes so I can pick up some extra money. I'd love to pick up a few shifts but we'll see how that works out later in the year. I'm also hoping that they get this grant thing and I can go to EMT-Advanced class this year or next. I'm still working on bettering myself even though it doesn't feel like it right now. I started reading Legacy by Carrie Ann Ryan, it's the ARC she sent me a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting to it. It'll be book three for the year. I'm happy with how I'm fitting in the reading right now and I'm hoping that I can keep it up. There is also a good amount of progress on the new blanket. It's green bay packers colors and I'm making it for a friend...well for Chris lol. If I'm really lucky I'll get it done by Christmas lol. Well I have three more blankets to make that I can think of right now. One for my husband, my mother and Chris's husband. I warned everyone that they're getting blankets this year for Christmas lol. With some time off I'm hoping to get the library started and the shop up and running in the best way. We're switching the rooms around so it'll be a jig saw puzzle for a minute but I think we'll be good within a day. That is if my husband works with me and I can get some stuff sold. All in all, other than missing my dad and grandparents, I can't really complain about anything. Things are going about as smooth as I could ever ask for. How is everyone else doing today?

I'm sad today but I'm hanging in there. Thanks for the update. I'm reading about the big storm that is supposed to hit this weekend.

I hope you can find a silver lining in today. Yeah it's supposed to hit this weekend but you would think it's going to hit tomorrow with the way people are acting

I am sure you'll make it work. Getting a routine going can be tough.

It is and with everything I keep adding it's hard. Then the winter being well winter work is off and on so when my husband is home it throws everything off.

I'm hoping. So far it's not as bad as it was yesterday but still not great. It's just what it is right now.
