It's Wednesday not Monday...Wake Up

Tweet

I am so thrown off due to the weather. My husband has been off since Thursday I think and I have been trapped in the house most of the week due to ice. It really sucks. When I'm trapped I don't get motivated to do anything, I pace and stare out the window. The things I could have gotten done are endless but I just couldn't. That trapped feeling gets to you. Today is the first day back to work. We were able to get out yesterday so I'm working the rest of this week. I figure my husband will be off for the rest of the week. There's so much to do. I spent yesterday after our trip to town, at my grandmother's. It will always be her house no matter what I do with it. I got a lot of clothes put up for sale and I think I'll be putting the dresser up next. We're making progress on some things and others it's stagnate. I'm reading a few ARCs from Carrie Ann Ryan, Legacy and Accidental Runaway Groom. I have to get them done and reviewed for her. I love her books so it's not a hardship. I keep working on the Green Bay blanket. I love the colors and it's fun to do especially once you get into it. I post progress on Facebook and Tedoo, even if no one else sees it, I see the progress from one picture to the next and I'm proud of myself for it. The shop I'm hoping will pick up soon. I'm thinking the weather has kept everyone in pretty much. With Valentine's Day coming up, I'm hoping to be busy. It would be nice as I haven't had a lot of work for the last year. There's still a lot of cleaning to do in both houses. We have station commander elections on Thursday. I'm not getting my hopes up but if I get lucky maybe I'll get it. I've been studying my AEMT book in hopes that there will be a class I can take if not this year then maybe next year. Everything has changed now and it's opened up a lot. I'm not ok and to say I am would be a lie. However it's one foot in front of the other and the world keeps turning. Citizen Soldier has been the band on repeat right now. It doesn't heal me but it helps me say what I can't voice. It doesn't matter if no one else hears it or understands it, it's out there. I've picked up beading. I have fabric to try to make cornhole bags. I have ribbon and pipe cleaners to try to do flowers. How I deal with things....I dive into new things and just occupy myself. Not the healthiest of things to do but hey, it's how I handle it. We're still looking into volunteering for CASA and a few more things in the community. We talked about it and together we decided that I would do CPR classes for the kids at the Spot, it's where kids can hang out and them ore troubled ones have a specific day there. Oh yeah, the decision was that I would do it for them for free. Depending on how many kids I'll cover the cards. CASA and The Spot are built on volunteers and grants so I'll do what I can. That also brings me to I'll be picking up some CPR classes this year. Trent is going to get with me to figure out what I need and the paperwork so I can get started. He knows how last year went and he's trying to help me get my feet back in everything again. Maybe one day I'll actually get the to do list down and have things to check off and actually get done. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a digital calendar soon and that should help. How is it in your neck of the woods? We're doing ok here now. What are y'all up to today?
