I'm looking at today as bright shiny and new.
The weekend held our department meeting. It went about the way I figured it would and that's ok because I can still do what I want basically.
Those changes and updates will come at a later daily update though. I don't want to confuse people with too many days and dates lol.
We'll just say that, I'm still making the changes I want to make and they will be for the better.
Today, I am working down Chris's. Grandmom came out of her bedroom to watch Diagnosis Murder this morning while I type this. It's always better when she comes out of her bedroom but she gets cold so she'll bundle in her bed and sleep. It's what she does.
While I'm here though, I'll get some computer work done. I had to buy a TV last night so there went my CD organizer. I'll be working twice as hard on here to be able to get it.
Gram's room is almost finished. I sat in the middle of her room Saturday night and had a good cry. I mean I just broke down. I guess it was time for at least one of those. Her room is really almost empty except for our stuff now. We moved the game systems up there and the TV is set up and ready for the Roku stick that mom is giving us. The games are bagged up and just need to be taken up now.
While I'm at Chris's though I did say I was going to do computer work but I also have a bunch of other stuff. My yarn for crochet and some beads for bead work.
I have some beautiful red, white and blue seed beads that I want to try. I even bought a loom but I'm not sure how to use it. I'll be learning though.
Tonight I have to say will be uneventful...unless a call comes though lol. For once there are no meetings or trainings so I'll get to relax.
I'm treating every day as a new day and a new opportunity to get things done. It's time I stop wallowing and get a move on.
Just wait until everything is finished, it'll be great. It hurts like crazy but it's also reassuring in a way. Even in death, my dad and my grandparents are looking out for us.
We're making it work.
What is everyone else up to today?

@JordanLader I'm sorry that it wasn't easy. At least you're happy about them. Routines can definitely be a good thing.

@dodo19 I love routine as I can always get things done that way. I don't have one right now with all the changes to our life that's happened lately and I really want to get back to it.

I had to get over being upset but it will. I'm excited for the changes even though I know they won't be welcomed by everyone.
Routine can be good. I miss routine lol.

Ooh! I'll take anything you make that's red white and blue! My favorite colors!
Today I have a doctor appointment, laundry to fold and put away, and a letter to get ready to send and another to start! I'm also going to get some reading done and I want to take photos of something to put on eBay.

I hope your appointment goes well. My husband is doing the laundry since he's home today which means I'll need to fold it later lol. Good luck on Ebay, I hope you get it done.
I'm trying to get done some red, white and blue items since this is a big fourth of July this year.
