Happy Wednesday Morning!

We have officially hit the middle of the week and I'm thankful that there is nothing for tonight. Ok so I am working for Chris today which means computer work. It kind of sucks to be here till 3 because grandmom basically sleeps or comes out and watches TV. I do mostly nothing. I get that she worries about her grandmother but she really is self sufficient. Hubby is still on a job search because what was supposed to come through hasn't. We're trying to stay positive though. He's beating himself up because he could have stayed with PLC until something came through but the woman for this job was so positive about Monday then Tuesday but yet nothing. So here we are with me being the only employed one again. I've finished Legacy by Carrie Ann Ryan and moved right into the Accidental Runaway Groom. I'm three chapters in and that's what I want to read lol. I love her books and I am so lucky to be part of her ARC team. Once I get this one done then we'll be moving into One Quick Obsession. Super excited. There's a puzzle that is still in the works. I really need to get a new routine lol. All of my puzzles are on their way to Gram's house now and it's coming along. Hubby wants me to use the table up there for the bigger ones and my 3D ones. I figure we'll see because we're not there yet. The table isn't even cleaned off yet. I have been working on blankets a lot. Chris's blanket is getting done. I finally have enough yarn I think to finish it. I think, not sure yet lol. I'm working on getting Kristie's blanket done. I need more of her yarn and Hobby Lobby hasn't been having it so I'm hoping Hubby finds it today. The thin red line one is so close to being finished. I have to do the square and I am thinking about how to get it done. Hopefully though I'll be finishing it next week. Once that's done I have a mission to do one of all the first responders so fingers crossed. We have the whole first session training of CASA now and we need to get that done. There's a few papers and some videos to watch then we'll move on to session 2. We're really excited to get into this and hopefully whatever job he gets lets him have the freedom for it. I know Shiroki would have but so far we haven't had luck with that. I'm still learning loom beading. It takes time and we've had meetings a lot and new stuff lol. Plus I have been obsessing about the blankets. When I get home tonight I get to relax. It's a new revelation when I don't have anything to do but what I want to do. Nothing that I have to do. The shop is coming along. It's currently in two different rooms but it's open lol. I've also been able to drop some prices on a few things since I don't really have to worry about gas that much since you know...shop lol. I've donated to a few different auctions this year already. I've donated to Angie and the Last minute Toy Shop auction which is the 28th of this month, the Rescue Squad auction which is the 28th of next month, I'll make a dessert for 59's dessert auction in June and I'll donate to 65's auction in April. If I can ever get my station to do anything I'll do that as well but I doubt it. I think that's it for today. It'll be a good one I'm sure :) What's everyone else up to?

Thanks for the update. I'm just trying to catch up here. I got a really late start.

I found I do better just going with the flow of whatever the day is going to be. I try to start or get done early but I don't have the get up and go like I used to. It's mental I know but it is what it is and I have to roll with it.

@LindaOHio Same. With the funk...I'm hoping I can push through it when the weather warms up but I'm pretty sure I'm just lying to myself.

That’s a busy bunch of stuff! I went to the dentist where they removed my will to live, and then went to the post office and pharmacy. Both the post office and pharmacy cost me much less.

I take it that the dentist wasn't a good visit?

@AmbiePam That's always a plus when you have a dentist like that. They aren't all that nice.
