It's 4:30 in the morning here and I'm ready to go.....I think lol.
We have been so busy here. We've had training and the Rescue auction was Saturday. We did absolutely nothing really on Sunday we were so tired.
Yesterday however, I'm super excited to say I'm almost finished putting up the A authors. It may not seem like much but if you could see how many books I have to sort out and put up, you'd be proud of me too lol.
I wasn't planning on spending all day yesterday on books but I did.
I got my second CPR class done on Friday and the paperwork handed in yesterday. Cards are issued and I can now close that class out.
Today will be fun...enter sarcasm.
I have to work for Chris today watching her grandmother. Her husband's daughter, Serenity is here this week and she has her own chore list. They're moving so there's a lot for them to do. A little closer to town and about 10 or so minutes closer to me. So instead of 40 mins to get to her house it'll be about 30 lol.
I have a sale today after work. She ordered a 19inch peep for her granddaughter. It turned out ok I guess. She wanted a picture on it and she loves it but I don't. The picture is like transparent so it's the color of the peep. Not my thing but then again as long as the customer is happy that's all that matters.
The shop is ready to go. Even with still setting things up, we're along far enough to welcome people. Once the couch goes, it'll be ten times better. We're even going to be doing our own walk way. My husband has this idea all mapped out.
All crafts and recipes have a binder now and behind our TV so I can stop loosing them. I'll be putting new loaded teas on the page later today.
With some luck when I get off work today, I'll sort books for about an hour and get a little more done. Hubby won't make the new bookcase until Friday but I can still organize them so all I have to do is toss them up. Once the bookcase gets put up it'll also get some more box sets up and out of the floor.
I have so many projects still ongoing as well. My husband's blanket got worked on over the weekend but it's still in progress. Then there's Kristie's and Chris's blankets. I got the chain mail bracelet started. I have everything I need to make a ring now...well I have two technically but I'd be happy to just work on one lol. There's still the latchhook project I'm still working on.
I'm hoping to get some news about going to Advanced EMT class this fall some time this week. I'll be finished in time to take our MD trip in December and with some luck I'll be able to go home with a new license. I'm not counting my chickens before they're hatched though because no lie this will be a difficult class. It should be for what we'll be doing.
Not only did I score career day in May though, I got another shift that month too. At least I hope so. I got him while he was on a call so he may have forgotten to look into it. There's just a lot going on this year.
I'm still trying to find time to have a yard sale. It may come down to just not taking a training. If I get this May 2nd shift I won't be able to make extrication training so it's just a matter of what do I want more.
Priorities. We all have them whether we realize it or not and sometimes it's hard to choose. This choice wasn't hard to make lol.
What is everyone else up to today?
It's going to be a nice day today and I'm hoping to enjoy some of it with my cats and hubby.

Whew! You tired me out. Yesterday the big excitement was the tornado warning...sirens went off, sky turned green; and there was rotation in the clouds. Fortunately no tornado formed.

Phew! That was close. Glad you're ok and it didn't form. :)

@JordanLader Thanks. The only "tornado" that we've had that I know of was a waterspout that came onshore many years ago.

@LindaOHio We had two I think come through here. Not as bad as some areas but it did enough damage to have us out
