It kinda is a happy Thursday.
Yesterday I got most everything done including replacing the battery in my husband's truck. Thankfully that's all it was.
Today I'm back down Chris's with her grandmother. I met her at Hardees to get biscuits and gravy for her grandmother. We made plans to meet up on Monday to see the plot her new house is going on then she's going to come by the shop.
I'm adding a bunch of new designs to the shop. I'm hoping they'll be a hit as I could use the pick up. Both in sales and people wanting to come shop. I get that I'm not that stable with hours but I am still around lol. Once things actually get done I think it'll be better.
If a couple things sell on the facebook marketplace I should be able to start on the floor in pop's room. I'm excited about it. I have no clue how I'm going to get the twelve hundred to do the epoxy floor but I'll figure it out.
We have the finger print appointments set for CASA, after that it'll be the court review and background check. With some luck on the 20th we'll be sworn in and officially a member of CASA. It only took us about five months lol. I can't complain because they worked with our schedule and it's not exactly the most stable of schedules.
I started reading the Man of the Month series by J Kenner. I've been meaning to re-read it and I have officially started. The goal was to read each month in the corresponding month but I doubt that will happen lol. I'll just read them as I can. I love the series and they all have the same plot throughout. You can read them as a stand alone but it's so much better as a series.
There's clay waiting for me to make earrings at home. There's a clock mold for resin that's waiting for me to make it.
A new ring from Patrick Adair came in yesterday and I really can't wait to make that. The rings are turning out good but I'm not sure how to get the shine on them that should be there. We're going to try something new with this one and we'll see what happens. If they can't go in the shop it defeats the purpose.
It's going to be a good day. Everything will get done and it's even going to warm up.
What are you up to today?

Hope your stuff sells on FB marketplace so you can get started on the floor in Pops room. Also wishing you well with all your new ideas for your shop, Glad that today is a good day for you.
Nothing much going on here today, Getting ready for the family to come for Mothers Day on Sunday so it's just the usual tidy up for company.
I just saw that one of my favorite authors has a new book and when I went to read the synopsis I realized I'm 5 books behind in his series. Don't know how that happened

Lol it's so easy to do though. Get behind on a series. I do that on occasion.
