The whole weekend was spent in the yard and trying to get them back into shape. We've been busy and it's so easy to let them over grow....which we did. So both yards are mowed and edged and even resemble a yard now.
I'm making plans for flowers and plants next year. It's too late to put anything in now but I can plan for next year.
I stayed off of most social media yesterday. It was hard since most of my work is on there. You know selling stuff and my shop. I did do a lie to show off the shop as I've rearranged it a bit. I'm quite happy with it but there's still more to do. There's always more to do.
We're still working on getting pop's floor done. Right now everything is at a standstill because of that and it's really starting to get to me.
As for today, I'm inside today. I have a dentist appointment this morning then I'll be back to get things done.
There's a load of laundry to fold and one to get done in general.
We moved the file cabinet in the bedroom so I have paperwork to go through and straighten up.
I've been studying for advanced EMT that will start in the fall. It's a year behind but it hasn't changed all that much so I'll have a little leg up. I've been doing that and I'll do more today.
I've started writing to pen pals again. I'm really excited about it and I even got a few friends that I started writing to a while ago to start back up. Some happy mail instead of just bills and trash.
The shop is doing decent. It's open to shop and I'm taking orders on Facebook. I keep adding things and it seems to generate interest decently enough.
I'm reading the Final Target by Nora Roberts. I'm loving it right now even though it breaks my heart a little. It's still a good book.
I got the thin red line blanket done and now I'm starting the multi agency one. So far so good lol we'll see what happens as we go on. The goal is to keep the sides even this time. I'm counting but I'm not too positive that this is going to work.
As for me in general, as busy as I am, I am not ok. I don't think I'll ever be ok just moving. One foot in front of the other.
Back to work for me.
What's everyone else up to today? It's kinda overcast here, I think we'll be getting rain at some point.

The rain here has started but they're still calling for thunderstorms so I have a feeling things will get worse as the day goes on. Thankfully everything I have to do is early today and then inside.
