I'm not sure how bouncy I am but I am here and present...of course with a to do list a mile long.
Over the weekend was rural water training. As usual it was a great training even though I got sunburned like crazy. The lower part of my arms and around my neck. Yeah, I'm really feeling it.
Monday was trying to play catch up with the things I couldn't do over the weekend. I only about half succeeded.
Today I'm working for Chris. I was a bit late because I had to stop by EMS. I had things to give to Kristie and to Teena then of course I got caught up talking.
We talked about the schedule for advanced class which means instead of quitting I may just drop a day with Chris. I like the schedule though and I can work around it for clinicals. I'm super excited about it.
Ironically no one is worried about me passing this class but me lol. Everyone thinks I already have this aced and we haven't even started yet.
It turns out that I got something on Prime Day after all. Hubby got me a hat press so now I do hats for the shop. I only bought three from hobby lobby and all three are spoken for. One was for a co worker's son's birthday, one was for a friend and one was already bought. I'm super excited about this addition lol.
When I get off of work today I have to go and open up the shop for two customers. At least I hope two. I know one for sure and I'm hoping the other shows up.
Not much will be getting done this week because I'm working...a lot. Today at Chris's, tomorrow a ride along at EMS, Thursday at Chris's and EMS, then Friday at EMS. I'm so going to crash Saturday lol.
In between everything I'm still studying. I'm still reading, cleaning, and maintaining the shop. Selling things when I can.
It's been a lot and it will be a lot for a bit but at least it's things that I can work around and with. With everything I keep saying I can do it, I'll get through it and I will. I just want to complain about it a little first lol.
Things will get better and easier after time. We just need to get through it lol.
What is everyone else up to today? We have heat advisories all week and I chose to work the jamboree which is all outside. Yay me.

Our jamboree isn't too bad. I've never worked it before, this will be new. I doubt I'll do it again though.
