Good morning everyone!
I just unmolded both the tic tac toe board and all the chess set pieces so my hands are screaming at me right now. The chess pieces are so hard to unmold.
Yesterday I got most of what I wanted done finished.
I got the computer work mostly finished. Studied about half of chapter 4 in the advanced book. Set up some new teacher designs for back to school. Got in some cleaning.
We went to training. It was a good one, Mr. Bill made a house to do the smoke demonstration. It was actually a lot of fun. We were in full gear and it was hot but it could have been worse.
All pen pals are caught up, the two that I have to write today don't count as I got them yesterday so in my mind I'm caught up lol.
Today I work for Chris. Yay. I have to leave early to get my gear out of my husband's truck then head down but that's ok. When I get there, I told my husband that I'd study but I'll write my two letters first then study.
After I get off work today I have to go to the city department for a EMS class. That will last until about 7 and from there I'll try to make it to the Rescue meeting. We'll see how that goes.
I've decided to restart the blanket I was making for Chris. It's past the point of no return. It's just going in on one side and there's no fixing it now. I just have to accept that and get it done. I really don't want to but it's what needs to be done. I'm going to attempt to go down to where it started going in but we'll see.
The shop is ok. It's not great but it could be worse. I have a lot of people say they want to come back and shop but that's another we'll see thing. I'm still trying though. Back to School and Fall items are coming soon.
I'm so close to finishing the Final Target by Nora Roberts. I doubt I'll do that today but maybe tomorrow. Our station meeting isn't until later tomorrow night so it's possible.
I've been thinking of carving out time to get back to writing. I miss it and if I can do everything else why can't I find just a little time? I'm at a stand still at gram's house until I can sell some of the bigger stuff and fix the floor so that is one thing that's down on my list of things to do.
Oh well I need to get back to work. I have other sites to try to do before I leave today.
What's everyone else up to today?
The rain is making it a little nice but humid. When we get the breeze it's not too bad.

Time.
Me too, sometimes I keep asking myself why I can't find just a little time in things I wanna do everyday. At the end taking time to rest and be offline wins after being caught up with so many things.
I'm here right now after being absent.

I understand that. I was absent almost all last year. Probably the year before too. I've been working more online this year though.
At the end of the day it's either studying or reading to unwind a bit. Most of the time Survivor is playing in the background now.
