Morning

It's Thursday morning. July 16th. My dad would have been 81 today. It's his first birthday not here. I know that he's not in pain anymore but it still hurts. I got the text yesterday saying that I'm not needed today, her words so I'm home all day today. I have my computer work to do and cleaning so it's not like it's a real hardship. It screws up my budget a bit but what else is new anymore. I put up that the shop is open today so we'll see what happens on that front. I have a couple shirts to make today. It's for a co worker of my husband's and her boy's birthday. The design is massively cute so I'm excited to do them. I figured out how to make Lilies out of pipe cleaners so I've been working on that for my mom's birthday. She hasn't been feeling well and since she's actually allergic to flowers I thought these would be nice. Very unlike myself however, I'm wishing for calls today. Just something. Until then though, online and house work. There is an R&R meeting tonight that I have to go and smile for but that's much later tonight. What is everyone else up to today?

It's so frustrating when you try to keep life on a normal pace then something sets it off track & throws the rest of the day off course, hope everything falls back on track for you.
