Good Afternoon!

So I'm a little late on getting a post up today.
Usually my posts are bright and early in the morning but today I did something different. I worked all of my sites backwards.
I started with the survey sites this morning and saved this one for last. I had this thought that I may be able to focus more on here if I did it that way.
It worked out to a point. I got all my sites done this morning and I am now focusing on here.
It also means that once I'm done here, I can leave it running in the background and go on to other things.
Like writing. I can leave this in the background while I write. Which I actually want to do.
Or I can read, I have a new book to start today. I read the first few pages when I was searching for my last book to read and I would have sworn that I've read this one but according to every record I have I never did.
There is also shop work to be done. Did you realize that today is Autism Day. I sell things for Autism all year round but today is the actual day. I need to get that stuff up and do some promotion.
The wind is going crazy here so I'm hoping that it doesn't knock our power out. I can do a few rabbits when I get home. They're popular and I'm happy they are but I've just been off the past day or so.
My mood today is definitely off but that's due to fire department issues. I swear if it's not one thing it's another and I'm getting so tired of fighting. But that's a whole different post.
Chris's grandmother had a doctor's appointment today so I was about an hour later getting started here. I don't mind and it'll help me get her out on the porch at some point when the weather turns. I have to watch because the sun is warm but the shade is chilly. The porch is forever shaded so I don't think I'm going to get her out as often as I'm trying to.
Even her doctor said she needs to try to get moving. I can get her to walk around the house but outside is a totally different story.
What's everyone up to today? Fingers crossed I can get what I need to get done, done.

I will at some point. I think part of it for me is the weather. The mornings are still a little chilly and then I'm gone most of the day.

When it comes to grown adults there's little you can do if they don't want to help themselves. For a year I couldn't get George off the couch. One day last week, he suddenly decided enough was enough and he wanted to try to better himself. He's using a walker, but he's up and moving.

@JordanLader My husband, George, can be the same way. If I have to do something in reguards to his peg tube, he won't fight a nurse, but he will fight me unless I do things on his terms. He often growls at me if I have to do anything. He fell asleep around 1, but we didn't get to bed until about 4, and I know, I could've left him on the couch, but I need to flush his tube before bed and ensure he's dry. So, leaving him alone is not really an option.

@kaylachan It's really rough on family and I'm not sure if they fight family more out of pride or if it's something else.

She gives her grand daughter a hard time over certain things and usually I don't get a lot of fuss. So when I mention going outside it's like she wants to but the weather is crap and I can't really argue with that.

One of my survey sites is weird. I had to upload the app on my phone because it no longer works on my laptop.
Grandma needs their sun but not directly. I hope you find a good spot.

I have two of those and it's usually ok because the surveys are usually short.
She has a spot just need the weather to cooperate.

That's nice to know that it works for you and made you more productive.
Whatever that made your mood a bit off today I hope it will come to past and may you have a great day ahead.
