Starting selenium program in a manually opened browser

I am using selenium and python in order to scrape data on a website.
The problem is I need to manually log in because there is a CAPTCHA after the login.
My question is the following : is there a way to start the program on a page that is already loaded ? (for example, here I would log to the website, solve the CAPTCHA manually, and then launch the program that would scrape the data)

Note: I have already been looking for an answer on SO but did not find it, might have missed it as it seems to be an obvious question.

don't open in headless mode. open in head mode.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time 

options = Options()
options.headless = False # Set false here
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://google.com/")
print ("Headless Chrome Initialized")
time.sleep(30) # wait 30 seconds, this should give enough time to manually do the capture
# do other code here
driver.quit()
