The F has had a rough couple of weeks. He had a surgery that left him somewhat debilitated for a few days, then the motherboard of his printing press went down, so it’s been a mad scramble to try to fix it while orders pile up, while also trying to get a deal on a new press, all while we’re having global shut downs and supply chain issues. I’m not 100% up on exactly what’s happening, all I know is he’s the most stressed I’ve ever seen him, there’s a chance he’ll be out of work for weeks or months while this issue gets resolved, and there’s a chance we’ll have to cancel our entire Thanksgiving trip, which has me completely gutted. Today he goes to check to see if the latest repair takes; by late afternoon we should know if he can skate by for a few weeks or if he’s really screwed.
On my end, things are looking up - I’m down to the last bunch of items to be uploaded to my Etsy store before I'm officially done; the grant money I’ve been waiting months for was finally deposited, now I have two more I should have approval on in the next two weeks; I talked to a wedding planner that didn’t stress me out like the first person did and hired her, so now I have some guidance going forward - my time with her starts on Dec 4 (six months out); the kids got their first shot, and, most importantly, after a two month hiatus, work resumed on the cabin yesterday!!
We’re still miles away from it being done or usable - we still need a roof, door, windows, patio, and entire separate structure for bathroom and shower. But at least for the moment I can say he’s trying to finish and didn’t just disappear with my money. So, very very grateful for that. Will we have this thing for the end of the year? I don’t know, but I’ve started ordering macrame wall hangings and hammock chairs just in case!
Here’s the boys enjoying post-shot frozen yogurt.
