'23 - The Adventure Continues ;)
Twoapenny:
I hope the juju clears, Skep, it's weird how it seems to go in phases. I know from my own experience that a paperwork 'mishap' at a time when everything is good is a minor inconvenience, but can be enough to break me when 150 other things are all malfunctioning at the same time. I am constantly baffled by the apparent aversion to good health that seems to reside in such 'advanced' nations. So central to everything we all do and so difficult to manage without. I hope the latest thing shifts soon xx
Hopalong:
Hope the good-juju has surfaced again, Amber.
And Hol's recovered her equilibrium (and not by re-traumatizing you).
I thought of what several folks have gone through as PTSD.
Post Terrible Systems Disorder.
hugs,
Hops

I just said a prayer for you and B... to move through the red tape and resolve B's back in the best way possible, Amber.

Sigh. It's getting better, but there are still struggles. Just life, you know? I'm just tired and definitely overly sensitive so it's getting to me. Oh, and on one of the cooler days, I planted more herbs and got zapped all over with no-see-ums again. SIGH. I mean ALL over. They aren't supposed to still be around in August, here.
A friend of Hol's recently bought a property (for playtime) reasonably close to here. She & the rest of her korass convened there Sat. night for a camp out. No S; no dogs to manage. A night "off". That seemed to help quite a bit. Sorta. I didn't hear much out of her yesterday.
Big doins' at the business; my guy in charge is looking to "retire" and we've been sorting that process out. He'll still be around 3 days a week, but most of his responsibilities will shift to his replacement. New guy has covered for him, quite a bit over vacation weeks and necessary medical leave. I think he's kinda tired too. It's a complete oversight on my part, but apart from a brief face to face meeting on my last trip up there... I've not spoken to new guy. I'm gonna bet that fact is just as prickly for him, as it feels to me. So, I have to remedy that this week.
I'm still a bit shocked that it's been 15 years, since we made the big change over to ownership of the company. Time flies when you're just as busy, as ever.
Contractors pulled off to work another job, for a couple days - that stretched to 2 weeks. A couple carpenters were here yesterday, part of the day... and hopefully they'll pick up manpower & put in full days this week. I'm pretty tired of the lumber sitting around (and warping in the heat)... and not being able to move on to the interior changes we've been talking about in the studio. But this contractor had retired, and got bored... and his carpenter is also as old. They have some younger guys too... but the energy they had a couple months ago has worn off, it seems. So I'm not impressed.
But it does seem the season is shifting now. Cool again this morning; 50 or so. And because of the lumber piles, it's an obstacle course getting where we keep wood stacked. B just has one more thing to update on the backhoe, and then make some space in the shop for his mill & lathe. And work on wood, too. He'll still be here, when friend Deb comes to visit over Labor Day. She needs some "time off" too, from her own "crazy".
Sigh. I'd like a "vacation" too.

Sounds like you really need to charge your batteries, Amber. That won't be easy if you're working in the heat, covered in no see;um bites, for sure.
Tupp said she uses tooth paste for the itching!
