Day 1770 | An Update
/
I’ve been skating by the last couple of weeks with a post here and there, but I realized a full update about what’s going around here might be nice.
A few things to note:
The bathroom is completely gutted and now it’s starting to be built back up again. The process has been incredibly interesting. I’ve enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The plumber was here yesterday to re-work all the pipes and the carpenters are back today to start framing up the new spaces. No one is willing to commit to a finish date, but there’s *a bit* of hope that they could wrap up before Christmas. Otherwise, it’ll be just after the new year. We’re handling it just fine, though, so you don’t have to worry about us…yet!
As you might remember, Chase was sick last week. He got the Walking Pneumonia diagnosis on Friday and I’m happy to report that he’s hugely improved. I’d say he’s at about 90% at this point—quite a shocking turnaround from last week. We’re all healthy at the moment so hopefully that continues for a least a little while.
I’m officially [mostly] done with the book festival. There are a couple of wrap-up meetings next week and I need to finish compiling the survey results (but I’m getting close), but, other than that, I can put the 2019 festival to bed. It’s been an exhausting few months and I’m grateful to a supportive husband and patient kids that enable me to do this volunteer work and help the community and a worthwhile cause. I’m definitely ready for a break, though. I see more puzzles and reading in my near future. Here’s the photo gallery with lots of shots from the festival in case you’re interested.
One final update: it’s cold here. Like, middle of winter cold. I’m not sure what’s happening (I mean, we all really know what’s happening), but I’m a little worried about what’s to come this winter. Right now it feels crisp and refreshing. I don’t think this sunny disposition is going to hold up for the next six months, though.
There you go! All caught up. :)
