OK, That’s Quite Enough, Thanks

Holy guacamole, y’all.

And we thought 2020 was the only year that needed therapy and chocolate and fuzzy blankets.

Spoiler alert: this is not a real post with anything particularly useful, but if you have it in you to hang through it, it might help to at least explain SOME of what all is going on around here.

I’ve been too busy everywhere but HERE for a while.

But I didn’t desert you.

I have watched some $hitshows.

My own life became more chaotic than usual, and there were days that even ‘The Machine’ shut down because there was just not enough caffeine on the entire planet to handle so much crazy.

I guess its not ALL bad, though.

Here’s the recap:

• I opened another business as Owner and it took off (much faster than I expected it to)
• I fired and hired assistants (and the learning curves really need to lay off the nachos)
• A frivolous claim was filed against me (that I disputed and won, but it was a pain to deal with)
• Our local decision makers sometimes act worse than anyone else we know, and it is hard to stay optimistic about our future or passionate about opportunities with all of the drama going on, much less get actively involved or keep trying to make a difference
• I am potentially losing my star player to bigger and better things (because I have worked myself out of a job again)
• Three of the companies I work for are actively going through some big transitions (and I am responsible for much of the choices that affect the outcomes, so the pressure is real)
• The wife of our son’s murderer has her day in court coming up, and we will be there and have to relive some of the wrongest wrong ever
• We lost my sweet Pop, with no warning at all (I am not only a Daddy’s Girl, but also the Executor of his estate, so there is a lot to do while grieving pretty hard, and no time to do it in)
• Our newest Grand was born a month early, without warning, in the same week my Dad died and also on what would have been our son’s 30th birthday (so the emotions around all of that are pretty interesting)
• We have two, count them, TWO new Grandgirls coming in November!
• We took a long-overdue vacation and are still unpacking with another trip already booked
• Our favorite niece is getting married and moving out next month and I am not ready for it
• We’ll get to mark another concert off of our bucket list (Eric Clapton will be here soon and guess who has tickets?!?)

Captain Helpful reminds me that work-wise, I am getting everything I have worked so hard for, and I know he’s right, but still…..

Any surprises or big changes for you this year?
