We've been in the planning and prepping phase getting ready for serious renovations on our house, and it's been difficult spreading my attention between house stuff, nursery stuff, and parenting an I Do/ runner of a toddler. Now the only things in our living room are a speaker, my wife's workstation, and a chair, our daughter is helpful in the garden (if the gate is closed), and I'm basically prepped for market season which starts Saturday. I kinda feel like that last dollop of jam in the jar that's probably not enough but the peanut butter has already been spread and this sandwich is happening no matter what. The anxiety has been keeping me from engaging with the online communities that I love, and that lack of interaction has honestly only compounded things.

So, I've missed you all and hope you don't mind that I had to hunker down so much to survive the hardest adulting in my life.
