Just kidding. My man is a hard working one at that. He is now working around the clock with short naps and even working through the night. His crew is devoted and hanging in there with it all. They are great. The client's "team" (architects) keep making changes and adding work which adds time and money to our budget. It always seems to happen at the end of a project, then the clients wonder why it went over budget and over time. It may be mid June at this point. I am beside myself. I know my sleep deprived husband will come home and sleep in comfort in our own bed and will be at the lake chillin for at least two weeks end of June. I am holding down the fort and trying very hard to keep my honey do list to a minimum so he can indeed have a vacation. I feel guilty when I know how hard he works. I used to be able to go with him and handle all the paperwork and office stuff but now I feel I am useless. I do handle some things but it is almost impossible to help while here. I miss being involved in the creative process too. I will one day get back to my job. He will make his mark here in Ann Arbor one day with out having to travel 622 miles away for work. We are blessed to have work.
I met my friend-accountant today and her family. We went to Zingermans for breakfast and then I did the farmers market and downtown home and garden shop. I will be planting more Monday. I can not help it when a plant calls "Buy me" I have to do it. She has survived cancer and looks fabulous ! She just finished treatments and is now glowing. I love her attitude and her family is amazing. We are planning to have a canning day when the tomatoes are ready to can and freeze. Salsa, pasta sauce, stewed, green beans, peppers, pickles, pestos etc. It helps to do it with a team in an assembly line. I can use the outside gas burner so we are not burning up inside. I also want to get a dehydrator when I can afford to spend the money. My friend has one and said it is wonderful. Maybe I will have to borrow hers for a week? My hope is to have a stand in front of the house where I sell plants and food. Maybe my neighbors would want to sell her eggs too? She may have a produce stand as well though? So I have the spring bug big time and I watch the plants grow daily. Some seeds did not come in? I think the frosts had something to do with that. I could not cover the entire garden. So I have seeds leftover and can plant Monday.
I was going to go to the lake but now I am pooped out and the old bones-joints tell me I did enough for one day. Enjoy your weekend.
