lol apologies for the panicked updates this morning. i was having trouble getting ao3 to let me post a work as a collaborator. it was– anyway it was fine. but. i kept thinking i was going to have to run, and then there were a few extra minutes, and then a few extra minutes, and then everything was in a tearing rush of horrifying urgency, and anyway

the employee my sister hired to do the flowers called out suddenly so the two of us had to abandon Farmkid and run out the door to do the flower harvest. While there, we realized that at least two of the flowers we rely on for the dried flower for winter hadn’t been being harvested at all, so we had to clear-cut the beds so we can hope for a harvest in a couple of weeks– flowers don’t rebloom if not cut, and it might be too late. clearly this employee is not used to quite the flowers we have, and was either not aware of how to handle these, or they just weren’t a priority, or– well, we won’t have them this winter if they can’t be salvaged. Sister was annoyed because the one entire bed had been perfect, she’d pointed it out as perfect and ready now to be harvested, and from the look of it not a single flower was cut while it was in bloom and now they’re all browned and unusable. So that’s weird and annoying.

but. anyway.

i am so tired. but. still need to arrange flowers. and then this afternoon the sawmill has some of our boards done and ready to pick up, so we can do the next bit on my tiny house and maybe get some of this fucking plywood out of its wet piles. and then the rest of it can happen.

also today a huge concrete truck came and drove over the damaged bridge and the damaged bridge did not break and the concrete truck did not fall in, so that was awesome and exciting. and now the slaughterhouse in the barn has an extra section where a commercial kitchen is, at some point, going to be. with a real, nice, actual concrete floor not made out of cobbled-together pieces. it’s very fancy.

oh i don’t know where we’re going to arrange flowers, since we usually do it next to where they just poured that concrete floor. i mean… we don’t use that section anyway…. but… idk

Anyway I am delighted to have Adda’s rescue out of my mental real estate. the second chapter is done and I just wanted to glance over it one more time and I’m doing the farmer’s market tomorrow and A’s working and maybe Sunday evening or Monday morning we’ll have time to post that, not sure.

oh man i could use a nap, is what i want… (Your picture was not posted)
