Hard to Write Today

This is a very short post because…

today

That’s right, we’re having extensive tree work done and the chipper is right outside my office window. There’s no place to hide from the noise, and I can’t work effectively while it’s running. Can’t even think, really.

I didn’t know they were coming until yesterday. There was a missed communication somewhere. We signed the bid a couple of weeks ago, and I thought we had another week or two to wait, but here they are.

And yes, they are working in the rain. Welcome to North Vancouver. Not pictured is the climber way up in the pine tree out back. In the rain. That cannot be fun.

So there are no deep thoughts to share this week. I should be back to normal next time, but for now I need to keep the dogs calm and make sure things get done appropriately. It’s more than a bit chaotic here at the moment.

See you next week!
