First, and most importantly for you, I do believe I’ve fixed our web forms. If you need to contact us<\/a>, sign up for our newsletter<\/a>, make changes to your address<\/a> – it should all be working – for the moment – I hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m sorry for the delay, and thankful to those who let us know that they weren’t working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But anyway, that’s one thing that I’ve been trying to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have those times in our lives when everything seems to be falling apart, and it wouldn’t be so bad except for a lack of two crucial resources – time, and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a lot to update and fix at the moment. One of those things is simply document renewals – well, “simple” maybe isn’t the word – let’s say, “regular”. This time it’s a multi-step process involving the documents themselves, some communication, some driving, some payments… But a couple of steps are done, so we’re making progress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how many leaks are we dealing with at the moment? Well, less than we would be if it were rainy season. However, we still have several leaks, some of known cause and some unknown. When our hot water tank stopped working yet again, we called the plumber and took advantage of the situation to fix one of the major leaks. We now have hot water again, the major leak is fixed, two smaller leaks have appeared, and a significant one became larger. Would it be helpful to hire a plumber full-time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some major appliances hanging on by a thread. And there is some work on the van which needs to be done. And there’s some weird issue with our bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention some other digital issues, besides the one related to web forms, which seems to be solved for the moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"leftover<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And there’s that ebook I ordered that never arrived. Supposedly the issue should be resolved in 3-5 business days. Well, 3-5 more<\/em> business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably many of you – most of you – can relate. We could make fixing, fixing… a full time job, except that we have other jobs to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it’s just one of those times when everything seems to be happening at once. But anyway, a little prioritizing, a little progress, and a little leaving it with the Lord – and we’ll make it! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
