When it rains it pours… or should I say snows!
On top of everything else going on right now, Will is digging us out from a huge blizzard. Back in Northwood, we’d pray for a few flurries before Christmas, but this is ridiculous… we could hardly open our front door this morning.
You’d think the wild weather would discourage people from venturing out for jam and fruit and other holiday goodies, but apparently not! Everyone around here has four-wheel drive, so they just plow through the snow and get on with their lives. Good thing we took the time over the weekend to stockpile some jars in anticipation of the rush. The line-ups have been out the door, and we’re short one very important worker: Will.
Did I mention he decided to get the family an early Christmas present this year? A puppy! Not sure how I feel about it just yet… the last thing I need is another responsibility right now, but the kids promised to walk him and Will promised to train him… which is what he’s been up to the past few days. Of course, the kids named him Berry (how cute is that?!?) and Will is such a softie that he refuses to leave the little guy in a crate, and that means he can’t be left alone for a single second, for the sake of our floors, carpets and shoes
Being up all night with a whining puppy has really done a number on my energy level… I swear, Berry is worse than Pearl ever was! And with the recording contract in the back of my mind, I’m feeling pretty distracted overall. I won’t know for sure until next week if the demo album is a go, because everybody’s on holiday ‘til after Christmas, but I’m almost more worried they will want me to do it than if they don’t. Will, Grettle and the kids have pledged their overwhelming support – which makes me adore them more than I could ever articulate – but what would that mean for everything we’ve worked so hard to build here together?
Grettle keeps telling me not to worry, to just relax and let life show me where it wants to take me, but I’m not convinced. It’s all good stuff, sure, but once again our future is up in the air…
Now that our Team Family is finally back on track, do I really want to rock the boat?
