Still Chaos!

We are still plucking things out of the chaos and attempting to put them into place. It's been a couple of months, and it's time to really stuff it all into place and operate.

It's interesting to note that as time passes, original thoughts give way to better thoughts, and I'm then grateful that time passed.  The ceiling has grown two feet in time. That wouldn't have happened on the schedule we proposed. But now the "wild river" blue climbs another foot, the tops of the windows swim in it, and the "shearling" white comes a foot down to greet it gracefully from the distant ceiling. The dirty drop is history. And the historic ceiling is now, gracefully proud.

Today: a lot of equipment is sitting askew in the kitchen and dining room; most of it arrived this past weekend. As the bakery case was staring the front door in the face after all of the door trim was removed, I found myself calling out to a stranger across the street for help. I'm driven; no time for pleasantries. Then the trim of the bakery case itself was removed, and I watched, entire body tied in knots as the glass face of the bakery case crept through the doorway begrudgingly, heavily.

There is much to do, less to do than before, and always more to do than we thought.
