Just a Quick Update · 8:09pm Feb 2nd, 2023
For the interested: I'm still focused on getting The Advocate completed.
I had planned to make some progress this week, and still might depending how the weekend falls out, but it is becoming clear it won't be as much progress as I'd hoped, if any.
I have an elderly family member going through a serious medical emergency, and I also had to undertake an emergency fence construction project after finding my horse tangled in barbed wire several mornings in a row. The previous owners of our property seemed to love the stuff, but never took care of the fences.
Nuking it all, and rebuilding with split-rail, solves that problem nicely, and cheaply, and even aesthetically, but post holes don't dig themselves...
So my days have been up early, feed horse, build fence a bit, clock in to work early, 'break' at lunch to build fence, finish work, build fence until dark, help family with ancillary tasks since their days were busy tending to medical emergency, roll into bed dead-tired and with my mending leg sore, repeat.
Things will clear up. If nothing else the fence will get done this weekend, and hopefully the medical situation will calm down as well.
But it has reached a point, and I've had enough questions from folks, that I felt like it was worth an update.
🖖
I hope it works out for you.
I hope your relative gets well soon!

The horse looks content. Sorry your life is being hectic.
Your life is clearly hard, and I understand, and I wish only things to improve for you.
