After two very full weeks of taking care of personal business, I’ve hit a snag in my progress—car parts can be so pricey and slow to arrive—I am happy to report I’m finally getting back to work today.

So look for new montages in the near future.
If not today, definitely tomorrow.

Just in case you think I’ve been having too much fun, most of my time off has been spent dealing with the following necessary—but not-so-fun—stuff:

  • Major plumbing upgrades

  • Department of Motor Vehicles bureaucracy

  • Major car repairs

  • Cleaning up my various messes

I never thought I’d spend so much time—or money—on so many things I don’t enjoy. Think I need a Spring Break from all this adulting….

Thankfully, my best friend has helped me get through some of the biggest hurdles. And two of my dearest—though sadly not nearest—have been cheerleading me via daily calls and text messages.

Thank you, thank you, to my ride-or-die friends/chosen family. Thanks also to some very helpful DMV workers, mechanics, plumbers, and a super-nice tow truck driver. And, last but not least, big thanks to all my kind and patient subscribers.

I am a very lucky guy to have so many wonderful people on my side.

May you have as many good folks rooting for you too, boo.
If not, please count me amongst your cheerleading squad.
I love any excuse to cheer, clap, and shake my poms poms. šŸ“£šŸ‘

Time to get busy here, so let’s make it a great day: GO, CREW, GO!!!
