Tuesday, Working hard

    I sewed on wedding dresses all day yesterday, and one was just picked up and the another will be picked up this afternoon, plus I have two second fittings today to try on and then will finish those up tomorrow.  I also have 4 bridesmaid dresses to get out by next week, but I have to really hit the pile of just hems and things as I have done nothing but wedding stuff for the last few sewing days.

     We looked at a house today that we both loved but it is more money that we would like to spend, and I don't want to take out another mortgage even though it would be small.  These are scary times here in Idaho as people from Seattle, Washington D.C. and California are coming up and writing checks for houses that are way overpriced. We just cannot find a house.  We will find a new listing and go and find out someone wrote a check for it already.

     Idaho is the number one state people are moving to right now. There is a great series on Prime about the Black death.  It is a 24 part lecture and it shows how our society has not changed at all. What is happening in our country today happened in the 1300 and 1400 hundreds.  They had mass move outs by the wealthy to less plague infested areas, they had terrible riots, over social concerns, they had people ignoring any safety precautions to party hardy, and further spread the plague.  We are seeing this in the bars with the younger people.  This went on in those times for over 3 years with the first major outbreak, then tapered off with additional outbreaks for another close to 200 years.  Every few years plague would return and wipe out any new growth.

     Hubs had to work at the high school last night and he was so disgusted.  He said no one came in wearing a mask, although he wore his.  He could not believe how stupid people were.  He kept his distance, but was quite upset by the behavior of many and they had small children with them.

     I need to get to work.  I have curtains to hem and replace, and then hems, and alterations out my ears.  We could move to another town in Idaho, but I do not want to give up my business.  I have worked hard to establish this and it allows us to do so many more things monetarily.

     I am working on having faith.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
