Apocalypse

I can tell I'm stressed about the upcoming fundraiser. Apparently more so than I even know. I'm sure most of you have had those nightmares where you walk into a class to take the final test only to realize you hadn't attended any of the classes previously and didn't have a clue what the test was about.


I've been having dreams about the fundraiser and it's the same dreaded feeling. I have no idea why. I guess because I'm totally not prepared. Once again I'll be winging it. Which apparently is the norm for me. I even dreamt about an apocalypse the night before. How crazy is that? But I think because there's the arena rent to cover ($250), and the weather isn't going to be gorgeous (even though we DO have an indoor arena), I'm still worried. It's always the unknowns. It's not like we haven't had a fundraiser fail before but I worry nonetheless.


So I'm still scrambling. I spent last night shopping in preparation for the fundraiser. And we needed to pick up those blasted nails for the hay barn. And we discovered a terrible bit of news. The manufacturer discontinued the nails (at least in all the box stores)!!! The box stores are not restocking them with anything. So we are left with a HOLE in our roof and no nails. I think we can order them still because they are still available but only through the manufacturer. But that'll take another week to get here so we will have a HOLE in our roof until then!! Mike is going to go up tonight and put a sheet of plywood over the hole until we can get some nails but it totally ruined our night. I was in such high spirits and then that bit of news sort of spoiled the night. And then things continued to spiral down so now I'm a bit on the grumpy side. So hopefully I can pull myself out of this funk. We have lots going on and lots to be excited about. Just disappointed to know that we could be done with the roof (or at least have MOST of it up) by Sunday if we had nails. It's hard to see that you're so close to finishing a project only to come up against a wall. But that is the norm for us. The kicker is the box of nails are super spendy. Or at least it feels spendy. And there's no other alternatives, we looked.


So for the next few days I'm sure I'll continue to dream about the fundraiser, and hopefully it won't turn into even crazier dreams. I'm not sure my brain can handle it.
