Take 2
There are couple of rules I apply around this time of year. Don’t rely on New Year’s resolutions and don’t set Christmas deadlines.
The first piece of wisdom would most likely qualify as an oxymoron because it was the result of a New Year’s resolution. It has however been my most successful one yet.
As for not setting Christmas deadlines, this pearl makes the Grinder a much more pleasant person to be with during the Christmas frenzy.
For example, last week I finally came to my senses and cancelled the carport contract with the local steel retailer.
Had I marked the calendar back in October and mapped out the time frames, it would have been reasonable to expect at least a partial construction by now. Thankfully, striving for adequate has curbed expectation and its nasty side effect – disappointment.
So it’s take 2, I am now signing up directly with the manufacturer and have to start the whole process over again. The ETA for delivery will now be late January. Construction COULD start February.
