Honestly, When It Rains It Does Pour!

By

Honestly, when it rains it pours!

Please forgive me for not commenting or writing much these last two weeks but I'm running around like a chicken without a head and haven't had a manicure in two weeks!  In between getting ready for my son's wedding on October 11, the Jewish holidays, ministering to my husband George who after the detached retina debacle earlier this summer, now seems to have a sciatic problem along the L5 and is on crutches, and firming up vacation plans to visit the great state of Oregon (and finally meet the one and only and most fabulous Gayle Rich Boxman), I have a business to run!!!

Between 3 bathroom remodels in Scarsdale, one whole house re-design in Chappaqua, decorating a brand new house in Katonah, 2 NYC co-op lobbies and a couple of family rooms and living room, I am absolutely swamped!   I know, be careful what you wish for and this is a good problem to have - but I only have one tush and there are just too many chairs!  My time in the rain has definitely been compromised and I feel that I owe my followers and those I follow, an explanation.

Please forgive me but you all know from your own lives that when it rains, it does pour!!!

Thank you Sybil Campbell -I know you must have experienced this too!

Hi there Chris Ann Cleland - I just don't like getting behind on what's happening.

Ok Debbie Gartner - so give a buzz when you can and hopefully I can answer!

Thanks so much Kathleen Daniels - I am worried about his back and hoping that this will work itself out without his going under the knife.  Appreciate the positive energy.

Good evening Troy Erickson - you are so right, life happens for sure!

I sure have been missing you. We have a wedding in the family in two weeks and it has taken a lot of time. In the meantime work goes on as you said.

There seems to be cycles in life that don't allow us to catch much of a break.  Hopefully, things will begin to nicely fall into place for you, and you can look back at this time and all that was accomplished!

Good morning Joanna. The physical stuff can take a lot of energy, hope George starts to heal. I used to have back issues, but have made friends with it. My chiropractor keeps any pain in check.

Thanks Debbie Reynolds - miss you too.  Weddings require a lot of planning and I am FRANCK (Father of the Bride) for this one.

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat - you are right and it does feel good when things are accomplished.  I just hate having a checklist.

Thanks so much Grant Schneider - it is and it isn't - I have to learn how to say "NO" or "NOT NOW".  And thank you on the good wishes for Marcus.

What can I say Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 - I may collapse on the boat - thank you for rescuing me!!!

Thanks for the good wishes Inna Ivchenko - keeping my head above water so that is an achievement.  Have a great week.

Hey there Joe Petrowsky - he is trying to get an official diagnosis and it doesn't seem to be easy.

Yes James Dray - it's good to be busy and I like it - this is beyond busy!!! It's called FRENETIC.

Joanna we always understand this in the Rain... yes the detached retina takes high priority...as well as a wedding preparation... then of course the holidays do not help... but as you can see everyone on the Rain understands this...Endre

You have been missed. What an amazing amount you have on your plate right now. Time to get a much bigger platter.

Hoping George is feeling better soon and that you will dance together at your son's wedding!

Note:

 Gel manicures can last a really long time!!
