The Benson lady got the puzzles today and now we’re just 5 feedbacks away from opening the store. Again, we’re willing to do the work, but will God allow us to succeed? We understand, though, that if we do, it’ll take a long time to build up to the point where he doesn’t need to work outside the house.

He’s working on the letter to the bank which he plans to mail out on Wednesday. He’s trying to write it so it doesn’t come off as confrontational, yet it shows we mean business. Sometimes you do gotta come off as a bit confrontational, though, as I told him, to get your point across. I still think, based on past experience, that we’re going to be screwed over no matter what he writes, and if I hear one more person say that if we just behave and don’t go making trouble, then trouble we won’t have, I’ll scream! We can get away from having to live too close to people, but we cannot get away from people fucking us over. I worry about what God will have done to us when we move. Meaning, if we get in a situation where no one can take what’s ours, will he have it burned down by way of a forest fire or something? I sure hope not!

There is some good news and that’s that I finally heard from Bob. He said he just got the grape oil and plans to ship it tomorrow. He asked where I wanted it shipped and I told him.
