No, I'm non dead as well as I haven't given upwards on blogging. I've been SUPER busy the concluding duet weeks as well as haven't had whatsoever fourth dimension to post. I'll explicate why.

Many of yous know that I alive inward the Phoenix area. Phoenix, every bit you've in all probability heard, is nestled inward the geographic surface area called the Sonoran desert.

Just every bit the Definition inward a higher house (pulled it correct off the internet) describes, nosotros larn an extremely pocket-sized amount of pelting each year. Aside from the summertime "monsoon" season, it is a rare occasion to encounter pelting inward the Valley of the Sun.

I've mentioned hither that I was a vendor this past times weekend at the Vintage Charm Holiday Boutique.

 Let me part a Doppler icon of Arizona from Friday.

No, I'm non kidding. I want I had doctored this image, but it's true. The heaven decided to un-zip correct on overstep of my furniture.

Here's a photograph taken merely a few miles downwards the route from the venue.

And the best business office is, it lasted for iii days. Yep. In fact, Fri was the rainiest solar daytime we've had inward 10 years. This is the 2nd wettest Nov inward recorded history. So, yous tin imagine how my OUTSIDE booth at the boutique fared. 

Thankfully, I sold a few items on Th earlier the pelting started. Friday, I was stuck at habitation waiting for a customer as well as watching the kids piece my married adult man went to schoolhouse as well as locomote (the venue was most 45 mins from our house). I asked him to halt past times on his agency habitation to survey the damage.

The skillful intelligence was, only iii of my most valuable pieces were destroyed (did yous withdraw heed the sarcasm inward my voice?), as well as everything else had been thrown into a pile nether my tent, which was straightaway sitting inward iii inches of standing water. 

We borrowed a truck, grabbed the trailer as well as drove off to endeavour to relieve what nosotros could. I made certain to catch my photographic tv camera to document the devastation, but when nosotros got there, I went into panic/survival agency as well as completely forgot to snap whatsoever pics (sorry).

It was neat fun wadding through the mud as well as flooded driveway to recall my soggy, moisture work! Thankfully, unopen to wonderful someone grabbed my white tufted bench as well as placed it within earlier it could larn soaked. Other than that, everything looked similar yous had pulled it upwards from the bottom of a lake. 

Apparently, my tent had also collapsed every bit unopen to betoken inward the nighttime landing on my article of furniture as well as destroying my tent. I wanted to cry. All I could encounter was the hours upon hours of work, the fourth dimension ignoring my kids, the muddied trouble solid for weeks. That was all washed away. Not to call the fiscal investment. 

I'm going to larn existent personal for a minute: The coin that I planned to earn at the boutique already had a destination. Since nosotros don't get got medical insurance, concluding twelvemonth I incurred a medical mouth that has been looming over our heads. It has straightaway been sent to collections as well as is perpetually damaging our credit. The coin from the boutique was supposed to pay off the mouth as well as larn the creditor calls to stop. Now, the piffling chip of coin I made volition get got to become to repairs as well as buying a novel tent.

Sorry to live such a downer today. On the vivid side, I did accept photos of everything earlier I took it to the boutique. So, I'll get got posts showing all the "before as well as after"s. I was REALLY happy alongside the agency most of the pieces turned out. I'm excited to part them alongside yous guys! So, hold off forwards to unopen to update posts coming soon. And thank yous for letting me complain most my crappy weekend!
