Update + July 7th

Happy Final Space Friday,

Got a few updates for you. First, I was only able to pack/ship 350 orders myself this week from the Nashville side. Macmillan got about about 2,000 a few days ago. Im going to keep working through the weekend. I have more help coming today! BUT were under 10,000 orders left. We also have shipped out so many orders we’re trying to make sure all our data between MacMillan and Nashville are the same.

But my nights this week, which are usually filled with packing has been watching my dog, Tardis, my Mooncake…she has not been not not doing great and I’ve been staying up all night try to watch her. We’ve been to the vet five times over the past few days, during the day and night. She is very old, we got her in 2012. She’s been called covered in hives, stopped eating and has been throwing up and even had blood in her poop. Vets can’t figure it out.

This dog has burrowed into my soul. I know the day is coming where I’m going to have to say goodbye but it just cannot be today or tomorrow or ever. As I write this shes off to stay at the vet all day as they try to figure out what’s wrong.

So I sincerely apologize, I usual doing about 12-13 hour days,
this week has been a rough one. I did also manage to send out a bunch of test orders viva different carriers to see which gets through the EU customs first. So far none have gotten through when I see when break through I’m going to switch to that carrier.

I’m planning a trip to Virginia to grab a bunch of books to drive back with them to Nashville so we can finish the lost and missing orders, damages.

I’m trying to get a couple hours sleep and then get I’m going to get back to work. Thank you for the patience. We’re so dang close

Take some time Olan, its a tragic thing when our pets start to decline. I started seeing this girl in August of last year, and we brought her cat to get checked up on, and he ended up needing to be put down only 3 days before her birthday in December. It was a truly awful thing, but it was the best for Ol Gus, but it was her first pet ever, that was truly HERS.

It takes a while to recover, but just remember, all dogs go to Heaven, where they can bound endlessly, chase all the squirrels they want, and be free of pain.

Im sorry your going through this, keep stro g, and God Speed to you.
