Many have messaged me about the audiobook- so here goes.
The company I was referred to dropped the ball. They thought they could use AI to edit the separate readings and messed the whole thing up. I have been fighting to get the original audio to send somewhere else, but that didn’t happen.
I demanded a refund, which also hasn’t happened. I was informed yesterday my refund will be sent back to me today, so we will see.
At this point, I’ll most likely try to go with someone else, but it took me weeks to recover emotionally after reading my book the first time. I’m not sure when and where, yet, but I hope to do it all again soon.
But in the meantime- Emmy has finally driven me crazy enough with her request for a garden that I have begun building her one.
The final design will be a U shape (or n, depending how you look at it) so she can drive up the middle to plant and pick her veggies.
I couldn’t just buy garden bricks and boards, because she was adamant that she has fairy lights hanging across the top- so I had to concrete 4 posts on the outside corners…
Once they are set, I can then screw in the outside boards and finish up the center, which I either have to pay someone to concrete or put paver stones down, because this portion of the yard is a mud hole and the whole thing will be useless to her unless she can drive a her wheelchair up to it.
Anywho, I’ll post the completed “Emmy designed garden” later this week. Yes, she designed the whole thing. And yes, she watches my every move very closely. And while she couldn’t understand why it had to look like a 🟩 to start with and kept saying “I just don’t see what you’re doing” , I think she will see it once I remove the front board and start creating her U shaped garden.
And all of this is being done in the evenings when I’m exhausted, because my business partner and I finally opened a bath and body store in Cabot and have spent every minute of everyday cleaning, painting, designing and stocking products!
