We have unfortunate news. If you haven’t been following along lately, we needed to find a printer who could fold our very thick, sturdy, durable paper…and we did. Pause for a “yay, we jumped that hurdle” moment.

Okay, so now, we’re waiting on our blank dummy and our usually-very-on-top-of-things liaison doesn’t contact us the very minute it should arrive (he usually calls us within seconds of an emailed question. Amazing.) Should we panic? No, no, it’s just a small shipping bump or something probably, but we decide to call a day later because we have no fingernails left to chew on. And then he says “Well, they’ve been hit by a typhoon.”

What?!?!? That’s not the slightly late delivery truck driver we were expecting. Now I know what it feels like to not know what’s going on in the world. How can someone be hit by a typhoon and I don’t even know it?

As far as the printing, let me reassure you that it sets us back time-wise a little, but won’t stop the printer from getting things done. They have in fact bent over backwards for us.

Now when I complain about not being able to get writing/art done because I have a cold, or it’s too hot out, or I didn’t get enough sleep, I’m going to remember our printer who’s getting our book done despite having their home hit by a typhoon. Thank you for that. You’re completely allowed to take a day off from adventuring.

For the rest of you, get out there and live it up! Make each day (or maybe every other if it’s a major one ;P ) an adventure! And maybe choose to read up on what mother nature has in store for another part of the world…
