Holiday Lag

 Good Morning! Happy 2022! I'm at Brew Coffee, writing this blog and listening to some 2000's bass hunter and other similarly energizing/corny dance music. As things wrapped last weekend on the holidays, everyone who was working with us to get the cafe built took some time off. Like I said in our holiday Q&A video, we were hoping to open in late December, but now I don't think that would have been possible even if we were more on track.

Everyone disappeared in late December

The last couple weeks have been a frustrating combination reaching out to no responses, or a "i'll be back in x days," resulting in minimal work on my end. There were a handful of people who were there to answer questions, and I did get our ceiling materials ordered, but I was really hoping to make some big progress these last two weeks that just didn't happen.

Let's look on the bright side

Everyone I'm working with has had the opportunity to take a break during the holidays, and that feels good. It's nice to know i'm working with companies that respect their employees time off. I got to read a couple new books and make gifts for friends, bake some annual cookie tins and sleep in. I'm getting faster at excel, and updated some existing sheets with more concrete numbers based on ordering. 

I'm going to continue doing what I can to prepare for opening, and push construction along as quickly as the city will let me. I'll be designing menus very soon, i'm excited to share those here and get some feedback. I'll talk more about this soon, but designing menus has so many things to consider! 

For now there's not too much more to share, happy new years again everyone, thanks for reading :^)
