In the four hours of electricity we had today, I managed to build a door and finish the guitar repair. I even did a short live on Instagram and sang a couple of songs for good measure.
It must seem weird, that being american citizens, my wife and I chose to be here of all places. We could, I guess, "go back", but at least at the moment we seem to be in agreement that bullshit is coming from all angles, and we best learn to roll with it regardless of where we are.
Aside from the initial shock of learning we will live like pseudo-cavemen for the near future, I think the day went pretty well. Finished the door I was working on (it's glued up and curing), and managed to finish the guitar repair which will bring a little bit of of green to our finances (something we need).
At any rate, as I say in the video. I hope that if you are facing crazy challenges in your life at this moment, you find the courage and the support around you to face them head on and not only survive them, but thrive despite of them.
The world seems crazy at the moment, and it almost doesn't matter where I look, but despite of it all, remaining calm and positive is the lion share of the game.
Cheers amigos
