@NiveusLepus My Mom does the bakery with me, but she takes her stress out on me, which is just making this extra hard. She’s an extra set of hands, though.

@LindaGoodliffe That sounds tough, especially when you have so much to make! One pie at a time, you will conquer the hill!

@NiveusLepus Thank you!! ❤️

@LindaGoodliffe How goes the great pie making war?

@NiveusLepus Hey!!! Thanks for asking! I was just telling Mom tonight that I want to send our batshit crazy nemesis, aka quasi competition, a thank you card for beating us on the farmers market thing. 😂 We’re growing faster now and in a limitless way b/c we had to pivot thanks to her! We have been SLAMMED this year for the holidays! Yay!! Also, there was a 30 min line just to see us at our first bridal expo last month!! We were in shock. How are you?

@LindaGoodliffe Sounds like all that effort and persistence is paying off even if it's stressful.

The obstacle becomes the way -Zen Proverb.

I'm doing pretty well! Getting back into routine, making progress on my latest novel. Things go well.

@NiveusLepus Were you talking about my earlier COSO post about my baking stress, and I just went on a crazy tangent because I thought you were someone else from Twitter? 😬 So sorry! The baking stress war is kind of a tie right now. I’m still alive, but barely. You should see my raw hands, and everything hurts, and I’m not fun to be around. And, it wasn’t enough, and I will have to talk my way out of that mess tomorrow. 😖

@LindaGoodliffe We'd not met before, but that I'm always happy to listen. I can understand how this time of year would be especially stressful for bakers, and with the flu adding to it all.. ouch.

It's nice to meet you, and if you need to vent I've got two big ears and no waiting.

@NiveusLepus It’s nice to meet you too!! Thank you for offering your ears, that’s so nice of you. Mine are available to you as well. Happy Thanksgiving!!

@NiveusLepus Thank you for asking. ❤️
