The first: Emmett and I are planning to expand the barn with some wood reclaimed from the old shed. This is a project I intend to work on in my free time, so I do not anticipate it to interfere with any of my ongoing or future obligations. I trust your judgment on what needs to be escalated to Roswell or otherwise. I do not believe this is such a thing that requires escalation, for what it is worth.
The second: I prepared and delivered a statement of work regarding restoration of the wind farm to Whitney. I also prepared a copy of the same which I gave to Roswell. The ball is now in Whitney's court, so to speak, on what they decide to do.
[...] [...] [...] And relatedly, I think it was a mistake to put me in charge of this project. Not the work itself, I am confident I can deliver on that front. But [...] interfacing with Whitney. I do not think I am suited. [...] I have thought about this over the past few days, and getting the wind farm back online is important to me, too important for me to get in the way of myself. This is not just an opportunity for Whitney to have more reliable power, but an opportunity to innervate all of Meagher Valley with electricity, and potentially beyond. No one has ever designed a wind farm to power just one thing, after all. Even if it means lighting the highway at night again, success in this endeavor can bring about good things for many people. [...] Yet I am incapable of interacting in ordinary conversation in any way that appeals. I think I am already getting in the way of myself and this project. I will poison what can otherwise be a positive relationship between our communities. I do not know how to prevent this other than to remove myself. So it would serve everyone better if you were the face of this operation, Gideon. People like to talk to you. Mara will like to talk to you. Let me do the work and remain in the background. [...] Please.
I scoped out spaces for a sparring club yesterday. I think the best options are to either use part of the schoolhouse or perhaps part of the big barn that we use for various things. If we turn a portion of the schoolhouse into something of a gym area, the kids could probably use it as well but admittedly, it would make things more cramped. I don't think it would be too much of a hindrance though.
Thank you for helping keep the kids entertained and wrangled this afternoon, as probably couldn't have done it without you. Anything in particular you want off the next deer or bear I bring in and break down?
Have you seen Emmett or Roswell? I arrived at the barn earlier to work on the extension, but I found Clark there. He did not know where Emmett was. I have also not seen Roswell all day. [...] [...] Do you think they are in love?
Gideon. Roswell is accompanying Quaid to Prescott. From what I can tell this is not because Roswell is in love with Quaid, more so that he is concerned about Quaid's condition after being bitten by a zombie and contracting fever, etc.
If I have any further updates I will relay them to you promptly.
hi Gideon, hope this find you well. wanted to get your thoughts on Prescott fostering a pair/group of kittens with the intention to take them in permanently if things fit well?
Gideon. I understand I am likely the last person you want to hear from today, but I hope you are holding up in light of yesterday's events and the grievous wounds to your face sustained the day before. The apple trees look striking right now, and I thought you would appreciate this picture. May it bring you some good spirit.

[A delivery of one Ghiradelli chocolate square, 92% cacao. The chocolate is past its best-by date, but because of its cacao content, it should still be fine to eat. No note or other material has been provided explaining where this chocolate came from or why it's being provided. This is John's way of trying to keep Lundegaard in (relatively) good spirits in light of the oncoming horde.]
Delivered: a bar of soap (lavender, peppermint, or unscented) and a small jar of thick moisturizing hand cream for the dry winter months that smells heavily of honey and birch, tester recipes from Nat with a note listing all ingredients in case of allergies and: Happy Holidays, thanks for being a Guinea Pig xo Nat
