Where am I at right now?

Truthfully, I feel stretched thin, ragged, and ready to just turn it in and hide for a while. My second little boy is due in early September and I've been riding the razor's edge near physical and mental burnout since well before April.

See, we found out we were pregnant on New Year's Eve. This kiddo was prayed for and hoped for through loss and heartache for nearly two years. Finding out was a massive surprise and the best start to the new year we ever could have asked for. But with the excitement also came stress. What if we experienced another loss? What if we went to another ultrasound appointment and didn't see a heartbeat? What if things didn't go well? What if? I feel like I've been holding my breath all year waiting for something to go wrong and I know…

Another week’s rolling in. Nothing wild, nothing chaotic—just another set of days to tune your life like you’d tune your build.

No need to over-rev.

No pressure to be at peak performance.

Just… be. Enjoy the little stuff.

Open your windows.

It’s Monday again.

Yeah, we feel it too. But before the week kicks into high gear, just a reminder — you don’t have to have it all figured out today. Take it slow, one bolt, one breath, one small win at a time. The garage will still be there. The build will still be there. You’re allowed to pace yourself. Let’s ease into it this week — steady hands, clear mind. 🤝🛠️

Hey crew — quick reminder before the weekend hits:

Not every bolt has to be torqued to spec, not every build has to be perfect, and not every day has to be productive. Sometimes just showing up to the garage, putting some music on, and zoning out with a ratchet in your hand is enough. Don’t overthink it. This is therapy, not a competition. ✌️🛠️

Crazy Times out there! Sometimes you might just need to talk to someone to make sense out of things. So, if you’re in need of a shoulder, and ear or even a kidney, holla at ya boy! I’m not a therapist but I listen without judgement and sometimes, I give sage advice. Anywho, you’re not alone!
