Goodbye April 2025 | Day in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers ,

Let's have recap of April. I'm enjoying the busy days. But I really needed a break. I've been working since febr 24/7. That means Saturday and Sunday too. With in mind my personal responsibilities did not diminish it actually added up. But I'm not complaining. I'm happy to be able to be there for my family where I can in any way possible. 

Sick bunny

I began the month sick. I think my body needed rest. But I pushed through while making sure I took care off myself like I do others.

Finishing Februari projects

So February started with two potential site visit. End of March I was finally able to deliver a hars copy version to the client. Not something I do for free but first time project's you make exceptions. The payment was also a doozy. I got lost driving to the location but I was welcomed with a kind woman who made it all worth if. 

The second project I was suppose to be finish begin April and set to finish the construction side plus start the building permit by April 17th. But the client wanted additions which meant back to the drawing board. I did finish the design for him with a lot of his help mostly because I've noticed he was very precise with what he wanted. I tend to lend my advice at that point only when I see technical issues.

Following up with client's 

I have a project that I still needed to get paid for. This is something where the client is shocked with my patience.  But I have to say learned a lot from this experience. 

Building permit mistakes 

The building department has some corrections. 

- the site drawing

- layout needed more ventilation

- the dimensions needed to be done a certain way.

- extra detailled construction drawings

 

Dates with the boys

My oldest nephew wanted to go get books. So I took him the 2nd week of April. He was so shy. I'm so proud of him. He is dealt a bad card but I know he will overcome it. I pray for my nephew's and nieces. I pray God is with them every day.  Because it was Easter vacay for the kids I wanted to do one fun thing with them.  

Tax experience headache

I did my best to do my taxes really early. But the online experience is not working. And contacting the department since March. Finally an answer that was them being helpful. But sadly no concrete answer nor help. So I asked my brother for help to open a person account and still waiting for authorisation. But the second problem is not fixed yet.  A friend asked me you do the profit and loss yourself. Wow very brave of you. I wanted to scream almost because I actually did ask people in business multiple times and nobody could help. Or some didn't even bother to be helpful.  But by almost the last week I believed in the Lord making a way for this part to be finished and done correctly by the end of the month.

The holy week

The Lord's words I heard every day. I try 3 times a week to listen to read the New testament.  I've seen a difference in my life. I felt his peace and joy. Not because everything is perfect but because my mindset changed. I've noticed it with a friend that I drifted a part from. Being mentally done with everything.  And I'm like I tried and failed. Because end of the day. You have to be willing for real change in your life. And sometime people need to get a breaking point for them to change their life. The holy week helped me release resentment for people that hurt me in my past. Which is funny. Saying you forgive somebody and not getting feeling anger anymore takes awhile. 

The last Sunday service made me cry. Mostly because she was talking about believing in God is a gift from God. Not everyone is capable and wants to see miracles and looking for proof before they believe. And I'm learning that. Some do not believe because they need to see his presence first. So as the new month has begun. I believe the Lord is with me every single day. May I be reminded when my faith is struggling.
