Thought
by Mitchell
Have you ever felt like you're on the first part of windy forest foot path minding you're own business, maybe daydreaming about the vacation you'd like to take, or maybe just enjoying the sprouting ferns and spring flowers pushing through dirt? And then SUDDENLY in front of you is a very steep incline? A mountain that you didn't know about or expect?
That's how I feel at this very moment. The winter and early spring at MetroFresh were just sort of cooking along. Yes we had a snow/ice storm. But it wasn't bad, and we only had to close for a day. But mostly we were happy to have some cold weather to sell a bunch of soup and go on our merry way.
The fire in my mop room on February 27th at about 10:45 at night changed all that. My last week's meandering through the woods turned into a trek up the side of a mountain. And the truth is, I haven't really even begun the climb. It's very slow going.
Leaving the analogy behind, I'll give you the non-update. We have been working on producing the documentation the insurance company is asking for. We have met with adjusters, remediators, and advocates. So far, the forward movement seems sort of stalled. We're in that waiting period - waiting for all the investigators to investigate and the number crunchers to crunch the numbers. All this has to happen before any decisions about how and when to proceed get made.
I'm sure this week will be better and forward progress will be more noticeable. But in the meantime, I'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other and climb the mountain, I'm sure if I do this, before too long I will reach the top.
So come visit us at MetroFresh Uptown! It's so nice to see a familiar face or two. We're open Monday - Friday from 8am-2:30pm. And 7:30 on Thursdays for Happy Hour!
