Chapter 211- Time for an Upgrade
"Jonathan, my friend, boy is it good to see you." I greeted him and went in for a big hug.
His two little ones were weaving around our legs as they both tried to climb over the other to hug their father.
"It's good to be back." He said with a smile.
His soirée over at Fort Hope had finally come to an end and it was nice to have him back. Without him, Abigail had taken on all the duties of buying and selling what we made or excavated from the dungeon.
She was handling it spectacularly, but I had taken up a portion of the slack to help her out and it was not something I liked doing.
I was familiar with numbers and spreadsheets and had spent a lot of time using them in college, but there were no computers to make it easy. If there had, I wouldn't have hated it so.
No, instead, everything needed to be done the old-fashioned way - On paper. Which took forever without the relevant skills, ones I didn't have. Manually balancing our expense sheet was tedious and long. We spent so much money that the list of receipts was nearly a mountain. I could do it and had done it, but now that he was back, it was something I would happily give away.
"Oh, I see that look in your eye. You just want me to pick back up the paperwork." Jonathan said with a laugh, "I see how it is."
"No, not at all," I said unconvincingly, "But it would be more efficient that way. But enough about that. Settle in and spend some time resting, we have a big day tomorrow."
He looked puzzled then understood, "So we're doing it then. Even with those who went South not here?"
"I don't see why not. It shouldn't be that hard and the heaviest hitters are still here." I said.
The Healers had finally given their go-ahead. All my bones, muscles, ligaments, and every other part of my body were healed and recovered. All the fractures were fused back together and all the tendons along with them.
