One of the reasons we got the clues spread out over more time this year is because she didn't go right back to work after the 1st of the year. Next week she is back on the road, so I expect Friday will be the reveal with the answer to what to do with the remaining neutrals and how those specific cutting instructions and placements will turn out.
And now that the Inn is open and producing income she will better be able to see how she can shift her gone all the time focus. She and I have the same eye disease and I know from conversations with her this is one of the 'behind' reasons for trying to not travel so much. So maybe maybe the 2020 mystery will be spread out more again.
