Where Wuz I???

Good GAWD! Why did I bother trying to get away? Here I am, back since, what? Tuesday around 9:30 AM and it feels like many, many days ago that I left. Fatigue level is overwhelming and I suspect “the old grey mare” syndrome has set in. The cats were really unimpressed with my appearance, Precious greeted me but would not let me pet her, preferring to stare out the kitchen window at “stuff” that cats conjure up in their little cat brains as there was absolutely nothing to see. Spook would not even emerge but waited until I was snoozing to jump on the bed and check me out – perhaps to see if it was really me.

As promised the sh** has hit the fan big time, with a move from the office and the car lease happening within weeks of each other. Man, I HATE moving. There are hundreds of books here and my home will need to have some serious switching around to accommodate the trappings of business. On the other hand … I will not pay the additional rent and I know in this town the rents will be doing nothing but going up. The car … well that’s a different headache one that I can put to the side for a few more days. Must focus … and by the way quodlibet … how far did you get in “A Purpose Driven Life”? There have been several places that were conducive to stopping but I am soldiering on - because ... that's what I do .... soldier on. "Suck It Up Butter-Cup".

  • Welcome back! Everyone always says that you need a holiday after a holiday. Doesn't seem to be any way of 'easing' back into our normal lives. You're moving your office????

  • Yep, moving the office and as testament to that, I spent the day cleaning the garage so one of the storage cupboards that I use can go in there. At this point I know it a good thing to do. The rent is going up and the guy who owns the place said that it will just keep rising. It is not a cost I can download to clients and I can just go "make more business" - if you know what I mean! :-)

  • rent right now is amazingly HIGH. We were looking at adding an additional 1200 sq feet office to our space (the office space next to ours became free). The landlords wanted to charge us more then what we pay for our 6000 sq feet of office space!
    Ugh! Forget that!

  • Yeah, what a rip! There are some downsides to this kind of boom, when the little guy/gal gets squeezed, but you know CanaGal, in my heart of hearts, I feel that this is the right move, right now. It would not be my first pick preferentially. In my old age I am beginning to see I can't always have what I want; I always get what I need, but not necessarily what I want.
